Continuity mistake: When Mickey mentions Godfather Part II, there are reaction shots on the other students who have to agree on that statement, but their positions are inconsistent between shots (for instance the girl with the blue shirt has both hands joined at first, then at distance, the girls on the background to her right are leaning towards each other at first, then not, etc). (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: Debbie Salt introduces herself to Gale Weathers and asks her a question that Gale does not like, so much that she puts her hand on Joel's camera and points it away, downwards. At the cut though Joel's camera is back up. (00:20:00)
Continuity mistake: When Gale tells Debbie off giving her a nasty 'quote', the sun shines on Laurie Metcalf's sleeve in the angle where she says "Great!" and does not in the ones before and after. She is left standing in dismay, and you can see her in background with the sun casting another entirely different shadow even if she didn't move. (00:20:05)
Continuity mistake: Gale is spearheading the other reporters' walk towards the press conference after she just humiliated Debbie. One of her colleagues asks her what's she doing there and if she thinks the murders are connected. To the right you can see a young redheaded photographer in both the shots when the question takes place, but in the first she's walking slowly and fixing the camera, in the second she cuts in resolutely and perfectly prepared. (00:20:15)
Continuity mistake: Randy brings Sidney's attention towards Gale at the press conference. When Randy says "Starring Gale Weathers", Jerry O'Connell is gripping the shoulder of his backpack, and he isn't in the shots before and after. (00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: The sorority girls that invite Sidney at the party when she is watching the press conference leave turning around in unison. The taller black girl in the background though handwaves in the first shot but in the second, when she is in front, her arm is all the way down. (00:22:00)
Continuity mistake: Mickey says in no uncertain terms what does he think of the sorority girls from Delta Lambda. There's a reaction shot to Hallie's "Hey!" that features just Timothy Olyphant and Jerry O'Connell, and Olyphant pulled the sleeves of his oversized T-shirt up quite a bit because it is 200% baggier at his shoulders. (00:22:10)
Continuity mistake: Sidney says all of a sudden "Oh my God" because, as we then learn, she spotted Dewey. Jerry O'Connell's backpack switches shoulder from right to left. (00:22:15)
Continuity mistake: Sidney and Dewey begin their chat. In the wide shot, you can see that a girl is passing by the gazebo, behind it. She does it again in the next closer angle on the two talking, starting from way back. (00:22:50)
Continuity mistake: When Sidney and Dewey are talking under the gazebo, before Dewey walks off, Sidney is leaning against one of the support beams of the gazebo. In the next shot she is standing at the centre of the staircase, away from the beam. (00:23:00)
Continuity mistake: After Sidney slaps Gale on the face, Gale's hair changes its appearance / position between the two reaction shots. (00:24:25)
Continuity mistake: Both when Gale speaks into the microphone saying "Tell us everything that's happened", and when she wags her finger at her motioning her not to punch her, her hand is at heights inconsistent between shots. (00:25:15)
Continuity mistake: After Sidney backhanded Gale, Joel reacts with a weird falsetto (actor improv, according to the DVD commentary) mocking Hallie. He had his left hand off the equipment, but in that reaction shot he's holding it with both. (00:25:35)
Continuity mistake: Gale massages her chin after she's hit, but does it alternatively with her thumb tucked under the chin or outwards, depending on the camera angle. (00:25:45)
Continuity mistake: Cici wrongly assumes his ex is at the phone and says his name; "Ted?" The blue pillow she's leaning her right part of the body agains changes position between shots. (00:29:35)
Continuity mistake: When ACICI apologizes for calling the guy "Ted" and says "I thought you were someone else" she is suddenly touching her left cheek between shots. (00:30:00)
Continuity mistake: On the couch, Cici asks the friendly voice "Who are you calling for?" Notice the way she holds the phone, and how her middle finger is on top of the last two fingers. It's tucked back in the close-up ("What if I say goodbye?"). (00:30:25)
Continuity mistake: When Cici is running away from the killer, when they reach the second floor of the sorority house the distance between them greatly increases between shots. (00:33:10)
Continuity mistake: When Cici is thrown from the balcony there is debris from the window all around her (glass & window pane fragments), but if you watch when she is thrown through the window in the first place, it is only a bit of debris went that far away, not nearly as much as it is shown around her. (00:33:10)
Continuity mistake: Cici throws a plant at Ghostface as she's running away from him, but it barely slows him down. They round a corner around the banister and he is chasing her right behind her, only about 2 or 3 feet behind her at most. But then it cuts to another shot and suddenly she's down a hallway and instantly put a lot of distance between herself and Ghostface before he's even entering the hall. (00:34:40)
Answer: It's when Dewey and Randy are talking about the movie Stab. Randy says to him "At least you get played by David Schwimmer, I get the guy who rode the stage coach through one episode of Dr Quinn".
