Corrected entry: When Jack is threatening Gay with the truth serum syringe, the content in it varies between shots: when the camera looks at Gay, the syringe is empty; when it looks to Jack, the syringe is full.
Corrected entry: Sodium pentathol, the truth serum given to Gaylord, renders the drugged person in an unconscious, trance-like state. Gaylord would not have been able to walk around and function relatively normally as shown in the film.
Correction: Actually, in low enough doses it doesn't, it just causes a drunk-like state. See this site for more information. http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/other/sodium_pentothol_info1.shtml.
Corrected entry: When Gay is given truth serum, why does he then profess that he has a son with Isabella, if the truth is that he does not know anything about this?
Correction: One side effect of Sodium Pentathol is high suggestability. Jack's suggestion that he had a son made him BELIEVE it was true.
Corrected entry: After Jack injects Gaylord with the truth serum, he tells him that Gaylord will have no memory of it. The next morning, Gaylord and Pam are talking about what happened and Gaylord cannot remember. Not long after, as the whole family confronts Jack as he's leaving, Deena pulls the bottle of truth serum out and tells how Jack gave it to Gaylord. Suddenly, Gaylord makes some comment about how Jack gave it to him, implying that he remembered the event.
Correction: If I remember correctly, Gaylord says that it was coming back to him since Deena mentioned it. The serum more then likely didn't erase his entire memory of it 100%.
Corrected entry: It's established in the first film that Jack Byrnes was in the CIA for 32 years. But when he and Little Jack are in the RV trying to go back to N.Y. he says he has been in there for 34 years, and later he says 32 years again.
Correction: Actually, it's mentioned several times in the first movie that he was in the CIA for specifically 34 years. I believe 32 years is truly a mistake. That is the only time in all 3 movies someone says 32 years vs 34 in reference to Jack's time in his career in the CIA.
Correction: Actually he never says he was in the CIA for 34 years. He says "34 years spent reading people", 32 of which were with the CIA, the other two were presumably after he retired, spent reading Greg.
Corrected entry: After Jack has the massage, he returns to his van with his shirt open. When he enters his motor-home the shirt has all the buttons tied.
Correction: As he walks towards the motorhome, you see from behind that he pulls the shirt closed and begins to button it.
Corrected entry: The hair Jack collected from Greg's hat would have been useless for DNA comparison - it had no follicle.
Correction: Thats not true, there was a tiny follicle at the end.
Corrected entry: When Greg throws the brick into the RV it bounces off and shatters the windshield. But when the camera zooms out in the next shot it looks as though nothing happened.
Correction: Because the angle is now further way, the damage isn't as evident.
Corrected entry: The morning after Greg has the truth serum, he wakes up and his dad is still in bed. He walks downstairs and finds his dad outside.
Correction: After he wakes up, he's seen walking into the kitchen to talk with Pam. Obviously, there would be a lapse in time between that and when the family is gathered outside.
Corrected entry: Greg goes to investigate his parents' whipped cream antics in the bedroom. When he enters the room, Bernie Focker has whipped cream on his face, Roz Focker has it on her chest, and then she places a towel on top of her chest. In the next shot, the whipped cream is gone from both, his face and her chest, and no one wiped it off.
Correction: That is incorrect. They continuously wipe themselves up between shots.
Corrected entry: When Greg meets his "son", Jack's hand moves from on Jorges shoulder, to off it, to on his back in subsequent shots. (01:22:05)
Correction: Actually, you can see Jack move his hand down from Jorge's shoulder to the middle of his back where it stays. They shoot the scene in front of Jack and behind him but once his hand moves to Jorge's back it stays there, except for one shot. In that shot, they show Greg and so it could be logically that Jack moved his hand up back up to Jorge's shoulder for a second and then back down again.
Corrected entry: When the Fockers and the Byrnes are arguing after the baby glues his hand to the rum bottle, Jack yells something about celebrating mediocrity and gestures at Kate. It's the other hand that's gesturing in the next shot. (01:09:40)
Correction: Jack actually keeps his left hand on his hip and gestures the whole time with his right. It doesn't change. In one shot they show just a hand but it is still the right hand. He also is gesturing at Roz.
Corrected entry: During the scene where Greg makes the "truth serum speech" you can see that the microphone has no cord, it should have a normal XLR or wireless interface cord in it. But it has nothing. So why can everyone hear him, if the mic isn't plugged in?
Correction: Actually, there are now many wireless mics that don't have the 'traditional' wireless short interface cord sticking out. Here is an example of a style that is closer to the one shown in that scene: http://www.shure.com/wireless/t/t2.asp.
Corrected entry: When the "Wall of Gaylord" is revealed and everyone heads out to the the lagoon, Greg is left standing and looking at the shrine. On one of the awards his name is noted as "Gaylorck Focker" instead of "Gaylord".
Correction: This would be completely in keeping with his character to have received an award with his name spelled incorrectly.
Corrected entry: In the scene in which a big deal is made that the baby's "first word" is an obscenity. This isn't his first word, though. Much earlier in the movie when the housekeeper, Isabelle, appears during the fondue dinner the baby says "mama" while reaching for her breasts. Everyone around the table is watching the baby as he does this, but all fail to notice that he spoke.
Correction: Actually, the syllables Ma, Aa, Da, Pa, Ca and one or two others are the first a baby learns. As a result, the word mama is not counted as a babies first word, because he or she may not be referring to their mother. Similarly, if the baby had said dada or papa it wouldn't really be their first word. Jack, being a childcare fanatic, would know this. See http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babydevelopment/6573.html and look at 4-6 months.
Corrected entry: After awaking from the truth serum episode, Greg has a note pinned to his shirt showing the "circle of trust" and a dot representing Greg outside of it. When Greg removes the note and looks at it, the dot is significantly closer to the circle.
Correction: No its not, check again it's in the same spot.
Correction: The syringe is full of a clear liquid and Jack has just removed all the air bubbles by squirting a little in the air. This makes it very difficult to know if it's full or not. I saw nothing unusual in this scene.
