Varsity Blues picture

Other mistake: Multiple mistakes are made at the end of the game against the Wildcats. Before the final touchdown, the Wildcats are shown leading 13-0 with 6:00 minutes left in the game. After the touchdown, the Wildcats are shown leading 20-3 with 3 seconds left in the game. Based on Mox's position in the two shots, no other plays happened, meaning that the time and score in one of the shots is incorrect. The clock also continues to run when the touchdown is scored even though it's supposed to stop.

The Babe picture

Other mistake: Early on, the Babe is seen showing up late at a game in Boston, staggering hung-over to the plate, and hitting a home run. But this was a home game; it would have been the bottom of the first, and if Ruth hadn't been there by game time, some other player would already be playing in his place.

Suggested correction: By the time Babe Ruth played, substitutions were allowed at anytime. Thus, when Ruth showed up late and batted in the bottom of the 1st, he became a substitution for whomever was playing his position during the top of the 1st.

The manager tells the guy who is about to go up to bat to sit down because Babe's here. So Ruth would be pinch-hitting.

Goon picture

Other mistake: During the montage for Ross Rhea, there's a clip on the teleprompter showing Ross fighting multiple members of the other team. In the clip, Ross is shown playing for the St. John's Shamrocks and fighting members of the Québec team, but the score ticker at the top of the screen shows the score "MTL 5 BOS 2", two teams in another league that have nothing to do with the game being played. (01:01:10)

Boogie picture

Other mistake: "Boogie" was a HS student who didn't work and lived with his financially strained (heavily in debt) parents. The Chin family was receiving past-due notices for various bills. The IRS also sent a letter of intent to levy or seize their property if they did not immediately pay $4,513.29. But Boogie had money to buy marijuana, go out to dinner with his girlfriend, go to a gym, and visit a fortune teller - each multiple times. His mother also ate out and saw a fortune teller. With what money? (00:10:20 - 00:28:57)

The Love Guru picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie when Mike Myers starts to play 9 to 5, the title comes on the screen. Beneath it it says: (R) MXVIII Paramount Pictures. It's actually supposed to say MMVIII as the movie was made in the year 2008 and not in year 1018. (00:04:40)

American Underdog picture

Other mistake: After seeing Joe Montana play in Super Bowl XIX, young Kurt said, "I knew I wanted to be that guy." When he goes outside to pass the football, young Kurt has "Warner 13" on the back of his jersey - not Montana's #16 but the #13 that he could not know in advance that he would eventually wear during most of his adult career. (Jersey numbers are not necessarily that available for a player to have his pick). (00:02:02 - 00:02:33)

Suggested correction: This is trivia at best, certainly not a mistake. While it's true he wore #12 in high school, there's no reason he couldn't have liked #13 as a child. And, many key position players do get to pick their number, from the available range, which Kurt certainly did.

Below the Belt picture

Other mistake: When Tommy tries splashing Rosa during their match she hits the ring mat with her chest and stomach yet seconds later she's somehow knocked out. I never saw her head hit after multiple viewings of that scene.
