Continuity mistake: This error occurs when Tom finds a deer on the side of the road, slices it open, and wears its skin as a suit. After he is dancing with it on, he gets hit by the big truck. Now, if you look closely, when he gets hit, one of his shoes fall off, but when the camera gets closer to him lying on the ground, he has both shoes on his feet. (00:17:00)

Continuity mistake: When Gord is having a fight with his dad in the restaurant, Gord climbs onto a bar and kicks a glass off of it. Then, in the next scene, the glass is back. (00:44:30)

Continuity mistake: When Tom puts his father to sleep with the tranquilizer, his father has a goatee. When he wakes up and takes off the bandage on his neck he has a full beard from a week of sleep. Tom's father then goes into the bathroom and notices the beard. While he's in the bathroom he feels something move. He leaves the bathroom and walks to the door to find he is in Pakistan. When they show Tom's father, he has a goatee again. And it's a goatee the rest of the movie. (01:14:00)

Other mistake: In the restaurant where Gordie eats dinner with his girlfriend he starts a fight with his father. Then he jumps on one of the bars while playing a fiddle. Soon a bunch of police enters and one of the officers fires her gun into the air. Notice that the gun actually does not fire, there is no movement of the action. (00:44:45)

Continuity mistake: When Jim destroys the half-pipe the level of destruction varies from shot to shot. After he drives through it it looks completely flattened. The next shot shows a 1/4 section of it survived. The following shot shows a different 1/4 section of the ramp survived. The last and parting shot shows the 1/4 section that survived in an earlier shot. (00:48:50)

Continuity mistake: In the scene near the end in Pakistan with the house on the truck, in one shot Gordy jumps down from the truck and runs forward, then he immediately looks up as the rope snaps and the house falls. It then cuts to a wider shot where the house falls on him, and he is standing at the side of the truck near the rear, nowhere near where he was in the previous shot. (01:13:10)

Continuity mistake: When Gord and Betty are in the restaurant, Gord shouts down the phone at 'Bob'.

In the very next shot Gord has food in his hands and is leaning over the table. (00:42:20)

Continuity mistake: The magical moving bottle: After Freddy gets picked up by child services, Gordy is down in the basement working on his drawings. Jim comes down and is drunk.

Audio problem: In the scene where Tom Green is sitting at the keyboard playing "Daddy, Would You Like Some Sausage?", Rip Torn reacts by yanking the strings on the sausage pulleys connected to Tom's fingers. Tom is pulled to his feet, and he yells in pain. Rip then stomps the keyboard. The audio of Tom yelling in pain continues, but the camera angle changes showing him squinting from the smoke and sparks, not yelling in pain. (00:48:05)

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie when Gordy is doing the voices of the drawings, he creases one of the pictures and it lifts up. You can see that the picture is a photocopy of the original, although apparently these drawings are original. This happens several other times in the movie.

Gord Brody: I hope I get a jobby, Freddy. I've got my fingers crossed... crossed... crossed... crossed... cross... ed.
