Revealing mistake: Even though Drillbit's pinkie was supposedly cut off by the sword, you can see it is just bent out of sight.
Drillbit Taylor (2008)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Steven Brill
Starring: Owen Wilson, Josh Peck, Alex Frost, Ian Roberts, Troy Gentile, Nate Hartley
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Wade is at dinner with his family, when his stepdad is talking to him, Wade places his milk down on the table. Then in the next shot it is back in his hand, and then back down again.
Emmit: You're the bitch.
Filkins: Huh?
Emmit: Aaaaah that's right.
Trivia: When the boys are interviewing the prospective bodyguards, Adam Baldwin has a brief credited cameo as one of the bodyguard possibilities who states, "Kids hiring a bodyguard to take care of a bully? Stupidest thing I ever heard!" Particularly amusing since this references Adam's first film My Bodyguard, during which he becomes a fellow student's bodyguard.
Question: Why did the three boys pay Drillbit to protect them from Filkins, and not from Ron also?
Answer: They didn't know Ron's name yet.
