Suggested correction: There is no character named "Johnny" in this movie. There are two characters named Jimmie Zara and Donny Dion, but neither are shown graduating.

Corrected entry: When Troy and Gabriella are singing "Right Here, Right Now" at the treehouse, there is one airplane hanging from the ceiling, but in the next shot there are two airplanes hanging up.
Correction: When Troy and Gabriella first stand up, directly behind them we see one model airplane dangling from the ceiling in front of the dartboard and sleeping bags. As the treehouse/camera begins to turn when Troy removes his sweatshirt, we see the second model airplane dangling to the left of the dartboard, right beside the fishing net floats. In the shot looking up as the ceiling opens, we can see the rolled up sleeping bag at the screen's bottom left corner, as the two airplanes are dangling behind Gabriella. There's no sudden appearance of a model airplane.

Corrected entry: In the musical scene during graduation, when Gabriella is introduced there is a shot of her mom in the audience, but if we look at the text sent by Troy to Rocketman it appears that Troy drove all the way, therefore Gabriella's mom should still be in Stanford.
Correction: Yes, Troy drove through the night as the text message stated, and we actually see Mrs. Montez before the show even starts, when the audience is being seated - she is perfectly visible in quite a few shots. Go back to the moment at Stanford U., when Troy helps Gabriella realize that she was the catalyst to some nice changes at East High. Gabriella then decides to go back to Albuquerque and do the show. Though we don't see it onscreen, it is obvious that Gabriella tells her mom that she and Troy are going to drive back to Albuquerque in his truck and they have two days until the show. Knowing Mrs. Montez, she did not want to miss her daughter's last performance so she did one of two things. Either she drove her van, which makes much better time than Troy's clunky, over-heating prone truck or more likely, she simply took a flight back to Albuquerque the day of the performance. It is unnecessary to see everything onscreen.

Corrected entry: In the scene with the prom, Zeke has on his sneakers (red and white), but when the rehearsal is finished, he has dress shoes on.
Correction: Watch the entire scene again. At first, he and the other boys are wearing their regular shoes, then when they come out of their dressing cubicles they are all wearing dress black shoes. The scene continues with the formal dance number, when Zeke wears the pink sash, and he wears informal shoes that are red/white at the sides, but black at the front. There is no error in continuity.

Corrected entry: In the basketball game at the beginning when Rocketman joins the game, he is wearing white pants and a white jacket. He takes the jacket off to reveal the red vest but doesn't take the pants off. In the next shot he is wearing red shorts.
Correction: Jimmie (aka Rocket Man) is wearing athletic pants with breakaway snaps down the sides. When Coach Bolton calls for him, he takes off his white jacket as he walks toward the camera. Next shot, he appears from off-screen at the right just as he pulls his pants off, which he then tosses. Have a closer look, because a row of silver snaps are visible on the pants as he tosses them - the zippered jacket doesn't have snaps.

Corrected entry: When Troy sings his song alone in the darkened gym, there are six retired jerseys hanging on the wall, including his own and Chad's. Schools don't usually retire the jerseys of athletes who are still there.
Correction: Schools may not "usually" do it, but it does not mean a school would never do it. Besides, Troy and Chad have played their final game as Wildcats, so they are no longer active members of the team.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Gabriella is in her room after talking to Troy about her leaving for college early, she looks at a picture of her and Troy from the scene in HSM2 when they sneak a picnic on the golf course right before the get caught by Mr. Fulton. In that scene in HSM2 there was no one there to take that picture of them.
Correction: They were not alone. Sharpay and Ryan were also there, spying on Gabriella and Troy. All it takes is a cell phone camera to capture a pic of the couple. After the group's talent show performance, Ryan, or even Sharpay could have then easily forwarded that photo to Gabriella and Troy as a nice gesture, which they printed up.
