Other mistake: In the scene when Mark Ratner asks for Stacy's phone number, there is a customer paying for a slice of pizza. Stacy tells the customer to pay $1.10. The customer gives her a dollar and change. She then gives him five cents back. The only way this could be right is if the customer gave her $1.15. If he could do that, why not the exact $1.10?

Suggested correction: In this scene, when Stacy says "$1.10, and you get 5 cents back", the price is actually $1.05 and the customer gives her $1.10 and she gives him his change, which would be 5 cents. When she says "$1.10", she was only confirming the amount the customer gave to her, not how much she wanted from him.
Pause the movie. The total on the register is $1.10 then it shows .05 change. The guy paid $1.15.
Who does that? - who pays an extra nickel just to get the same nickel back? Normally when a person overpays (and this is "normally") the cashier usually says "oops - you gave me too much."
Suggested correction: She types in what the customer gives her and the register gives the change amount back. The total bill was 1.05, not 1.10.
The register show $1.10 (as well as $0.05) before he gives her any money.

Corrected entry: When Mark Ratner and Stacy Hamilton are having dinner, it's supposed to be at night but sunlight can be seen coming through, through the windows. (00:36:35)
Correction: There's no reason to think it's sunlight - it's more likely the restaurant had a well lit porch or patio (like many restaurants do).

Corrected entry: Before the football game, there is a Ridgemont Wolves poster to be run through by the players. When they bust though, there's only 5 players going though it, then a second later they show the entire roster running on the 50 yard line. (00:47:00)
Correction: There is no mistake because the shots aren't meant to be continuous. Also, the players running through the banner are going "north and south" because the field goal post is behind them, while the players on the 50-yard line are running "east to west" and coming from the locker room area, not going through the banner.

Corrected entry: When Charles Jefferson and his little brother show up in the Arcade area of the mall, Spicoli and his little brother first leave toward the camera, at this time there are only 3 arcade games against the wall. After Charles asks Demone about some concert tickets, you see Spicoli and the brother playing a PAC MAN game which has appeared out of nowhere as a fourth game. (00:27:00)
Correction: There is no mistake. These are two different areas that are shown. You can tell because the first wall with the 3 games has a giant "mall arcade" banner on it and Pac-Man is next to Space Invaders and there's no banner.
