Other mistake: The envelope with the letter for Amanda is suddenly in a very good condition as it ends up in the peanut bowl... even though it has been in the trash, had chewing gum attached to it, been trodden on, had a beer barrel rolled over it, etc....
Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
Directed by: Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont
Starring: Ethan Embry, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Charlie Korsmo, Lauren Ambrose
Continuity mistake: When the two X-philes are getting on top of the poolhouse roof, you can see a microphone angling itself back and forth between characters as they say their lines.
Continuity mistake: When LoveBurger leaves the stage, a raucous teen jumps onstage and blares Paradise City from his boombox. William recognises the song and jumps over to the stage. When he jumps on, he knocks the other guy over. Watch as the other guy falls off the stage, as a microphone on top of the stage falls over and smacks the camera at the top of the screen.
Trivia: This film has a few links to Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV program. The stoned guy with the brownies is Jessie who only appears in the first 2 episodes before getting turned into a vampire and getting killed by Xander. There is a girl who is staring at a banana - this is Amber Benson who played Willow's girlfriend Tara and finally and most obviously Seth Green who plays Kenny went on to play Willow's boyfriend Oz.

Trivia: All four members of the band DuJour from the film "Josie & the Pussycats" appear in this film as well. Kenny, the lead singer and drummer from Loveburger, and the "love machine" foreign exchange student were the teen sensations from J&P.
Stoner Guy: You know who else I like that didn't get much play? Velma from Scooby-Doo. She was cool. She was a hip, hip lady.
Denise: Besides, I heard that song was about his dog.
Preston: It's not about a dog. It's about a woman named Amanda. Who the hell names their dog Amanda?
Denise: My cousin had a dog name Samantha.
Preston: Shut up about the dog, OK?
Kenny Fisher: 'Sup, ladies? Yo Jana, wanna dance?
Jana: I'm allergic.
Kenny Fisher: You're allergic to dancing?
Jana: Yeah.
Question: Why wasn't Amanda's face shown in the flashbacks of her first day at the school?

Answer: The filmakers decided to forego showing Amanda's face early on to give her grand entrance at the party more impact.
