Idle Hands

Revealing mistake: Pnub's (Elden Henson) head in the scene where Anton kills the two cops is obviously animatronic, it's eyes are clear blue and Pnub's eyes are brown.

Revealing mistake: During the scenes at the Halloween dance when The Offspring are playing their two songs (I Wanna Be Sedated, and Beheaded), while some of the vocals and drums may be live, it is easy to tell (especially for a musician) that many of the guitar strokes are being 'mimed', and would not match the actual chords to the song(s) parts.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Tanya gets pulled into the fan Molly gets sprayed with her blood, and a couple of big red blobs land on her face. But when she runs into the art room seconds later, there is no blood at all on her face, not even smears where she might have tried to wipe it off.

Trivia

Trivia: When the hand is killed and Mick complains about how there was "no explosions of hellfire," this is actually an inside joke. The original ending was completely different, and involved a giant portal, explosions, hellfire and tons of effects. However, this ending was dropped because the filmmakers felt it too scary compared to the rest of the movie. A new, more comedic ending was then shot. Mick complaining about the hand's simple death is a reference to the original, more intricate ending.
