Goofs for
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) More at IMDbPro »

• Revealing mistakes: In the trailers, when Delaney (Craig Robinson) says the line "Han Solo and Princess Leia ain't never had no sex in Star War," Lester (Jason Mewes) 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.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: 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.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: 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.
  
  
• Errors in geography: 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.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Zack and Miri get their light and water back, then they find out their friends paid for it, Zack says "you paid for our light at 9pm at night?" - yet it is clear by the window in the background that the scene was shot during the daytime.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Errors in geography: 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.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: 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.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (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".
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): 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.
