Goofs and Flubs

• In the last meet, Wei Wei Yong is seen holding a silver iPod mini. Before she starts her balance beam routine, the camera shows "her" iPod with a color screen. iPod minis do not have color screens, only monochrome.
• Not only does the iPod mini not have color, but it does not show the "Album Artwork".
• Right after Haley tries to apologize to Tricia, as she walks up the stairs and on to the stage and then to her spot in line, the camera is set far back watching the entire stage, as the girls step forward and raise their hand as their name is called, Haley is just getting into line, when Joanne is stepping forward, but when it does a close-up, Haley is already in line, and the person before Joanne is stepping forward, then Joanne proceeds to step forward.
• When Haley first gets into the tub filled with ice, her sports bra is black. Then they cut to a scene where the other girls were watching the sports news and then they switch back to the tub scene where Haley is getting out of the tub and her sports bra is now grey.
• When Haley and Joanne are arguing, Haley states that Dalmatians are born with spots. This is incorrect as Dalmatians are born white.
• The second time that Haley is taking an ice bath, her sports bra switches from black to grey after the camera cuts to the girls watching TV and then back to Haley.
• When Haley is in the diner you can see the microphone.
• Mountains are shown in several scenes - Neither Houston or Plano has mountains.
• When Haley and Burt are talking about how Chris DeFrank slept with Haley's mom, the shadow of equipment is visible on Burt's shirt.
• When Joanne is talking to Poot outside the gym after they went to the mall, her leotard is a certain pattern. But when she goes inside, the pattern has changed.
• When the coach is telling Haley how proud he is of her, Haley's hair flips from behind her shoulder to the front several times in that scene, from the different camera angles.
• In the last shot of the scene when Haley is running back from the diner, the shadow of the camera can be seen from the street lights.
• During Haley's nighttime run, the shadow of the boom and camera can be seen on the road every time they pass a street light.
• At the second competition (near the end of the film), a line of audio plays twice. The commentator's line about "consistency over flash rules the day" plays as the gymnasts are walking in and again right before Haley does her floor performance.
• During the IG Classic Burt would not be allowed to stand where he was during the vaulting rotation. The judges would have moved him because they would not have been able to see the whole of the vault.
• Near the beginning of Wei Wei's beam routine one of the shots clearly shows the extra-wide beam they used to shoot the dance moves.
• When they're all walking in the woods and Haley is talking to Burt her hair is up on top of her head, then down, then up again.
