Visible crew/equipment: When Kelly bursts into the classroom and pulls the main character out of the chair there is a shot of them from behind as they leave. There you can see the battery pack on the back of the main characters pants. (00:59:00)
The Girl Next Door (2004)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Luke Greenfield
Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Emile Hirsch, James Remar, Elisha Cuthbert, Nicholas Downs
Revealing mistake: When Eli and Klitz are being chased by Mule, Eli and Klitz go over the railing and land on the table. After that when Mule lands on the table you can see the table break a split second before he lands on it.
Ferrari: Your name is Klitz?
Klitz: With a K.
Trivia: In the director's commentary, Luke Greenfield revealed that during the scene where Emile Hirsch is getting a lap dance in the strip club (the scene might have been removed in the theatrical version) they had to put about 4 pillows between Emile Hirsch and the stripper. This was due to the fact that Emile Hirsch was only 17 when the film was made and under child pornography laws he could not have a naked woman touch his body. (00:42:40)
Question: What was the point of the police officer being in a crash at the beginning of the film. I didn't really see the point of it as it didn't play any part in the storyline.

Answer: While it doesn't have anything to do with the overall plot, the crash shows just how much Matthew is afraid to do the wrong thing and perhaps how he overthinks things. As we know all he would be doing is missing a bit of school by getting in his car and driving from the school. The fact that Matthew is able to imagine an horrific crash of a security guard because of just skipping school shows how worried he is about doing the wrong thing.
