“Animal House” Goofs List

• Continuity: The letters on the balcony change from “DXT” to “DTX” and back again while the house is being gutted by the authorities.
• Continuity: Beth’s brooch moves from side to side in the Dexter Lake club.
• Anachronisms: When the Lincoln is driving away from the Dexter Lake Club, the license plates are blue and gold California plates – similar to Otter’s Vette plates that came out in 1970.
• Revealing mistakes: When Bluto falls from the sorority house, you can see the false ground move when he impacts.
• Anachronisms: When Stratton pulls into the motel parking lot, there is a pale yellow Plymouth Volare or Dodge Aspen station wagon parked in the lot. Chrysler didn’t introduce the Aspen/Volare until 1975.
• Continuity: After Katie asks Boon about the previous night’s Toga party, and she tells him she’s busy that night, Otter puts his left hand on Boon’s left shoulder. In the next shot, his right arm’s on Boon’s right shoulder.
• Continuity: In the classroom, during the lecture on Milton, Jennings writes “Satan” on the boards very sloppily. When we next see it, “Satan” is written very neatly and much smaller. The T also changes position.
• Anachronisms: The car that Flounder borrowed from his brother is a 1964 Lincoln Sedan whose body style was not introduced in 1962.
• Continuity: In a long shot of the make-out scene at the football stadium, the field has artificial turf. In close-ups, it’s grass.
• Continuity: While Niedermeyer is belittling Flounder, Boon selects a club and hands the golf bag to Otter. Cuts back to the “you all are worthless and weak…” speech, Boon hands the golf bag to Otter again.
• Anachronisms: During the check out scene at the Food King, there is an old style pushbutton cash register in front of the teen age girl cashier, but from a different angle looking toward Boon, you can clearly see an electronic computerized NCR style cash register which would not be found in a supermarket in 1962, which is the year the movie is set in.
• Crew or equipment visible: As Bluto makes his way down the cafeteria line, the feet of a crew member following him are visible in the angled mirror above the food.
• Anachronisms: Many of the parade watchers wearing late 70’s hairstyles, clothing.
• Continuity: When Pinto arrives at the Delta house and gets a beer, his grip on the mug constantly changes from using the handle or just holding the mug.
• Continuity: When Boon and Otter are looking down on the ROTC group on the field, Boon takes the golf clubs off his shoulder, selects a club, cut to the field, cut back to Boon and Otter, the clubs are back on his shoulder.
• Continuity: When Bluto is on the ladder at the sorority house he first appears at the window on the left. Then (without moving) he appears at the window on the right. Mandy comes into room on the left and then moves to the right Bluto moves (hops) the ladder to the right.
• Continuity: At the parade mayhem, Bluto slides down from the rooftop to the street, tearing up the “Welcome Alumni” banner in the process. In a later scene, the banner is whole again.
• Anachronisms: The movie takes place in 1962, but Astroturf was not invented until 1965.
• Anachronisms: When Katy is walking through the kitchen with her bare behind showing, she passes a refrigerator with a US Bicentennial sticker on the door. The Bicentennial wasn’t until 1976.
• Continuity: When Otter is talking to Mrs. Wormer in the grocery store, the price signs change.
• Revealing mistakes: When the “EAT ME” car hits the bleachers, you can see the rope used to pull them down, pulling the bleachers from behind and dragging them for a short time.
• Continuity: In the parade scene the letter “A” on the SIGMA float is knocked off by a fire hydrant but it reappears in the following segment
• Continuity: When Otter is making out with the coed in the car he removes her bra. As she dives into the neighboring car she is wearing it again.
• Continuity: At the toga party, Bluto already has mustard all over his toga in the shot right before he empties the jar on himself. In the shot just before he dumps the mustard on himself, the toga is clean.
• Crew or equipment visible: When Bluto grabs the sign which tears to get him down to the street to jump in the convertible at the end, the cable holding him up is visible.
• Revealing mistakes: During the riot toward the end when Flounder sneaks up on Neidermeyer to spray him with the bottle of seltzer, Neidermeyer shoots the bottle out of Flounder’s hand. There are people running behind Flounder at the time, directly in the path of the bullet, but no one is wounded.
• Revealing mistakes: When the band is marching down the alley at the end of the film, the “brick wall” that they all run into repeatedly bounces back and forth as it is touched.
• Continuity: When the mayor and Dean Wormer are discussing the costs of the parade, the mayor mentions use of his three Oldsmobiles, but the white convertible that the mayor and Dean Wormer ride up in is a Buick, a 1961 LeSabre or Electra. The second red convertible in the parade is a Cadillac. The first red convertible in the parade might be a 1961 or 1962 Olds Cutlass, but looks more like a 1962 Buick Skylark.
• Factual errors: During the probation hearing the words “Pan Hellenic Disciplinary Council” can be seen written on the chalkboard; Pan Hellenic Council is the organization that governs sororities, not fraternities, which are regulated by Inter Fraternity Council.
• Anachronisms: Stratton’s Vette have what appear to be blue California plates. California did not introduce blue plates till 1970. (Best view is when they enter the first party.)
• Continuity: When Pinto is in bed with the girl, she passes out as she is taking her bra off. As she falls over, the toilet paper in her bra hangs over Pinto’s hands. The next shot when you see Pinto, the paper is in a ball.
• Continuity: When Flounder and Sissy are going in to the toga party, she takes his arm with her bare hand, but when they get to the door, she is wearing gloves
• Errors in geography: During the parade scene, when a police car skids to a stop on a side street, in the background you can clearly see a sign on a building, “Cottage Grove Sentinel”. That’s the name of the newspaper in Cottage Grove, Oregon, where the scene was filmed.
• Continuity: When Bluto chugs the bottle of whiskey, he spills some on his sweater. In the next shot, his sweater is dry.
• Revealing mistakes: When Carmine gives his speech at the Homecoming Parade, a man sitting near him is mouthing the words with him.
• Boom mic visible: When Niedermyer is yelling at Flounder, the boom mic is reflected in his helmet.
• Anachronisms: In the homecoming parade there is a float showing President Kennedy and the word “Camelot”. The use of this word dates from an interview Jackie Kennedy gave Theodore H. White days after Kennedy’s assassination in which she revealed that the President listened to the music from the Broadway musical “Camelot” before he went to sleep. The movie occurs before his death and uses a word not associated with the president at that time.
• Revealing mistakes: When the exam papers being copied by the secretary, the copies are shown being cranked out. The header says “PSYCHOLOGY 101″, yet the questions are clearly for a history exam.
• Anachronisms: In the parade sequence near the end of the movie, there is a mid-’70s model Chevrolet pickup truck in the background.
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Otis begins to sing the song “Shout”, they zoom in on the big drum in the drum set which is red with gold letters. During the song the drum set center is now white with green letters.
• Miscellaneous: In the food fight scene, all of the ROTC soldiers and Greg Marmalard fall on Neidermeyer when they are chasing Bluto. You clearly see Marmalard get up off of him and continue the chase. But, the next scene, you see the soldiers and Marmalard just getting up off of Neidermeyer.
• Factual errors: When Larry and Kent are accepted to Delta House, they are awoken from bed with carbon dioxide extinguishers. The type used are aluminum cylinders which were not manufactured in 1962 and the label suggests they are Amerex extinguishers, Amerex was founded in 1971.
• Anachronisms: In the Food King scene where Flounder is catching groceries tossed by Otter, items on the shelf have UPC symbols, which were not used until 1973. Also, there is Low-Calorie Nestea on the shelf (not available in 1962), and the product prices are to
