Plot hole: At the wine mixer, where Dale is working as a chef , there is a band playing on stage. The drum kit used is the exact same drum kit (chimes and all) as Dale's, as seen in the house. If a band was hired to play they would have certainly brought their own equipment, and there is no way Dale would have brought his personal kit to the event, for somebody else to play. Dale ends up playing this drum kit anyway, when the band walks off and Brennan sings.
Step Brothers (2008)
2 plot holes
Directed by: Adam McKay
Starring: Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Richard Jenkins, Mary Steenburgen, Adam Scott
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Dale tells Brennan he needs to hear him sing, Brennan has a sword and is swinging it around. After he sings, he gets up and the sword is shown on the floor in its scabbard. They flash to Brennan, then back to Dale and the sword is gone.
Suggested correction: He places it down before sitting on the bed to sing.
Brennan Huff: You're not a doctor. You're a big fat curly headed fuck!
Trivia: When Brennan (played by Will Ferrell) and Dale say, "Say your favourite dinosaur on 3", on the shelf there is a sign that reads 'Hugalo's Pizza', which is the pizza parlor that Will Ferrell worked at in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Question: During the end credits when they are fighting the school kids, and they do the slow motion kick with the doves/pigeons flying, are they paying tribute to John Woo or Charlie's Angels?
Answer: It was John Woo's trademark long before a Charlie's Angels film was made.
