Visible crew/equipment: When Phil is at the championship game you can see a camera filming the team but in the next shot there is no camera.
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Jesse Dylan
Starring: Robert Duvall, Will Ferrell, Josh Hutcherson, Kate Walsh, Mike Ditka
Factual error: Soccer officials are supposed to wear a color that is different than the teams he is officiating. The ref wears a blue shirt when officiating the tigers (who are blue) and then a black shirt when officiating the Gladiators (who are in black). The referee would have worn either his primary yellow for these or red, but never blue or black.
Phil Weston: I am angry. I'm like a large tornado of anger, swirling about.
Question: In the scene where Will Ferrell is talking to his wife he says "They were running around like whirling derbishes, and I don't even know what that is" or something to that effect. What is a derbish and why does it whirl?

Answer: An actual dervish (not derbish) is a member of any of various Muslim ascetic orders, some of which perform whirling dances and vigorous chanting as acts of ecstatic devotion (hence the term "whirling dervish"), though in general 'a whirling dervish' is used for anyone who moves with an unfocused, almost frenzied energy.
