Continuity mistake: In the scene where Veronica comes to Billy's house, tosses him in the pool and starts beating him up, watch the people on the side of the pool. First, the chubby guy and Frank are sitting in lounge chairs and you see a third person's legs on one of the chairs. Then the next time they cut to them, the third set of legs is gone, and Frank is lying on the chair where the legs were. When they cut back again, Frank is back in the first chair and there is no third pair of legs.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Almost nothing in the entry is true. Jack (the "chubby guy") is never in a lawn chair, he's on the ground. Frank isn't sitting on the lawn chair, he's lying on it. The "third person" is passed out on the ground, his legs aren't on a chair. And the passed out guy remains in the same position, just sometimes he's off camera due to the close shots of Frank and Jack. Frank stays lying on the same chair he was always on.

Revealing mistake: When the car is falling off the cliff you can clearly see that there is 1 person in the car, it's not packed with the whole family like before.

Suggested correction: There's not actually any people in the car when it goes off the cliff. But the car is packed with multiple dummies to simulate the entire family.

Billy Madison (1995)
Corrected entry: Billy Gets a Valentine from the headteacher. It is a card which we see him open to read what's inside, but when they show up the writing in the inside it is clearly a single piece of paper without a front.
Correction: He just turns it over, he doesn't open it, hence why it looks like one bit of paper.
No, he does open it.
Correction: It was a home made card. The heart shape piece of paper with the writing on it is attached to the heart shaped cover. You can see when he's reading it that it's attached to the cover.

Billy Madison (1995)
Corrected entry: The scene after Veronica Vaughn says, "You're losing your mind, Billy!", when Billy goes to her house, there is a shot of Billy's pool. In that shot the pool is clean. When Ms. Vaughn is beating up Billy in the pool, there are beer cans in the pool. (01:05:23)
Correction: The shot we see is of the fountain, the "pool" part where the beer cans are are not visible in this shot as it is off to the side and blocked by the shrubs. When she's walking towards Billy, the cans are seen in the pool.

Billy Madison (1995)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Billy is drunk, and he goes to Veronica's house, when she closes the door, you can clearly see that she has a wedding ring on her left ring finger. Earlier, when Billy and his friend call her to ask if she has a boyfriend, she says no.
Correction: There's no proof or indication it's a wedding ring, the character could have simply chose to wore a ring there. In real life, the actress who played Veronica (Bridget Wilson) was not married at the time of filming and wasn't married until 2000.
