Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the trailers, when Delaney ('Craig Robinson (I)' (qv)) says the line "Han Solo and Princess Leia ain't never had no sex in Star War," Lester ('Jason Mewes' (qv)) can be seeing mouthing the line along with him. This may well be an intentional reference to the goof in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) where Harrison Ford can be seen mouthing Carrie Fisher's line. FAIR: Zack and Miri are supposed to live in Monroeville, a suburb of Pittsburgh PA, yet right next to the coffee shop is a Hollywood Tans. Despite claims to the contrary, there are Hollywood Tans all over the US - including in Monroeville, PA. FAIR: The shots of the auditions were actually set in a playhouse that was originally a much longer scene that was meant for the full feature film. Due to time restraints the scene was cut out and just used as an internet trailer. Continuity: When reviewing the movie in Delaney's basement, some footage of Zach and Miri is shown that wasn't filmed by the camcorder. The angle is shot upwards and up close, while the camcorder is filming from above and further back. GEOG: When Zach and Miri are leaving the bar (the West End Cafe) they are shown walking down the street. In Reality, the street and direction they are walking down actually leads to the West End Cafe. Continuity: When Zack and Miri get their name tags from Betz, Elizabeth Banks places her name tag a few inches from the top of the dress. However when it cuts back to them, her name tag is higher up and on an angle. Seth Rogen's name tag also changes position between shots. Continuity: When Zack tries to convince Delaney to be the producer on the escalator in the mall, the alternating close-up shots of Delaney and Zack show that they are already at the top of the escalator by the end of the conversation. However, when they show the shot of Delaney trying to decide before tossing Zack a bundle of money, they are still a few seconds away for the top. GEOG: In the beginning, when Zack and Miri are driving to the mall, Miri pulls over by Ralph's Army Surplus. If driving this direction, you would be driving away from the mall. FAIR: When Zack and Miri are in the coffee shop, Miri talking about she is unwilling to sleep with a stranger. You can see a coffee pot half filled with coffee. In one of the scenes (at the end of this shot) you can see the coffee vigorously shaking, as is its just been put on the coffee stand, but the seconds both previous and after to this it's completely stable. This happens because Zack had been leaning back against the counter and when he pushes off it jars the counter slightly and disturbs the coffee in the pot. Continuity: When Zac and Miri come home from their high school reunion, Zac has a trophy in his hand. There is no reason explained in the DVD cut why he has a trophy. However, in the deleted scenes part of the DVD, there was a scene where Zac and Miri won a trophy for being the people who lived the closest to their high school as opposed to the trophy for people who moved the furthest away from their high school and it is pointed out Zac and Miri live across the street from their high school. CHAR: (At 14.30) There is a scene in Zack and Miri's apartment where they're sitting around their trash can fire. Zack complains that they're living "like a couple of STENO bums" instead of "STERNO bums". CHAR: After excitedly wrapping up the first night of filming, Miri calls Stacy "Stacer" (likely getting her tongue twisted when acknowledging "Stacey, Lester..."). Revealing mistakes: Towards the end when Delaney is showing Zack the footage of him and Miri, we see shots where the camera is pointing up at Zack from the ground. But they only had the one camera at a wide angle, and filmed the scene only one time, so they had no way of getting those shots. Continuity: When Miri and Zach are in the car on their way to work they get out of the car and Miri doesn't close the door, yet in the next shot the door is closed. Fact errors: When we first meet Deacon ('Jeff Anderson (I)' (qv) ) he's playing hockey and hits a player and is sent to the penalty box. In hockey, goalies do not serve their penalty, another player serves it for them. |

