22 corrected entries
Directed by: Dennie Gordon
Starring: Adam Beach, Brittany Daniel, Christopher Walken, David Spade, Dennis Miller, Fred Ward, Jaime Pressly, Kid Rock
Corrected entry: When Joe calls Brandi to tell her that he is returning, the phone rings and he is leaving the message in real time. You can see the number of messages on the answering machine change from 00 to 01 as he leaves the message. However, Robbie manages to delete the message before Joe is able to finish it.
Corrected entry: At the first part of the movie when driving the yellow Dodge through the security gate, the wing of the car breaks and also does the gate. The next scene you see the guard pampering the gate like it had never been touched.
Correction: Though it may look like the gate breaks, it actually just bends, without actually breaking.
Continuity mistake: In the scene just after Joe finds his parents, when they are sitting in their trailer talking, his parents have a stuffed clown between them. Just before Joe asks them if there ever was a time when they'd be staring at the moon, the clown is slumped forward with its face not visible. In the next shot, when his mom starts her sales pitch about having clowns for sale, the clown is now standing upright between them.
Joe Dirt: So, you're gonna tell me, that you don't have no black cats, no Roman candles, or screamin' mimis?
Kicking Wing: No.
Joe Dirt: Oh come on man. You don't got no lady fingers, buzz bottles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zip-a-dee-do-dahs, crap flappers?
Kicking Wing: No, I don't.
Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, owning a firework stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honker lighters, huskers dus, husker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy dazers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whisking kitty chaser?
Trivia: When Joe Dirt finds out where he lives in Louisiana, there is a guy (Framer Fran) that speaks very strangely. He is played by Blake Clarke who played the same farmer character in The Waterboy.

Correction: I had the same thought originally. However, the shot of Robby erasing the message could have been in the future. He could have been playing the messages back later and walked over to the answering machine and deleted the message, since it was fully recorded already but still delete-able.
