Adam Sandler in You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)

Goofs

You Don't Mess with the Zohan

Edit

Continuity

(at around 31 mins) When Zohan paralyzes the child in the barber chair by pinching his shoulder, the child falls forward with his hands in his lap. Moments later, the comatose child is shown with his hands cushioning his face.
(at around 8 mins) When Zohan is having dinner with his parents, the amount of liquid in his drink bottle changes constantly.
(at around 1h 20 mins) When Salim calls The Phantom to tell him about the Zohan being in US, he dials a very long phone number using a regular wireless telephone, yet he sends a picture using a cell phone.
(at around 47 mins) When Zohan is allowed to shampoo the hair of Mrs. Skitzer, he initially lays her back and visibly moves her long hair into the washing sink. In the very next cut, her hair is outside of the sink again. Then when he pulls the purple cover up over her body, her hair is again back inside the sink.
(at around 31 mins) When Zohan is cutting the little boy's hair, he reaches for the boy's shoulder with his left arm. When the camera angle changes, Zohan's right hand is on the boy's shoulder.

Factual errors

The headband of the Phantom has the word Phantom written on it in Arabic. In the early scenes, the letters are not connected, whereas later on they are. (All Arabic words when written are connected - if not it is just a collection of letters that mean nothing.)
You have to be licensed in New York to bent a beautician or a barber. At no point does Scrappy Coco go to school or get a license.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

(at around 1h 28 mins) Israel plays Lebanon in the hacky sack tournament, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag. There is actually a mix of Palestinian and Lebanese (cedar tree) flags in the crowd, large numbers of Palestinians still live in refugee camps in Lebanon and would support any team playing against Israel.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 13 mins) When Zohan is running after Phantom, Adam Sandler's stunt double is seen running out from the building onto the sea trying to catch the Phantom before going onto the jet ski.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

(at around 1h 14 mins) When you first see Mr. Walbridge in the boardroom with his team, the conference room appears to be as high as the 40th floor, yet you can hear street traffic as if it was at street level. Also, the windows are ceiling to floor and don't open, so there would be no street noise. The boardroom was actually a set built on a sound stage at Sony Culver Studios, any traffic noise was added in post production as a sound effect, mistakenly or otherwise.

Crew or equipment visible

(at around 12 mins) When Zohan is attempting to find Phantom and throws one of his goons off of the banister, you can see the ropes that are attached to him as he falls.

Errors in geography

(at around 14 mins) When Zohan and Phantom are fighting in the water outside of the Lebanon stronghold, Phantom grabs a Piranha out of the water and lets it bite his neck. Not only are Piranha only native to South American rivers, but are also freshwater fish. The water in this scene would have most likely been the Mediterranean Sea, which is saltwater.

Character error

Zohan holds his scissors incorrectly throughout the entire film. His ring finger should be in the tanged hole of the scissor as that is the proper way to use a pair of hair cutting scissors.
