Goofs

Meatballs

Edit

Continuity

When they are in the K-Mart parking lot picking up the campers, the buses are Chevrolets and GMC makes. When they get to Camp North-Star the buses have changed to Fords and a Dodge.
After Jackie is hurt in the field hockey game she can be seen jumping around with the other CITs at the end of the rally.
During the first event in the Olympiad with the boys swimming with the beach balls. After the ball is shot the North Star swimmer starts to cry and tread water. However when his CIT jumps in to save him you can see the boy standing up and wiping off his eyes. It cuts back to the CIT swimming up to the boy and he is now treading water and crying again.
At the Dance at Camp North Star. As Tripper and Roxanne are dancing, Crockett and Wendy are dancing in the background. They cut to Wheels and Crockett by the door, talking to the red headed toe tapping girl. They cut back to Tripper and Roxanne, Crockett is still in the background dancing.
When Jackie gets injured in the field hockey game, the players that cause the injury are seen kneeing her in her thigh. She is seen grabbing her upper leg/knee. But at the meeting before the marathon, Morty says that their best distance runner broke her ankle.

Factual errors

Wheels' drop-kick, in the Olympiad wrestling scene, is an illegal move in "real" (amateur) wrestling. Also, you don't have to pin the guy for a three-count in amateur wrestling. It only has to be for a full second.
During the Olympiad Softball Game, it is explained to Jody that it is the bottom of the ninth with two outs. However, regulation softball even on the collegiate level is only seven innings.
During the Olympiad softball game, one of the girls on the North Star team, Patti, tells her teammate, Jody, to hit the ball to the Mohawk outfielder with "big boobs" because she can't catch. When the ball is hit to the buxom outfielder, it appears to fall into her shirt on the fly, which would cause the ball to become dead and each runner would be awarded two bases.
You ante in poker, not in blackjack.

Revealing mistakes

When Bill Murray is leading the campers in the chant, "It just doesn't matter", one of the frames showing Phil is reversed. The NIU on the left vest of his jacket switches to the right side and says UIN.
During the K-Mart parking lot sequence, two girls (Patti and Carla) are shown arguing over cigarettes. Near the end of the conversation, Patti starts to say one of her lines before her cue.

Crew or equipment visible

When Candace pulls Crockett on to the motor boat. when he is upside down, you can see the shape of a wireless microphone pack on his back.

Character error

In the soccer scene Phil mistakenly calls Rudy by Tripper's name.
