Goofs

In the game between the Average Joe's and the Skillz that Killz, the film goes to the foot shot when everyone reaches for the balls. In the next frame, the players playing against Joe's that are coming up with the balls are not Skillz that Killz, but the Lumberjacks, who were already defeated in a previous round.

When Peter picks up Kate for their date on the porch, White tries to make a move on her and she smashes his face on the wall. White's make-up was left behind, but the next shot it's gone.

When White Goodman slides the contract on the table, he slides it right beside the suitcase of money, but the suitcase disappears in the next shot.

In the match against the Lumberjacks, when the referee asks if Average Joe's are ready, Owen is lined up with his team mates touching the back wall as if he were about to take part in the match. Not only would this mean that Average Joes had 7 players on court, but in subsequent shots of the match taking place, you can clearly see Owen on the sidelines wearing a tracksuit top, having not taken part in the game.

During the meeting where the members of Average Joe's stumble upon the idea of entering the tournament, Gordon can be seen to take OSQ magazine out of his bag twice without ever putting it back in.

Kate opens Peter's hotel room even though those doors are designed to lock once they've been closed. The only way she could have gotten in was if she had a key.

White presents Pete with a briefcase containing what appears to be only one or two straps of bills, and says that it is $100,000. However, a single 1/2-in thick strap of $100 bills (the largest denomination of US currency in use) contains only $10,000. $100,000 in $100 bills would be ten straps, approximately five inches high if they were all stacked together.

La Fleur wins five million on betting at 50 to 1. He claims that he would buy a controlling stake in Globo Gym but the buyout would trigger several problems. One would be that the value of the stock would increase in value as the market saw the buyout. He would have a difficult time trying to get enough holders to sell. Also, there would be a board of directors which would have to be considered for such an action to be approved.

In the black-and-white film, the narrator explains that dodgeball was invented by the Chinese in the 15th century. In fact the game appears to have originated in Africa -- with rocks as the thrown objects, some time (not precisely known) over two hundred years ago.

In the game where Globo Gym is playing the Japanese team the Japanese player who turn the flip and throws the ball has number 4 written on his back. It then pans to White Goodman catching his throw eliminating number 4. The next shot shows one of the Japanese players getting hit by 2 throws - he also has number 4 on his back and should have already been out.

Obvious dummies in the crowd at the beginning of the tournament.

The final tournament is being broadcast by ESPN8. However the sponsor signs at the end of the court clearly say Fox Sports Net.

When Me'Shell shows White the photos of Kate taken by the hidden camera, they're taken from an angle that the camera couldn't possibly have captured.

During Sudden Death Dodgeball, the referee clearly states that both feet must remain in the triangle, however when the camera pans out showing Peter on one knee, his foot is clearly out of the triangle, which would result in him losing the match.

There are several shots of the crowd that show audience members are 'fake clapping' - hands are coming together with not enough force to be audible (to allow for the audio of the main characters). One of the most noticeable examples is following the scene where White hits Kate in the face with the dodge ball.

The Globo Gym ad at the beginning implies the movie takes place in 1993, as White says a photo of him with a caption of 1987 was taken 6 years earlier, however this doesn't line up with other parts of the movie such as Lance Armstrong's Tour De France wins, flip phones, and ESPN 8 stating they had been on the air since 1999. It would make sense that the caption in the photo was incorrect and should have been 1997, which would set the movie in 2003.

During the black & white instructional dodgeball video an American flag is displayed in the video's background. It is a 50-starred flag and the video says copyright 1954. The American flag had 48 stars until 1959.

During the ad for Globo Gym at the beginning of the movie, White Goodman shows a photo of himself from 6 years ago with a caption stating it was taken in 1987, implying that the movie takes place in 1993. In the same ad, a gym user is shown talking on a flip phone which wouldn't have existed in 1993.

At the beginning of the movie, Peter gets a phone message saying he has overdue DVDs. The movie takes place in 1993, but DVDs weren't invented until 1995.

Kate asks White how he found her house but she doesn't ask Peter the same question.

After the casino employees present the treasure chest containing $5,000,000 to Peter LeFleur, they walk away. 2 minutes later when Peter shows the chest to Steve the Pirate, the employees are standing behind it.

When Patches says, "I ain't crazy, and I ain't a guy", his lip movements do not match up to what he is saying.

In the scene where the team requests an overturn of the chancellor's decision for forfeiture, the crowd begins to chant "Let them play!" The audio doesn't match the hand gestures nor their mouth movements.

After the German team loses in the first round, David Hasselhoff goes to their bench and throws down his picture. You can see that there is no glass in the frame when he is holding it but you hear glass break when the frame hits the floor.

When Peter throws cans of beverage to everyone after the impromptu car wash, there are sounds of an empty beverage can. A full beverage can actually sounds dull.

Globo Gym and the Kamikazes play each other in the quarterfinals of the dodgeball tournament. Yet close examination of the tournament bracket reveals that the two teams could not have met in the quarterfinals because of their placements in the bracket. Other teams such as Average Joe's, Skillz That Killz and the Lumberjacks share this inconsistency as well.

Peter is quite clearly broke, not even being able to pay his utilities bill. But despite this, he is able to fund plane tickets, hotel rooms and dinners/drinks for eight people.

We are told that there are only two teams in the Las Vegas Regional tournament: Average Joe's and Girl Scout Troop 417. However, later we see that the Las Vegas Police Department is also in the tournament. If the LVPD didn't play in the Las Vegas Regional Tournament (let alone win it), then how did they get in?

The Average Joe's Gym is filled with salable items, such as the pinball machine in Peter's office (worth at least $1000), some decorative neon signs hanging in the workout area, etc., and the money realized from them could be invested in a high-yield 90-day bond, which if it isn't enough to outright pay off the mortgage, could at least be used to appease the bank. There was no need to enter a dodgeball tournament and hope to win the prize.

Prior to Sudden Death, the referee states that both feet must remain "in the triangle at all times". When Peter kneels and throws the ball, his left foot is outside the triangle.

In the opening scene we see a picture of White with the caption "White Goodman 1987", and he says "That's me, six years and 600 pounds ago," as if it's now 1993. But that can't be: the first line of the commentary from the dodgeball tournament says that ESPN8 ("The Ocho") has been bringing viewers obscure sports "since 1999," and Mona Lisa Smile (2003) and Lance Armstrong's Tour de France wins are mentioned in other scenes.

During the final match, Justin catches a ball, then Kate comes in and immediately catches another ball. This should result in a four-player swing (two in for Average Joes and two out for the Cobras); however, the announcer states that it is a "three-player swing".

When the members of Average Joe's are trying to come up with a way to raise the $50,000 the sign on the wall behinds them reads "If your under 18..." This should be "If YOU'RE under 18..."

The announcer says Las Vegas Police when the sign says LAPD.
