Factual error: In the scene when Jim goes to band camp to look for Michelle, all the flute players (including Michelle) don't know how to play flute, they aren't moving their fingers to match the speed of the music. (00:26:55)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jim meets Michelle at band camp and he guesses that a bear came, when she is saying "It's like you can read my mind," there is a side shot of her, and you can see that the hair down her right side is one big group followed by a few obvious strands just in front. When the shot changes back to a front view of Michelle there are no extra strands visible. (00:27:40)
Continuity mistake: The scene where Jim runs into the bell when he's at band camp clearly shows him landing well past the bell. When the teacher picks him up he is literally under the bell. (00:28:55)
Continuity mistake: When Jim is about to play the trombone he has it nowhere near his shoulder. Camera cuts and he has already got it up by his shoulder. (00:30:55)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jim makes a fool of himself by trying to play the trombone, he yells into the microphone and turns to Michelle ( who is sitting towards the left of the row of seats). He asks something like, "What should I do?" He then turns around and the camera cuts to a different angle. Now, he is standing in front of a girls that is two seats down from Michelle. (00:32:40)
Continuity mistake: Stifler tries to 'go fishing' for some girls and throws a long bomb to the other guy who falls onto some bikini clad girls having a picnic, as he lands a previously intact Pepsi bottle is suddenly crushed before he even lands on it. (00:34:43)
Other mistake: Stifler, Finch, Oz and Jim all have radios. Stifler says during the lesbian scene that they are getting naked. This should have been heard on Jim's radio (he is under the bed), but it is not. We never see Jim turn his radio off as his hands are in shot. (00:43:20)
Suggested correction: It's a bit of a stretch, but maybe Jim had the wherewithal to turn it off (on or offscreen) simply as his radio is most likely to be overheard by the girls themselves, as he Is under their bed (or it malfunctioned somehow, was damaged in the course of all that scrambling about).
Continuity mistake: In the lesbian scene, one girl pulls her bra down around her waist. She then pulls it back up over her breasts. In the next shot her bra is back down around her waist. In the following shot the bra is over her breasts. (00:52:10)
Continuity mistake: After the lesbian scene, when Stifler brings in a box of porno tapes, he tosses a tape to Jim. At one angle, the tape lands towards Jim's feet. In the next angle, the tape lands on Jim's chest. (00:54:20)
Continuity mistake: At the beach house when Stiffler is passing out the porn, he throws Jim a porno movie that has a different title than the one that gets glued to his hand. (00:54:45 - 01:01:00)
Continuity mistake: At the beach house, Finch is putting up his graduation photos of him, Stifler, and Stifler's mom. The top photo, Stifler's mom is not wearing the graduation cap, the bottom one, she is. Later, after Stifler's brother shows up and Finch is disappointed, he takes the pictures down but they have reversed their order. Stifler's mom with the cap is now on top. (01:00:12 - 01:16:45)
Factual error: Jim looks at a postcard sent to him from Nadia and it's addressed to 7 Beach Way, Grand Harbor, MI 49456. There is no Grand Harbor in Michigan. 49456 is a real ZIP (postal) code for Spring Lake, Michigan. (01:00:40)
Continuity mistake: When Jim is sitting with his Dad in the waiting room, after he glued himself, he is holding the videotape at an angle which is toward him. The woman in the wheelchair could not possibly see the title of the video but, when they show her noticing it, the tape is being held at an angle facing towards her. (01:08:25)
Continuity mistake: When Oz and Heather try to have phone sex for the second time, there is a pimple on her forehead. After her roommates come in, she sits up and it's gone. (01:14:35)
Revealing mistake: When Jim walks in his room to find Nadia, the view from the window is very fake. (01:15:00)
Deliberate mistake: During the "breaking up" scene with Jim and Michelle when they're inside the cabin, her hair is crimpy, but when she walks outside and gets into her car, her hair is straight. This is because Alyson Hannigan filmed this particular scene during a break in the filming of a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode. (01:15:40)
Continuity mistake: When Michelle gets into her car after the splitting up scene she's not wearing her seatbelt then it's cuts to a different angle and she is. (01:20:20)
Visible crew/equipment: Near the end of the film, when the guys are getting into the car, the reflection of the film crew can clearly be seen in the car door. (01:39:10)
Factual error: The movie is supposed to take place in Michigan, but you can often see the southern CA mountains in the background in the beach scenes. There are no mountains in Michigan that look like those.
Factual error: The end credits to the movie, which features the Harvey Danger song "Flagpole Sitta" (1997), incorrectly credits it as "I'm Not Sick But I'm Not Well" by LIT. No such song exists, nor have LIT or any other group ever officially recorded covers of "Flagpole Sitta."
Suggested correction: Please indicate which version you saw this on (and possible screenshot). All the versions I've seen, including IMDB, don't even list this song (or it's incorrect title) in the credits. LIT is only credited for 2 songs; "Last Time Again" and "Place in the Sun" for "American Pie 2." The song "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger does appear in the first "American Pie" film, however the credits I've seen, including IMDB, gives the correct title and correct performed by credit.