[last lines] Zack: Let us fuck. Zack Brown: [suggesting porn titles] Fuckback Mountain! Miriam Linky: [makes a face] Zack Brown: Too soon? Mr. Surya: [to Zack and Delaney] I hate you ebony and ivory motherfuckers! Delaney: What? Han Solo ain't never had no sex with Princess Leia in the Star War! Writer of Titles: [At the end of the titles] Christ, I spend way too much time on the internet. Zack Brown: What's your name? Lester: Lester. Lester the Molester Cockenschtuff. Zack Brown: Wow. That's a great porn name. Lester: I get to pick a porn name? Then I want to be called Pete Jones. [later seen on the DVD cover of "Swallow My Cockuccino" spelt as "Pete Jonze"] Zack Brown: Editor and DP, looks like you got your shit covered. Deacon: Do not say 'shit covered' to me again. Zack Brown: Hello, Miriam. Miriam Linky: Beat it, we're talking. Zack Brown: I just wanted to introduce you to Brandon. Brandon: Salutations. Zack Brown: Bobby's boyfriend. Miriam Linky: Bobby who? Bobby Long: Bobby me. Zack Brown: Brandon, uh, is the star as such adult fare as, what was that one called again? Brandon: "You better shut your mouth or I'm gonna fuck it." Zack Brown: That's right. I'm surprised I forgot that. Miriam Linky: Are you fucking with me? Zack Brown: [amused] No, they're fucking with each other. Zack Brown: Oh you'll be sorry when I'm giving you the best orgasms of your life. Miriam Linky: Yeah right. As if you even know what you're doing down there. Zack Brown: Where's the clitoris again? Is it in your ass? Zack Brown: I'm gonna fuck you with my pecker! Miriam Linky: Dude... that's really dirty. Zack Brown: That's too dirty? Miriam Linky: That offends me. Zack Brown: Penis? Miriam Linky: Fine. Zack Brown: I'm gonna fuck you with my penis! Miriam Linky: What happened to the water? Zack Brown: I guess they musta shut it off... Miriam Linky: Help me get this shit outta my hair! Just use the water outta the toilet! Zack Brown: There's poo in there... Miriam Linky: The back part of the toilet! [after Stacy accidentally shits all over his face] Deacon: Can you believe THIS shit? That chick frosted me like I was a fucking cake! Miriam Linky: Nobody wants to see us fuck, Zack! Zack: EVERYBODY wants to see ANYBODY fuck. I hate Rosie O'Donell, but if somebody said "I got a tape of Rosie O'Donell getting fucked stupid" I'd be like "Why the fuck aren't we watching that right now?" Lester: I even tried to talk her into givin' me the fuckin' Dutch Rudder... shot me down on that, too. Zack Brown: And a Dutch Rudder is...? Lester: You don't know what a Dutch Rudder - alright, you grab your dick, and then you have somebody else work your arm. Here, lemme show you. Grab my arm, I'm grabbing my dick, you're grabbing my arm... now work it. Work it. Work my arm. See that shit? Now work it up and down. See that? It's like somebody else is jerking you off. Zack Brown: I don't mean to alarm you... but I think I just jerked off Lester a little bit. Miriam Linky: The Dutch Rudder? Zack Brown: Yeah! It's ingenious, really. Miriam Linky: If you ask me nicely, I will Dutch Rudder you for the rest of our lives. Zack Brown: Good. I'm getting tired of fuckin' a fleshlight. Miriam Linky: [laughing] You fucked it? Zack Brown: Yeah. Miriam Linky: What'd it feel like? Zack Brown: ...fucking a flashlight. Miriam Linky: So... I guess we should do this. Zack Brown: I think we should probably wait, uh, just until I lose another 20-30 pounds. Miriam Linky: Stop it. You look good. Zack Brown: Thanks. Miriam Linky: So... what about me? How do I look? Zack Brown: I mean, you look beautiful - you always look... so beautiful, so I guess it's not a big deal. But you... you look amazing. Miriam Linky: [grabbing his hand lovingly, then quickly beginning to swing it back and forth] Okay! Let's go make a porno! Miriam Linky: [Seeing that Zack shaved his beard] Your face! I don't think I've seen your face since senior year. Zack Brown: I think I made a mistake. I did it for you, you know, so you wouldn't get road rash during our scene... but I shoulda asked first. I look like a fuckin' Balooga Whale. Zack Brown: What brings you here? Brandon: I came here with somebody who went to school here, Bobby Long. Zack Brown: No shit! That's who my friend's hitting on right now! See, right there, the one dressed like Hannah Montana. Brandon: In L.A. we call that look 'Nickelodeon Chique'. Zack Brown: Wait, L.A.? Los Angeles? That's awesome, man, what do you do out there? Brandon: I'm an actor. Zack Brown: