Factual error: The basketball rims used in the movie are of the modern basketball era with "breakaway" rims. Such a rim was not used until after 1979, when Darryl Dawkins broke his first backboard in a game against the Kansas City Kings in November 1979.
Semi-Pro (2008)
Directed by: Kent Alterman
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Will Ferrell, Maura Tierney, Andre Benjamin
Continuity mistake: When Jackie Moon is shouting at Vakidis for making the "corn-dog" shot, they are both lying in the paint. However, in the full-court shot, only Jackie is shown standing up. Then the camera cuts again to a close-up shot of Father Pat, and Vakidis is standing there as well.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jackie Moon is in the dumpster crying and eating a pancake, the camera cuts to Monix then back to Jackie, and the pancake changes from golden brown to burned.
Jackie Moon: Fuck you Clarence! Spumoni.
Father Pat the Ref: Corndogs, Jackie! Corndogs, for all these people.
Clarence 'Coffee' Black: Who the fuck is Bambi?
