Adam Sandler and John Turturro in Mr. Deeds (2002)

Goofs

Mr. Deeds

Edit
Shared with you
Continuity
In the beginning of the movie when Anderson and Chuck are talking to Deeds inside the town's bar, Anderson's scarf goes from inside his overcoat to outside his overcoat several times. Later on the street while talking with the older ladies, Chuck's scarf is straight, then is twisted in matter of seconds.

Continuity

The movie takes place over a "few days" while Chuck gets the paperwork signed to get Deeds his money. When Chuck and Cecil pick Deeds up from his hometown to take him to New York, the helicopter lands on bright green turf and folks in town are wearing summer clothes. By the time Deeds leaves New York a short time later, it's winter. Ponds are iced over and the snow is thick on the ground, as if it has been winter for some time.
When Deeds first appears and talks with Marty about his being "sick", Marty has a Pepsi cup on a tray which changes into a beer mug during the course of the conversation.
When Crazy Eyes is eating the pizza, the Oreo on the slice continually changes position throughout the scene.
When they visit Pam's house in Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa, the red door changes to blue then back to red.
In the credits, George Wallace is listed as playing the "NAACP administrator", however, his character is actually supposed to be an administrator with the United Negro College Fund.

Factual errors

Preston Blake is airlifted from the top of Mount Everest--around 29,000 feet--above the maximum altitude possible for most helicopters (the air is too thin). No helicopter was able to reach the top of Mount Everest until 2005.
The peak of Everest is not a pointy rock but a curved dome of snow.
The air is so thin atop Everest (and indeed, well below the peak) that running or even moving fast is it of the question, particularly without supplementary oxygen.

Revealing mistakes

With pretty much all footage from "Inside Access", the film is gathered from camera angles not possible with Pam's hidden camera.
When Deeds slides into the table, before he hits it, it has started to break.
Obvious stunt double when Mr. French falls on the table.

Miscellaneous

Emilio would not have grown up with an accent, as his mother died during childbirth. If he had always lived with/worked for Preston Blake since he was born, he wouldn't have developed a Spanish/Latin American accent.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

In the house in Winchestertonfieldville, when Babe says "And this is the dining room, where we would have our meals..." her lips have stopped moving when she adds "...made of food."
When one of the helicopter pilots turns round to face Deeds, his lips move briefly as thought he is talking, but we don't hear him say anything.
Deeds says, "What's this?" when getting out of bed but his mouth doesn't move.

Crew or equipment visible

When Pam throws the pizza dough at Jan, a hand and arm is visible to the left of the screen, dropping the dough on Jan's face.
Reflected in the large mirror while Deeds is enjoying his breakfast with Emilio.

Errors in geography

The Wendy's shown is not in Connecticut, as mentioned by Marty, but is actually in Carmel, New York, about 10 minutes outside of Connecticut.

Plot holes

When Deeds is rescuing the cats, he saves a few before the characters stop in front of a stove and say that there is only one cat left. As the characters are discussing this, a cat is in plain sight atop a stove behind them. They do not save this one, though, since the "last cat" they are talking about is the one on fire under a chair, not this one on the stove.
Deeds gives away the $40 billion to the United Negro College Fund, so there should be no money for Emilio to inherit and then give $1 billion to Deeds.
At the end of the movie, when the shares sale is annulled, Emilio Lopez gives Deeds one billion dollars, but Emilio receives the stock of his father and turns to be the major stockholder in Blake Media, but not cash.

Character error

One of Deeds' greeting cards on the bulletin board in the bar says "Your Special". Surely someone (Hallmark?) would have informed him that it should be "You're Special".
