Continuity mistake: When Commandant Lassard is talking to the group in his off the first time, there's one shot out the window of a line of jogging cadets led by a person in red and they pass a group of cadets standing. The next shot out the window and the jogging cadets are in the previous position passing the standing cadets. The line is too long and there's not enough time to be a 2nd group or for them to jog around the circle driveway. (00:09:00)
Continuity mistake: When the wimpy police officer and his wife are arguing about her joining the police academy, she backs his police car out of their driveway and a hubcap falls off. Later on, though, it mysteriously reappears in later scenes. (00:12:15 - 00:13:30)
Continuity mistake: When the rich character, Hedges, is driving along the highway, he is in a limo with an oval window behind the door. However, the shot of the inside of the limo has a square window at the back and an angled door window. (00:13:30)

Continuity mistake: When the new recruits come off the bus at the beginning, Mahoney is talking to them through his megaphone. Towards the end of his speech, the camera angle changes and we see Mahoney standing with his arms down beside Hooks, yet we can still hear him speaking through the megaphone. How did he achieve that?
Continuity mistake: When Jones' water ski is about to be run over, he calls "DIVE! DIVE!" and goes underwater. After it's safe, he comes back up, starts out again. When he comes up, water is flooding off his head. The next second, it's dry.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, Tackleberry jumps out of a sand trap and his face and body are covered in sand. When he starts the attack a couple of seconds later, there's much less sand on him.
Continuity mistake: When Hightower is demonstrating dog commanding, one rips the cadet's sleeve off. Hightower tosses it back, and the cadet catches it. The next second, it is suddenly on his arm, his bare shoulder exposed.
