Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

Revealing mistake: As Harold and Kumar are driving through Newark they observe some guys beating up a 'lamer version of them'. Right after Harold and Kumar say "Holy Shit" we see the gang stop, pause and then start again. Watch the guy in the green beenie hat as he swings the baseball bat. He makes to hit the guy on the floor but actually stops the swing about three feet above him.

Scrappy

Continuity mistake: When Harold and Kumar are at the Burger Shack drive-thru, Kumar is sitting in a cloth seat in one shot, yet the Camry is seen with a leather interior throughout the rest of the movie.

Revealing mistake: When Kumar is clipping his pubes in Harold's mirror, when they go to a close up of Kumar's face and torso when he's speaking, you can see the blue shorts he's wearing for the shot. When Harold entered the room we can see Kumar from behind nude facing the mirror.

Factual error: They said that they were going to a White Castle in Cherry Hill, NJ. In reality, at the time, the White Castle was located in Pennsauken, NJ (about 10 minutes from Cherry Hill). Also, there are no cliffs anywhere near that location. The area is pretty flat.

Plot hole: When Harold and Kumar are smoking on the stairs, the security guard scares them away, but he never actually saw Harold and Kumar. Later at the party, the security guard and another guy point out to them and briefly chase after them.

Trivia: Kal Penn, who plays Kumar, is allergic to nuts. During the scene where he crashes through the ceiling at the station, a nut-based mixture was used for the dust that comes out of the heat vent. Upon entering the set that day, Penn had a severe allergic reaction, and had to be taken to a hospital. Later, a safer, nut-free concoction was used for the scene.
