Deliberate mistake: When young Becca picks up the drawing that young Seth made, in the first shot, as she flips it over to look at it, you can faintly see the pen-marks through the paper, and they are not the same as in the following close-up shot, when we see the actual drawing. In the first shot, they seem to be a grouping of rectangular shapes, whereas in the second shot, it is obviously a large drawing of a penis. They had to use different pictures due to child labor laws that wouldn't permit the young actress from seeing the actual picture, and so a hand-double was used for the close-up shot. (00:17:15)
Superbad (2007)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Greg Mottola
Starring: Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: In the shot just before Jules' friend asks, "Can you get us booze?" Seth's collar is folded inwards. In the shot just afterward, it's unfolded, partially obscuring the strap on his bag.
Jules: You scratch our backs, we'll scratch yours.
Seth: Well Jules, the funny thing about my back is that it's located on my cock.
Trivia: The scene where Seth and Evan are taken to the other party, where crazy events (the woman with her period, the fight, the drugs, etc.) take place is based on a real party that writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg went to when they were teenagers.
