Other mistake: When Zach is watching Laney at the show, there are two shots where Laney, Mitch and the little people say, "Be silent, be still". In the first, Mitch's legs are far apart and on the ground, and in the second shot his legs are very close together, with no time to move. (00:22:35)
She's All That (1999)
Directed by: Robert Iscove
Starring: Matthew Lillard, Paul Walker, Freddie Prinze Jr., Rachael Leigh Cook
Continuity mistake: When Zach is talking to Mackenzie about Laney (right after it shows Brock farting on 'The Real World'), there are two shots. In the first, Mackenzie puts cream in her hair, and right away there's another shot but it shows her putting her eye makeup on. She couldn't have finished putting the cream in her hair so fast. (00:14:35)
Continuity mistake: In various scenes before Rachael Leigh Cook cuts her hair, it's very obvious she's got hair extensions in - there's a noticeable line where they join. Can't be that her character has them - she'd never bother artificially lengthening her hair.
Trivia: In the scene where Simon (Laney's brother) is rollerblading in the cafeteria, with a pepper grinder, he stops at a table and takes a tray from a pretty girl. If you look closely, that girl is Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Trivia: The real name of the high school seen in this 1999 film is Torrance High. Its campus was also used as the location for the exterior shots of Sunnydale High in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (seasons 1-3), which makes it a clever cameo by Sarah Michelle Gellar (mentioned in the other trivia entry).
Zach Siler: Has anyone see Taylor?
Chandler: What?
Zach Siler: You know, Taylor, my girlfriend.
Dean Sampson: Kinda tall, yells at everyone?
Laney Boggs: Who the hell would nominate me?
Taylor Vaughan: Careful of what? OK, I could win this thing in flourescent lighting, on the first day of my period, cloaked in T.J. Max. Ok? My mother was prom queen in '71, my cousin - prom queen in '82, and my sister would have been prom queen in '94 if it wasn't for that scam on the Conway Bed tour bus, okay? I am a goddamn legacy, all right? And besides, not to be a bitch, but who's gonna beat Taylor Vaughan?
Katie: God, I hope that's not your acceptance speech.
Question: In the scene where Zack visits Laney in her basement while she's painting her mother, what is the song being played in the background? Unless I completely missed it, it cannot be found in the credits nor on a soundtrack. It would be great to know this song.
Question: There are two actress' I can't place and I am sure I have seen them somewhere before. I am not sure of their characters names but one of them i assume is Zach's sister, with the brown hair who goes to Ashley's as she has a cute brother and the other one is the blonde girl who was one of the girls who told Laney that it'd be better for her art if she committed suicide. Can anyone tell me their names and what else they have been in?
Question: Sarah Michelle Gellar's cameo appearance in the cafeteria seems pretty random. Was she intended to have any more scenes, that were perhaps deleted from the final cut of the movie?
Answer: The appearance was a cameo only. It was not that random though, as the scene was shot at a location also used for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Sarah Michelle Gellar's husband appears in the movie.

Answer: Zach's sister is Anna Paquin. She's been in tons of stuff like Almost Famous and she's the kid in The Piano, but she's mostly known as Rogue in the X-Men movies. The 'other one' is Clea DuVall who's been in 21 Grams and Girl, Interrupted. She was also the girl who disappears in a first season episode of Buffy. Stick the names into the IMDB to find out more.
