Jonathan Bennett and Kristin Cavallari in Van Wilder: Freshman Year (2009)

Goofs

Van Wilder: Freshman Year

Edit

Continuity

During the war games, there is a scene where three camouflage clad girls are standing in a lake enticing a group of soldiers to come skinny dipping with them. The girls remove their shirts, one of which is now bare breasted, the other two having on a black and flesh colored bra, respectively. The soldiers are then shown running into the water and frolicking with the girls, who are all shirtless, and are not holding any of their removed clothing. In a following quick cut distant shot, the three girls are all shown once again with their tops back on, without having had any time to pick up their shirts and get redressed.

Factual errors

Lt. Dirk Arnold's haircut is not to army regulation. It is too long on the sides of his head and around his ears.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

The Jeep that Lt. Dirk Arnold is of a model that has not been used by the U.S. Army in over 30 years. The appropriate vehicle for this scene would have been a Humvee. However, this may not be a goof as the college could have used bought or acquired older vehicles to maneuver around or even save money.

Revealing mistakes

In 28th minute of the movie, during the football match in one scene video has been flipped. Numbers on players shirts are mirrored.

Miscellaneous

In 28th minute of the movie, during the football match in one scene video has been flipped. Numbers on players shirts are mirrored.

Anachronisms

Van's phone is an iPhone 3G. However, the film is supposed to be set in 1995 meaning it is impossible for him to own one.
The uniforms worn by the ROTC cadets is the Army Combat Uniform or ACU, which was not introduced until 2005. Since the film is supposed to be set in 1995, the ROTC cadets should be wearing the Battle Dress Uniform or BDU.

Crew or equipment visible

(at around 1 min) The camera crew and equipment are clearly visible in the glasses.
