Corrected entry: When Scott and Fran are dancing on the roof of the studio, and Scott swings himself around on the clothesline, you can see the floor almost collapse when he lands. It looks like they covered the roof with panels of wood, even though it should be cement on a buildings roof.

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, Scott and Fran dance the rumba together. The type of rumba they dance is the box rumba, which is counted either slow, quick, quick or 1, hold 2,3,4 and is danced in a box shape. This is type of rumba is only danced competitively in the United States, and the movie is set in Australia. Therefore, Scott and Fran should be dancing international style rumba, which has an entirely different timing (2,3,hold 4,1) and basic movement (a series of rocks forward and back on the feet).

Correction: It was a real roof, and the floor was also real; the only piece of set was the Coca Cola billboard.
