• Continuity: As Harold and Kumar drive Neil Patrick Harris' car through Alabama, the license plates on the car clearly read "Virginia", but for one scene as they enter Texas, the license plates read "Texas". Then, later they are back to "Virginia".
  
  
• Continuity: When Harold and Kumar are in the car with Neil Patrick Harris, the passenger head rest is on the seat.

Then a few scenes later, the headrest is back on the seat.
  
  
• Continuity: When Harold backs the yellow sports car into the fire hydrant, the hydrant topples over and water gushes everywhere. But in a closeup of the rear of the car a short time later, there is no damage to the car, not even a scratch on the bumper.
  
  

• Continuity: When escaping from the Fox Hole whore house, the window on the car Harold is driving is shot out. In the next scene, the window is intact.

• Continuity: The bandage across Harold's eye moves or disappears throughout the beginning of the movie.

• Factual errors: In the skydiving scene Kumar "swims" towards Harold. In free fall, you can't swim through the air, flailing your arms and legs just destabilizes yourself. To get two people together, all you have to do is face downwards and towards each other.

• Continuity: SPOILER: After the credits, when Neil Patrick Harris is shown to still be alive, his car is still in the driveway of the brothel where he parked it, even though Harold and Kumar had already taken the car and are presumably long gone.
