The New Guy

Plot hole: When Diz is called into the Principal's office following the first game, he is questioned about the homecoming, which is scheduled in two weeks. In that two weeks, the football team goes through a whole season, including the state championship. When do they have time for school? (00:52:25)

Plot hole: At the party when Dizzy gives his wallet to a couple of guys so they can see the picture of him and his 'girlfriend' he never gets his wallet back from them. He gets on his motorcycle and leaves. (00:38:05)

Plot hole: When Gil was riding on the bike as it was tied up to the car by rope, leaving the party, his friends slammed on brakes, causing Gil to fly forward over the car onto the windshield. After he said, "I almost got laid", music came on and it appeared through the window they started driving again. If they had driven away, the bike tied up would've been making noises. They showed no interest in the bike still dragging behind them.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: During the football game between Rocky Creek and Highland, when Rocky Creek hikes the ball and pinches it back, he is distracted and doesn't catch it. A player from Highland picks it up and runs for the touchdown. When one highland player is hitting a rocky creek player, in the bottom left corner of the screen, you see the ball mysteriously rolling on the ground. Then the next shot shows the same guy who picked up the ball making a touchdown. Two balls for one football game? (01:10:00)

Eddie Griffin: You know, high school's a lot like prison. Bad food, high fences. The sex you want you ain't gettin', and the sex you getting you don't want.

Questions

Question: Towards the end, just after we find out the Eliza Dushku changed herself a bit too, after she says "no kidding" to Dizzy, what does he say? I can't make it out, and that line's not subtitled on the DVD.

Jon Sandys ★

Chosen answer: He says "I owe you one" in Albanian, like Eliza's character did earlier in the movie.