Wow! That's really impressive. Brandon: Thank you. Zack Brown: Fucking movies? Brandon: Fucking movies. Pretty much. Zack Brown: Look at you! Anything I've seen? What movies? Brandon: Oh, all sorts of movies with all-male casts. Zack Brown: All-male casts? Like "Glengarry Glen Ross"? Like that? Brandon: Like "Glen and Gary suck Ross's meaty cock and drop their hairy nuts in his eager mouth." Zack Brown: [stunned]... is that like a sequel? Brandon: Sort of. It's a reimagining. Zack Brown: Oh, like "The Wiz". Brandon: More erotic. And with less women. No women, to be exact. Zack Brown: I apologize in advance if I'm out of line here, but are you in gay porn? Brandon: Guilty as charged. Brandon: [to Bobby] I will be your Sherpa up the mountain of gayness. Zack Brown: I'm a guy. You give me a two popsicle sticks and a rubber band and I'll find a way to fuck it like a filthy MacGyver! Zack Brown: This is just the beginning, guys. If Star Whores works and *it will*, we are set up for sequels galore. The Empire Strikes Ass. Miriam Linky: Return of the Brown Eye. Deacon: The Phantom Man Ass. Delaney: And Revenge of the Shit: The All Anal Final Chapter. [awkward silence] Zack Brown: ...okay. Delaney: Revenge of the Shit, you got it? Miriam Linky: No, yeah we got it. Stacey: Ew. Delaney: [under his breath] Fuck you, mothafuckas. Drunk Customer: [is waiting for his coffee, and notices Stacey's breasts] Oh. Hey. Stacey: [awkwardly] Hey. [Zack and Delaney are having a conversation] Customer: Hi, can I have a coffee? Black? Delaney: Can't you see we talking, White? Zack Brown: How come you get to be all Buck Rogers, having sex in the 25th century with Twiki and Dr. Theopolis, and I'm stuck to a bottle of Jergen's in the batroom? Miriam Linky: Holy Bejeesus, tell me you don't use my Jergen's to whack it. Zack Brown: No, you know what I do? I light a bunch of candles, and I sprawl out on my sheets, and I listen to Sting. No, I'm a guy. You give me two Popsicle sticks and a rubber band and I'll find a way to fuck it, like a filthy MacGuyver! Zack Brown: I've known her since the first grade, you don't fuck someone you met in the first grade. Delaney: Excuse me, I met my wife in kindergarten, we got married senior year, and she's been the queen of my world ever since. Zack Brown: But what if you could do it all over again? Delaney: I would jerk off and live by myself. That woman is the bane of my existence. Delaney: Her name Bubbles. Zack: We are gonna launch arcing ropes of jism all over this motherfucker! Peace! Brandon: I thought you recognized me from my work, but you're not my demographic so I'm not offended. Zack: Well, who's your demographic? Brandon: Do you like pussy? Zack: Yeah. Brandon: Then not you. Brandon: I can't keep my hands off him, I'm so sorry. Bobby Long: You've had one too many cosmos. Brandon: You know although he does most of the eating in the sack if you know what I mean. In the sack and of the sack. Zack Brown: [suggesting a porn title] Star Sex II: The Wrath of Cunt. Miriam Linky: We never made Star Sex I. Zack Brown: I guess we can skip Star Sex III: The Search for Cock, then. [Zack has a new idea] Zack Brown: Cocunt! Miriam Linky: What's that? Zack Brown: It's like Cocoon. With a cunt! [Miri looks at him and laughs uncomfortably] Roxanne: Don't ever get married. It sucks. You stop appreciating each other and you run out of shit to talk about after the first year. Miriam Linky: [after hitting on Bobby and meeting his boyfriend] You're gay? Bobby Long: Yeah. Miriam Linky: [to Brandon] And I'm on the internet wearing... a diaper? Brandon: Who knew you'd come to Pittsburgh and meet a celebrity? Ha ha! Miriam Linky: [to Zack] I'm gonna binge-drink now until I pass out. Zack Brown: Okay. She'll be fine. So you guys suck each other's cocks, huh? Brandon: Oh, like crazy. Zack Brown: [imagining Miri in a porn film] Oh, my God, yeah. Miriam Linky: What? You got an idea? Zack Brown: We could make a porno. Miriam Linky: Not the idea I was lookin' for. Zack Brown: What? No, that is a fuckin' awesome idea. Are you shitting me? That guy, Brandon St. Randy, Bobby Long's boyfriend, he said he makes a hundred grand a year because he shoots and distributes his own porno flicks. Miriam Linky: If it's so easy, how come everybody doesn't do it? Zack Brown: Because other people have options - and dignity - which we