The New Guy

Visible crew/equipment: When Gil (Dizzy) falls off of the roof at the party, a blue mat is visible on the right of the screen. (00:36:40)

Visible crew/equipment: When the bully has cotton wool in his nose by the school bus and is asked how his nose is, you can see the reflection of the camera moving along in the bus windows. Towards the end of that scene, a crew member can be seen behind on the bottom of the hill through one of the bus windows.

Visible crew/equipment: Throughout the film when there are close-ups of football players, in their helmets crew members and stage lights can be seen reflected.

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)
