Revealing mistake: In the dog poo scene, as Brennan is licking the poo, you can see it's a powdered donut.
Revealing mistake: In the scenes in which Brennan and Dale are fighting with the young children in the park, it is clear that in quite a few shots the children have been replaced with doubles.
Revealing mistake: Brennan buries his brother, Dale. When Dale emerges from the ground you can see a blue material burst out as he emerges. (01:06:10)
Continuity mistake: When Dale tells Brennan he needs to hear him sing, Brennan has a sword and is swinging it around. After he sings, he gets up and the sword is shown on the floor in its scabbard. They flash to Brennan, then back to Dale and the sword is gone.
Suggested correction: He places it down before sitting on the bed to sing.
Brennan Huff: You're not a doctor. You're a big fat curly headed fuck!
Trivia: Mary Steenburgen plays Will Ferrell's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only 14 years older than him.
Question: During the end credits when they are fighting the school kids, and they do the slow motion kick with the doves/pigeons flying, are they paying tribute to John Woo or Charlie's Angels?
Answer: It was John Woo's trademark long before a Charlie's Angels film was made.
