Continuity mistake: When Molly Ringwald is on the phone at the club and gets approached by the girl in orange, throughout the whole conversation the position of the phone receiver in Randy's hand is wildly inconsistent. (00:09:30 - 00:11:00)
Revealing mistake: There are times in the movie when you can tell Bobo's beard is fake such as when Penny's giving him a drink from a 7-11 and it's peeling off near his right ear.
Plot hole: The fact that Buddy placed the knife and note in the steering wheel of Jerry's car is unrealistic. Buddy first met Jerry in the bathroom after school started and Jerry hasn't gone outside of the school building to his car until this point later in the morning... so there's no way that Buddy could have known which car was Jerry's to pull this stunt.
Revealing mistake: When Frank Bauggs is falling from the building, he is a very obvious dummy. His body limps around too much. (00:50:45)
