Continuity
In the club, when LT is snorting drugs with the tall guy, the Lords of Acid song "Let's Get High" begins to play (at the middle of the song) right before the scene is cut. Then, in the next scene, LT is in a different part of the club and we hear the same song start playing again, but this time it starts from the very beginning.

Factual errors
The Mets/Dodgers playoff series the movie is centered around never actually took place. Therefore, the Mets never overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the series. However, it is correct that no team to that point had ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in baseball to win a playoff series. The first time it ever happened was a decade later in 2004, when the Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees.

At one point during game 4 of the baseball series the radio announcer says, "the next two games are at Shea." In no seven game series format are games 5 and 6 played at the same stadium.

Revealing mistakes
When Daryl Strawberry hits home run, we see the scoreboard. The score clearly does not match what the announcer then says it is.

When the Mets win the pennant, we see the Met catcher roll the ball toward the mound and run toward the dugout. This is obviously the end of an inning, but not the end of a game.
