Trivia

After Uncle Rico throws the steak at Napoleon when he's riding his bike, Rico sits back down on the porch and you can see him discreetly spit something into his hand and put it down. According to the DVD commentary, this was the bite of steak he was eating, because Jon Gries, who played Uncle Rico, didn't eat red meat. Between shots he spat out all the many bites of steak his character had to eat. See more...

Mistake Continuity: When Napoleon is waiting while Rico makes a sale, he checks his watch to see how much time he has before the dance. The first time he checks it, the date on the watch indicates Thursday July 17. When he checks it again a few minutes later, it shows Monday July 21.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Napoleon watches the farmer shoot the cow, the film crew and camera are visible in the reflection of the glass door of the passing school bus.

Mistake Continuity: When Napoleon is asking Pedro if he is going to eat his tater tots the position of the tots keep changing between shots.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Napoleon drops off the drawing of Trisha with her mom, he is standing on the porch. He then says 'bye' and runs off of the porch. The next camera shot is from Trisha's mom's perspective of the screen/glass door closing. When the door is closing you can see Napoleon's reflection in the glass (he's standing right there when he should have been far away from there if he had run off the porch as portrayed).

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Kip and Rico go bowling, Kip knocks down all but one pin. In the following shot Rico asks Kip if he has access to a car and two standing pins can be seen over Kip's left shoulder.

Mistake Audio problem: When Napoleon knocks on Trisha's door he knocks four times but you only hear three knocks.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Deb is calling Napoleon from the pay-phone, you can see the reflection of the camera-men in the payphone number-pad, as pointed out in the director commentary section of the DVD.

Mistake Continuity: When Napoleon starts his dance skit near the end of the movie, his t-shirt is tucked into his pants. Shortly into the skit, the shirt comes loose in the back and on one side. A few seconds later, the shirt is once again completely tucked in. This happens several times throughout the scene.

Mistake Continuity: When the bully beats up the nerd with the turtleneck and puts him into a headlock, notice the disabled girl in the red shirt that walks by them. She walks past them twice in about 6 seconds.

Mistake Continuity: Kip puts a green bowl under the wheel of his truck, but the next second it's a blue bowl.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Just after Rex slaps Kip in the face, the actors' white tape marker is visible on the floor.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Napoleon, Grandma, and Kip are all in the kitchen area, in the shot of Grandma leaving, the container is nowhere close to the counter top edge and next to what looks like a phone book. Two shots later, in a close-up of Kip, the same food is now close to the counter top edge with the phone book nowhere to be seen. As the two argue in different shots, the container of food moves back and forth. On top of this, the phone book that was there in the original shot has mysteriously disappeared from every subsequent camera angle.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the shot where Napoleon is walking up to Trisha's front porch, if you look in the door, you can see the reflection of a camera-man standing out by the street.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene toward the end of the movie where Napoleon is standing outside his house yelling at Rico to "get off my property", the front door of his house, behind him, keeps changing from nearly closed to wide open and back between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Napoleon is feeding Tina, he stretches his arm over the fence and there is a rope visible. The rope repeatedly goes from being closer to further away from Napoleon's arm.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Summer and Trisha are handing out "vote for Summer" fliers, in the close up shot of Summer handing them out you can see that one of the girls has on pink nail polish. Moments later, in a shot from a further distance(yet close enough to see nails), neither girl has on any pink nail polish.

Mistake Continuity: When Napoleon asks Deb for a keychain, a piece of paper is seen on the ground to Napoleon's left. Then after Deb gives it to him and runs off, the paper is behind Napoleon.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Napoleon throws an orange at Uncle Rico, the shot goes from the front of the truck to the side of the truck. In the little window, one can see a camera and a cameraman.

Mistake Continuity: Tina is not tied up to the fence, when Napolean first begins feeding her.

Mistake Continuity: When Rico stops at the farmhouse while taking Napoleon to get his prom date, watch the passenger-side outside mirror on the van. While driving, it is positioned at a normal angle to see straight back from the driver's vantage point. When Rico gets out at the farmhouse, the mirror has been turned substantially and now sticks straight out.
