Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: At the "Rock of Ages" show, Thor has a lot of "powdered sugar" between his upper lip and nose (like a thick mustache) when he comes out the door and falls to the floor but there is no sign of any "powder" when he raises his head. (01:19:22)

Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: The position of Max's legs/feet change a few times when he is lying on his bed, varying with his dad entering his bedroom and leaving. Max's feet are in the air (perpendicular to the bed) right before his dad comes in but are crossed and flat against the pillow when he enters. When Max's dad rises from sitting on the bed, Max's feet are in the air again but are down on the pillow again when his dad is at the door leaving.

Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: When the cell phone Max is using to steer the drone hits the ground, the grass is mostly brown and dry. When Thor throws and smashes the potted flower/vase on the ground in the same area, the grass is suddenly green. (00:20:47)

Continuity mistake: In addition to the words on the blackboard changing position, the lines separating the letters in "assume" change lengths - not to the middle of the board, then longer past the middle, and then shorter.

Continuity mistake: When Kelly Leak is driving to Texas and the police car is behind the van, Kelly puts a cigarette in his mouth (hands-free). Then the cigarette is in his left hand to the side of the steering wheel, but the cigarette is back in his mouth (hands-free) when the police car pulls alongside the van. (00:17:53)

Good Boys (2019)

Other mistake: In a deleted scene, Hannah wants to spend time with Lily because Lily is leaving, although her destination is not revealed. Lily's brother Soren and her mother apparently aren't going anywhere, so it didn't make sense that Lily would be leaving two weeks into the public school year. Additionally, Hannah and Lily have been best friends and in the same class since eighth grade. Therefore, instead of saying, "Tomorrow I'm skipping school", "Hannah should have said, "Tomorrow WE are skipping school..." It seems like the writers decided to abandon the idea that Lily was going somewhere but the rest of her family wasn't and she was somehow not under the same school schedule as Hannah. However, they forgot to add Lily to the skipping school idea that Hannah was going to do so that they could spend more time together. (It wouldn't make sense for Hannah - but not Lily - to skip school). (00:17:56)

Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: At Thor's party, Max's hair (bangs) changes a few times. His bangs can be combed to the right or some strands are horizontal across his forehead. Sometimes he has a gap in his bangs on the right side and another time there is a gap between his bangs and sideburns. (01:20:13)

Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: Throughout the time the Good Boys are in the school's bathroom, Max's collar is sometimes partly under his jacket / backpack strap and other times it is not. (00:30:37)

Good Boys (2019)

Revealing mistake: A stunt double was used for Lucas flying off his bike and into the side of a delivery truck. The legs are obviously thinner; Lucas isn't that "thin." Even though movie goers could assume that a stunt double would be used in this situation, the director / producers apparently did not even try to make the stunt double pass as Lucas - and all they needed to do was make the stunt double wear bigger pants (Lucas' size) and add padding. (00:36:58)

Plot hole: Even though the Brady Bunch kids won $20,000 (check, not cash) in the "Search for the Stars" contest, they would not have immediate access to it, so would not be able to merely take the oversized representative check - which would be nonlegal tender - to pay for the taxes; they would have to wait until they received an authentic hard copy (real check) and wait until the check "cleared" the bank (was legitimate and payable). Clearing the check could take weeks because the Brady's didn't have at least $20,000 in their checking account to cover what could be a bogus check. (01:19:03)

Boyhood (2014)

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie when Mason is talking to his dad on the phone, the position of his right index finger varies with front or back shots. Front shots show Mason's index finger held almost straight up along/against the side of his cell phone. Rear views show Mason's index finger curved around the side with the fingertip pressing against the middle back of the cell phone. (01:57:48)

Boyhood (2014)

Continuity mistake: As the years pass, Mason dons a different haircut/style, but there is a period of time during which a particular haircut inadvertently varies in length, being shorter, longer, shorter, etc. within the same scene or day (as opposed to showing his hair gradually or naturally growing over several weeks). From the time he was picked up by his father until he is back home and step-dad Bill makes him get an almost-bald haircut, Mason's hair vacillates in length from above to below his shoulders and shorter or longer bangs.

Boyhood (2014)

Continuity mistake: Mason, Randy, and another boy (who is carrying a skateboard in his right hand) are each carrying a can of Coke while walking home from school. When the boy changes the skateboard to his left hand, he no longer has the can of Coke. (00:27:12)

Boyhood (2014)

Continuity mistake: When they are playing Xbox, Mason and Randy are leaning against their chairs and their heads do not reach the top of the back of the chairs. A view from behind the boys show one of their heads (appears to be Mason's) in the open without the chair or its back visible. (00:27:50)

Boyhood (2014)

Continuity mistake: Mason Sr. has a pack of cigarettes in the left pocket of his shirt when looking at Mason Jr's arrowheads but the pocket is flat after he looks at something of Sam's. The cigarettes are back in his pocket when he goes to talk to Olivia. (00:19:54 - 00:20:37)

Good Boys (2019)

Revealing mistake: The use of a green screen (or other color) during most of the cafeteria scene is obvious if you watch the people in the background instead of the main characters and is flawed in a few ways (e.g, varying angles, greater distance, continuity of a person, etc). For example there is a man wearing a blue shirt/tan pants and carrying a briefcase walking down the aisle toward the Good Boys' table. When the man is walking along the wall that is behind the Good Boys, he is further ahead than he is when he is picked up again. Also, this man shows up in front of Max when Max is walking to Soren's table. The man also appears walking along the back wall with a woman. Watching the wall behind Thor and Lucas, it is sometimes at an angle and other times looks more distant. Some of the people would essentially be walking "out of the wall" in order to appear where they do (e.g, the boy with a backpack).

Good Boys (2019)

Stupidity: The Good Boys were going to ride their bikes four miles to the mall but did not even think to bring bike locks with them. Also, even if there were no locks on the bikes when parked in front of the store, this does not necessarily mean that the bikes would not still be there later for the Good Boys to pick up. Thor just assumed that the bikes were lost/stolen forever because he said his family would not be able to have "Cycle Sundays."

Good Boys (2019)

Other mistake: The mirror on the bike that Lucas is riding when fleeing from the girls is near the center of the handlebars and pointed toward his chest at a slightly upward slant. Given how far away Lily is (and at ground level), the mirror can't be capturing her image like it is shown (or at all, for that matter). (00:36:28)

Good Boys (2019)

Continuity mistake: When the Good Boys get to Thor's house after leaving school, there are three bikes lying on the ground near the front steps (to the left), but the bikes are not there when Claude leaves with the "CPR doll." (00:31:24 - 00:35:00)

Good Boys (2019)

Other mistake: The story starts about two weeks into the school year, making it late August or early September. Max's dad got home early, some time before 5:00 PM, and Lucas was at Max's bedroom window a little after the two hours he had been home from the mall, so it was now some time before 7:00 PM - too early in the evening for it to be after dark walking to Soren's house for the "kissing party." Timewise, the foliage also doesn't always sync. Sometimes, all the trees are lush green, other times the trees have partly or already turned orange, and when Max removes the drone from the box after the girls drop the Good Boys off 1.7 miles from home, there are fallen orange leaves on the brick pavement.
