Kangaroo Jack

Revealing mistake: Any time that Charlie is kicked by the kangaroo, they show him falling back onto the ground. But, if you look closely, they just used the same shot over and over. The exact same two lines in the dirt are to his left by his head each time.

Revealing mistake: In the last scene, when Louis jumps into the hot tub, he jumps from about 12-15 feet back. Besides the fact that no one of his size should be able to jump that far, he falls into the water nearly vertically. Jumping from that far away should make him fall in at a sharp angle.

Revealing mistake: There is a scene where the main characters are chasing the kangaroo through the outback. In one close-up shot where their vehicle becomes airborne, you can see that the wheels are not spinning.

Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Louis are on the plane to Australia, and Louis gives the candy to Charlie, Charlie's hair is untidy in the back, but when he's eating the candy, his hair is flat.

Charlie Carbone: It's a continent, Louis. He can go very far.

Charlie Carbone: Did you happen to read the chapter on not putting your jacket on a wild animal?

Trivia: Originally, the story was very different. The kangaroo appeared only in one scene, but the crew liked it so much, they changed the whole movie.

Question: Who is the actress playing the flight attendant that listens to the guys in the bathroom with disgust?

Answer: Lara Cox is not the flight attendant. "Cute Girl on Plane" was the 2nd girl to enter the scene and overhear the boys in the bathroom. I was unable to find who played the flight attendant and she may have just been a featured extra. I suspect Lara Cox is a member of S.A.G. and that's how she got a credited role and the other lady is not a member and was just hired as a background actor, which is why she's not credited (most extras are not credited).

Ah, good looking there. ^^ I was going by the best that I could find.

Answer: If I'm able to figure out who the correct person is by the IMDb listings, I think she's credited as Cute Girl On Plane, with the actress playing her being Lara Cox. That's the closest thing I could find in the IMDb listings to a flight attendant, as I don't think customs officer counts.
