Hot Rod

The film is supposed to take place in Washington state, but a Canadian bus from British Columbia Transit appears in the film.

A Canadian MAXIMUM 30 speed limit sign (their's say MAXIMUM in place of SPEED LIMIT) appears clearly in the scene where Rod does his luge down the hill.

The movie is supposed to take place in Washington state.

During the scene where all four of the Hot Rod team is marching down the street and the large crowd forms behind them, you can clearly see a Canadian RCMP car parked at the building in the immediate background.

About 5-10 seconds later when it cuts back to the same shot, it has disappeared mysteriously.

According to the story, this film takes place in the US state of Washington.

Right before Rod goes down the hill on his wheeled sled, Denise's hands alternate between being in her back pockets and hanging by her sides in different shots.

Rod's dolphin necklace changes position when he is lying down after having been given CPR by Denise.

Near the closing of the movie, when Rod is seen growing a mustache of his own, the facial hair itself changes in length throughout the next few scenes.

When Rod is about to jump the pool, he waves at Denise and you can see a ring on his hand that is not present anywhere else during the movie.

When Rod comes home to find that Frank is sick, Kevin is shown hugging Frank on the couch and his shirt is partly untucked from his pants.

The next shot shows Kevin with his shirt entirely tucked in.

In the scene before Rod attempts to jump the pool, he is talking to Denise and there appears to be a towel next to the ramp.

However, when he gets to the top of the ramp the towel is missing.

After Rod falls down the hill, when he is telling the crew that they are going to raise money to save Frank's life, Dave has a mug which changes from his hands to the table between shots.

During the scene when Rod and Denise first kiss, Rod has his helmet on and it is strapped.

Before they kiss, Rod takes off the helmet and the strap isn't strapped anymore.

While Rod's movie is playing in the auditorium, they show the part when he first jumps the milk truck in the beginning of the movie.

The angle that it shows is the same angle from the beginning.

But Rods half brother was actually filming from the other side.

When Rod introduces the Frank Fund, Denise's back is shown.

She is wearing a top with spaghetti straps.

In the next shot and for the rest of the scene she is wearing a t-shirt.

After the riot Rico is seen carrying a television set, even while running.

In the next scene Rico still has the TV, but when they stop to discuss what happened he isn't carrying it anymore.

When Rod is asking out the cashier, a drink appears between them when they show Rod, and then disappears.

In the scene where Rod is coming from doing his laundry he has on white briefs but immediately after in his brother's room he is seen wearing blue pants.

In the riot scene, as the car is being tipped over, you can see the wire that is pulling it over leading into the ground.

Several times throughout the movie, we can see police cars in the background blocking off the streets used during filming.

Rod attempts to raise $50,000 for his stepfather's heart transplant.

In 2007, when the film was released, the cost of obtaining a donor heart alone would have cost around $90,000.

The total cost of the transplant, including doctor's fees, hospital costs, post-op care, etc.

would be over $650,000.

During Rod's conversation with Denise after he leaps over the trash can and lands in the bushes, Denise is holding her dog on a leash while she speaks with Rod.

She later turns when a far off dog barks and says, "Well I gotta go, I gotta feed Buddy.
