Directed by: Terry Zwigoff
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, John Ritter, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac
Audio problem: When Willie listens to his messages, the sound of a tape rewinding can be heard although it's a digital answering machine.
Audio problem: As Bad Santa is at the arcade "thrusting the girl", he is heard talking to her, and he is obviously saying something else, and at some points his mouth is closed. Very noticeable.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when John Ritter is trying to fire Santa and the elf, there is a cup with candy canes on the edge of his desk. The number of candy canes change with each shot. (00:32:20 - 00:34:10)
Trivia: Small children have told Billy Bob Thornton they like the film - he was reportedly "stunned" that parents would allow their kids to watch it.
Answer: A pickle on the Christmas tree is a game. The 1st one who finds the pickle gets a present.
