Happy Gilmore (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Happy is about to putt and the tower starts to fall, his caddy is behind him. In the next wide-angle shot, his caddy is in front of him, or at least between Happy and the hole, where before Happy was between him and the hole. A couple of shots later, when Virginia runs up to Happy, the caddy is back to his old position again.

Continuity mistake: When the game officially begins, the players can be seeing moving to their vehicles. When Adam and Laura go to leave, they see Flynch still standing there. They grab him and drag him off. Then we have a scene of the white team leaving, then the green team, then the red team, at which time in the background you can see Adam, Laura and Flynch still standing there like they were before they even started to leave. (00:21:40)

Continuity mistake: When the Yellow team enters the elevator to head for the 27th floor, the buttons inside are shiny and stick out and there is a red button at the top. There also only appears to be two rows of buttons. However, later when Marvin examines the panel in the elevator when they are trapped, there are 4 rows of buttons, which don't stick out, and the red button isn't there. Also, despite the power outage, the button for the 27th floor is brighter than the other buttons. (01:43:30 - 01:44:45)

Continuity mistake: When the Yellow team enters the airport, Adam and Laura head left, while Scott, Flynch and Marvin head right. However, in the very next scene, Adam and Laura are in the gift shop, and Scott is there with them. (01:13:00)

Continuity mistake: The football players invade and trash the Sorority party at night. This scene is followed by day scenes of all the other groups making decisions to enter the game. Then the next scene is night again at the Sorority party, where the place is still trashed and the girls are in their night clothes. Either they didn't clean up the mess for over a day, or the editing here is off. (00:09:00 - 00:16:45)

Continuity mistake: When at the poolside of the Bonaventure Hotel, Adam looks at one of the express elevators ascending. Then he turns and runs for the elevators, followed by the blue team. Miraculously, both elevators are now at the bottom floor. (01:40:55)
