When Clark finds the "social club" to meet Carmine Sabatini the windows on either side of the door metal security curtains pulled down, yet when Clark leaves there is bright light shining through the windows.

When Carmine Sabatini comes and visits the dorm room, the closet door that Clark closes right before he arrives is seen partially open and completely shut in different shots from different angles.

At the first time Clark talks to Carmine, the Carmine's hands change position repeatedly between shots.

In the large room with Greenwald and Simpson, when Clark is seen from the front, there is a big barrel just behind him. But when he is seen from behind, the barrel is away from him.

In Clark's dorm room, there is a poster of Buster Keaton on the wall. In the ending credits, it is identified as "Charlie Chaplin."

The Komodo Dragon is an endangered species, however not nearly as endangered as presented in The Freshman. Its population is stable, and it is in no danger from man as it lives on an uninhabited island. About 3000 are estimated to live in the wild.

The Komodo Dragon used in the film is an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator) and not a Crocodile/Salvadori's Monitor (Varanus Salvadorii) as previously stated.

With lots of hard work, Asian Water Monitors can be taught some tricks/commands along with can become calm around humans and tolerate handling as seen in the film.

Besides being a protected species, Komodo Dragons also posses a very dangerous bite due to bacteria & venom-like compounds their saliva contains. This would make them an extremely difficult animal to work with during the human interaction scenes.

The Komodo dragons are actually Salvadori's monitors.

The 40 or so "gourmets" pay Brando's character $350K per plate for their meal, or $14 million. The money is later seen in $100 bills and partially fills a small leather satchel. Actually $14 million in $100-bill stacks would equal the thickness of 280 reams of paper, or an amount that would probably fill 15-20 of those leather satchels. It would weigh 308 pounds and take up as much space as 62 reams of copy paper.

When Clark takes the Amtrak train from Vermont to New York he arrives in Grand Central Station. Although today these trains arrive at Penn Station, when the movie was filmed they did not.

The car that Victor gets for Clark, and a white limo which is at the Gourmet Club, have the same license plate, VKY 722.

The Italian passport that Vic gives Clark has two errors in it. Under "Nationality," it identifies him as "Italiana," an Italian woman. Also the month of his birth is misspelled "Febraio" when it should be "Febbraio" (February).

The opening scene shows Clark and his stepfather in the Vermont woods encountering a deer hunter who carries a rifle. The vegetation and foliage are thick and green, indicating that it is spring or summer. However, Vermont's rifle season for deer does not begin until mid-November, at which time the trees would be mostly bare.

When Clark takes the tumble down the stairs at Grand Central, he clearly has kneepads on under his trousers.

Toward the beginning of the movie Carmine sits with Vic and Clark drinking coffee. He takes a walnut into his hand and crushes it easily but the sound of the crushing begins before he actually closes his fingers around the walnut.

Toward the beginning of the final Gourmet Club dinner Vic and Clark are sitting together talking after ordering drinks. Clark asks Vic what he means by, "ready for Freddie". Vic then Whispers into Clark's ear. When Vic speaks his lips are not moving correctly for the words he whispers.

When they first show the inside of the last Gourmet Club dinner a band is playing on stage. The lead singer in a sombrero is playing the maracas. The way he shakes the maracas does not correspond to the maracas being played in the music.

The stolen Mona Lisa is much too big to be the real one. However, being a con artist, Tina might be lying to Clark.
