Other mistake: Jack gets hit in the face by a car trunk but when he wakes up later there's no cuts or bruises on him.
Delirious (1991)
Directed by: Tom Mankiewicz
Starring: John Candy, Raymond Burr, Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms
Factual error: A football game is shown playing on TV at one point. Impossible as the movie is taking place in spring - football games, both college and the NFL, are played in the fall/winter.

Suggested correction: This is during Jack's delirious dream and he wrote it that way to distract Carter who was waiting for the cable repair man. It wasn't something that was meant to be happening in real life.
Continuity mistake: Janet goes back and forth from needing to wear glasses to seeing perfectly fine.

Suggested correction: Janet wasn't real. She was a character in Jack's delirious dream. In Jack's dream, he was saying the things Janet was doing was written by Federman, and sometimes he controlled the scene. Not to mention the fact that some people only need glasses to see certain things and can see without them in other incidents or she was wearing contacts.
Trivia: John Candy and Emma Samms actually did dance together in the party scene.
Trivia: The second movie Mariel Hemingway and Margot Kidder worked together on. The other was Superman 4:The Quest For Peace (1987).
Jack Gable: What are you doing here? I sent you to Cleveland.

Jack Gates: I have to go to... Cleveland? Jesus, I hate Cleveland.
