Character mistake: When Frank proposes to a hypnotised Jane at the ball game, he says he bought the engagement ring 'this morning.' That morning they were still broken up, with Frank suspecting Jane of setting him up to be shot. They didn't reconcile until immediately before the game.

Factual error: At the onset of the baseball game, take a look at the Angel's catcher as Mariner Jay Johnstone steps up to bat. You will see he is wearing just a standard baseball hat under his catcher's helmet. MLB rules requires some form of certified (protective inside and out) plastic helmet for catchers, and thus this would not be allowed. (01:07:35)
Driving instructor: Now, Stephanie, gently extend your arm. Extend your middle finger.
Trivia: The baseball blooper reel shows a ballplayer's head coming off when he crashes into a fence. This scene is a tribute to a quote from San Diego Padres announcer Jerry Coleman: "Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall - and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres."
Question: Why didn't Alan North and Peter Lupus reprise their Police Squad! roles for all three Naked Gun movies?
