Other mistake: During the musical auditions, the pairs audition doesn't start until halfway through the auditions. But the disturbing dancers were a pair audition and Ryan and Sharpay were the only pairs.
Other mistake: When Sharpay is looking for Gabriella in the girls bathroom, she walks past where Gabriella is hiding behind the wall. It is also shown that there is no other room behind that wall. When Sharpay turns around to walk back out, it is impossible that Gabriella couldn't have been seen by Sharpay as she would have been in direct line with her vision. (00:48:45)
Other mistake: On the clock that shows 12:05 (just before the basketball team and the science club start their coup) the second hand isn't moving.
Answer: When Chad brings up Michael Crawford (the iconic Phantom in musical performances of Phantom of the Opera) he points out that Crawford's picture has never been on cereal (Wheaties) boxes like popular athletes. Chad says that his mom saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway 27 times, and she put Crawford's picture "in" her refrigerator. So then Chad tells Troy that if he plays basketball his picture will end up on a cereal box, but if he sings in musicals his picture will only end up in his mom's (or anyone's) refrigerator. Apparently since Chad's mom was nuts about Michael Crawford, one of her "crazy diet ideas" was to put Crawford's picture in the fridge to help her stick to her diet.