do not have, which puts us in an amazingly advantageous position! Zack Brown: Have you seen that Joe Francis guy who made Girls Gone Wild? That guy's the biggest fucking idiot piece of shit in the world and he has a jet and a fucking island! Zack Brown: If you heard that someone we graduated with was in a fucking porno movie, you'd watch it, right? I'd watch that guy Brandon suck a cock. I just met him! Zack Brown: Dude, with your cut of the profits, you're gonna get two flat screens. OK? You'll have one in your living room. You'll have one in your bathroom! Delaney: One in the bathroom? You know, it's always been my dream to watch shit while I shit. Zack Brown: Everyone with an ass loves to watch shit while they shit! I'm gonna make that happen for you, man. Brandon: [fighting with Bobby] The reason... the reason you haven't taken me home to your mother is... your mother with her makeup and her drinking, she's... she's in the closet too! Zack: They fight just like *real* people! Lester: [acting in the porno] I'd like a double espresso so I can stay up all night... 'cos I'm in the mood to fuck! [after the first night's shooting] Zack: Hey, how'd it look? Deacon: How do you think it looked? It looked like shit going into other shit - in focus. Zack: [to Miri] What an artist. That was Kurosawa's motto I think, "Shit going into other shit". Deacon: I'm gonna hatefuck the shit out of you, ref! Zack: Dude. Deacon: It's cool. He's my cousin. Zack Brown: [to Brandon and Bobby] So, you guys suck each other's cocks, huh? Brandon: Oh, like crazy. Bobby Long: This is exactly why you haven't met my mother! Because you don't know how to ease people in to this situation, you just force your way in every time! Brandon: Baby, I thought maybe for one second in this God-forsaken town I could be myself! I'm so sorry, you're right, I should just butch up and pretend that I don't love it when you shove your dick in my mouth! Zack Brown: [to himself] This is the best night of my life. Brandon: Am I making a spectacle? Because I could make a much bigger scene. I'm sorry, Pittsburg, listen up Monroevers, my name is Brandon St. Randy, and I love Bobby Long! Zack Brown: Fucking A! Brandon: Is that enough for you? Is that enough of a scene? Cause I could start doing a lot worse then that. And the reason that you haven't taken me home to your mother is that your mother, with her makeup and all her drinking, she's in the closet too. Zack Brown: [in awe] They fight just like real people... Brandon: Oh my god... no! Miriam Linky: What? Brandon: Granny Panties? Miriam Linky: Excuse me? Brandon: This is so crazy! I was literally just watching you like right before we got here! This is you, right? [pulls out his iPhone and shows a YouTube clip of Miri in a changing room wearing big underwear. The narrator says "My name's Granny Panties and nobody wants to fuck me! Nothing's whiter then my big gay ass."] Miriam Linky: [Miri gasps in horror] Zack Brown: Where'd you get that? Brandon: Oh, I entered 'gay' and 'ass' and it was the top hit. It's had 200 thousand views in three hours. Honey, you are, like, I'm actually jealous right now cause you're like super famous! Miriam Linky: [to Bobby] You're gay? Bobby Long: [apologetically] Yeah... Miriam Linky: And I'm the internet wearing... a diaper? Brandon: Who knew you'd come to Pittsburg and meet a celebrity? Miriam Linky: I'm gonna binge drink now until I pass out now. Delaney: I love the movies. Zack: Wow, D.P. and editor. You have your shit covered. Deacon: Please don't ever say "shit covered" to me again. Zack: That's what porn is: turning the normal into abnormal, by fucking it! Zack Brown: You don't wanna fuck a stranger in a porn movie for some strange reason. I guess we could fuck. Miriam Linky: Ew Zack Brown: Fuck you. Miriam Linky: No I mean you're an okay enough looking guy and everything. Zack Brown: Holy fuck thank you. You're an alright looking gal how does that feel? Lester: Hey Stacey. You like dogs? Stacey: Yeah. Especially pocket dogs. Lester: Oh. I really liked porking you. It made my dick feel good. Stacey: Me too. Except for the dick part because I don't have one but the good part. Lester: Cool. Well, see ya. Stacey: Bye. Delaney: [to Mr. Surya] You Ben Kingsley looking motherfucker Delaney: Sometimes, we just need someone to show us something we can't see for ourselves. |
