18th Jan 2009
Visible crew/equipment: After arriving at Lava Springs, when Sharpay signs her initials on the last two fliers in the wideshot, the reflection of the camera and crewmember are reflected on the surface of the Star Dazzle trophy, right beside Ryan's (blue shirt) reflection on its right. (00:11:45)
18th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: Having just arrived at Lava Springs, when Sharpay is about to initialize the first flier, Ryan takes another with his left hand as he holds the sunglasses in his right hand. In the close-up, as Sharpay signs her initials Ryan hands her another flier with his right hand, but in the third shot, Ryan still holds his sunglasses in his right hand as he hands his sister a flier with his left hand again. (00:11:40)
14th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: During 'Work It Out', a dark brown pepper mill is lying under the large prep cart which disappears and then reappears. (00:23:30)
14th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: During 'Work It Out', when Troy is finished tapping on the gold cookie tray Gabriella places it on the bottom shelf of the large prep cart. That tray repeatedly goes from right-side up to upside-down in the following shots. (00:23:15)
14th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: During 'Work It Out', Gabriella grabs the large gold cookie tray from the side rolling cart and turns with it (couple of shots after she clinks the glasses), but next shot she grabs that gold tray from the bottom shelf of the large prep cart. What's particularly funny about that second shot is the fact that the gold tray was never on that prep cart's bottom shelf until later on in the scene, after Troy taps on it. (00:23:10)
8th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: During 'Work It Out', when Troy taps on the pans with the spoon the blonde Wildcat cheerleader walks behind him, in front of the stove. Just as another Wildcat (played by Charles Klapow, the choreographer) dances across the screen with a broom, the entire back of the kitchen is in view and she is gone. Then when it cuts to the close-up, the blonde Wildcat is back by the stove. (00:23:00)
8th Jan 2009
Continuity mistake: At Lava Springs, when Fulton hands Sharpay the marker (to autograph the talent show fliers) it is capless, but in the close-up as she signs her initials the pink cap is on the marker, but then it vanishes again. (00:11:35)
25th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: At the end of "Work This Out" the group take to the center of the kitchen floor for the final dance routine. To the left, the long white apron string either hangs down or lies on the table over and over again. (00:23:55)
25th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: After Fulton gives the group their staff assignments in the kitchen, during "Work This Out" there are table order tickets hanging over the grill and fry stations. In some consecutive shots the amount goes from three to one, to three, to one, back to three, etc. (00:22:50)
25th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: After exiting the helicopter, when Mr. Evans is walking towards his family in the shot facing him, his golf club is in his left hand and swung over his left shoulder. Next close-up from behind, his club is in his right hand and over his right shoulder. (00:34:25)
25th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Evans shows up in the helicopter, its blades are still spinning at a fast clip when he exits in the close-up. Problem is, the blades are not creating the distinct whirling shadow (nor is there any wind caused by the blades) on the surface of the red chopper, that we see in the two wideshots. (00:34:10)
25th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: During "All For One" at the pool party, mid-song the six singers split up into two groups of three - two girls and a boy and two boys and a girl; Sharpay, Troy and Chad walking down to their right (viewer's left) and Ryan, Gabriella and Taylor walking down to their left (viewer's right). Next shot, still singing and walking down, the three girls are walking to their left and the three boys are walking to their right. (01:46:20)
23rd Dec 2007
Revealing mistake: After Ryan is given the Star Trophy at the talent show, the classmates gather outside holding lanterns. The line pulling Troy's lantern up is visible, just as the first blue fireworks starburst explodes above it. (01:44:10)
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: As Gabriella and Troy dance out of Ms. Darbus's classroom, there are two books (yearbook and schoolbook) on Taylor's desk (in front of Jason). Next shot, when Ms. Darbus slams schoolbooks onto Jason's desk, there is only one book on Taylor's desk. (00:02:40)
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: Before the school bell rings, Jason asks Ms. Darbus for her favorite summer memory. When everyone turns to look at him in the shot from the front of the class, there is a book under Troy's desk, which is not there in the previous or following shots. (00:01:25)
23rd Dec 2007
Visible crew/equipment: Throughout the film, set equipment such as the boom mic and pole, reflector screen or monitor are visible in the reflections of characters' eyeglasses and sunglasses. Such as when one of the Sharpettes asks, "So what's the theme of the summer's talent show?" in Sharpay's next close-up the boom mic and pole are visible in the reflection of her sunglasses.
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: At the U of A basketball court, in the overhead shot Troy sits down beside a crumpled white towel, which disappears in his close-up as he calls Gabriella's cell. That towel returns in the subsequent overhead shot, when he continues to play basketball. (01:08:40)
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: Having just arrived at Lava Springs, Fulton hands Sharpay the first of the talent show fliers for her to autograph, but in the close-up as she initials it there is more than one under her hand. (00:11:40)
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: When Miss Darbus speaks before the bell rings, there are two lamps, a cushioned chair and a small table, with a skull and teacup atop it, beside her. When the bell rings they all disappear from the platform. But note that when Chad dances with Ms. Darbus, one of the 'vanished' lamp's reflection is visible on the giant clock. (00:01:20)
23rd Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: During Ms. Darbus's class, as the clock ticks away, a backpack hangs on the back of Troy's chair in every shot, until it disappears when the bell rings and the students throw the papers. (00:01:00)
