Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star

Revealing mistake: Dickie is in the garage with Sam and sally, and throws down the farm toy. You can see a battery on the ground, yet it is still making noise.

Revealing mistake: When Dickie is learning how to ride a bike he falls down about four times and then hits a car and flies over it. As you watch him the camera goes to his point of view before he hits the car and you can see a dent where he had obviously hit before.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where David Spade and Scott Terra give a serenade on stilts, both characters rise up from behind a fence perfectly vertically. It's impossible to slowly rise upwards while on stilts the way the characters did. The way they rise, it's impossible for them to have simply had their knees bent and stood up straight. They must have been raised up on a machine.

Continuity mistake: Dickie is finally convinced to take off his gloves for good later in the movie. But not long before this scene when Dickie is making fun of the bullies at school, he has no gloves on the entire time.

Question: When Dickie runs into Leif Garrett at the newsstand, why do they first act like they haven't seen each other in months, and then Leif asks if they're still on for poker on Tuesday? How would they have a poker night set up if they haven't seen each other?

Answer: Maybe Leif called Dickie, or vice-versa, without actually SEEING each other. Maybe it's not a weekly thing, maybe Leif is new to their poker group.
