Continuity errors happen in every film, because it’s difficult to make sure every little detail is perfect. Superbad is no exception; it had a lot of them. Here are just some of those Superbad trivia gems:

• McLovin’s wound, which resulted from being punched in the liquor store, is seen at first on the side of his face under the stem of his glasses. Later, it appears on the front of his cheek.

• A red chair at the end of the table disappears and reappears while Seth and Evan eat lunch.

• You can see it’s getting dark when Evan and Seth are in the store, because car lights and streetlights come on. But when they come out of the store, the sun is out.

• After Seth gets hit by the guy’s car in the store parking lot, the “open” sign seen behind the car owner changes from off to on from one shot to the next.

• Fogell’s fake I.D. signature is spelled “McLovin” when he shows it to Seth and Evan, but when it’s seen again in the store, it’s spelled “McLoving.”

• Seth has blood on his jeans at the party, but it’s gone when he sees the officers after the party. It then reappears when he gets to the next party.

• The dent on the detergent bottle that Evan holds in his left hand disappears and reappears while he and Seth argue.

• The cops run the red light on James Street twice on their way to the bar.

• The policemen and dispatcher on the intercom say that the cop car number is 98, but the number on the car is actually 96.

If you haven’t done so already, take our Superbad and other Seth Rogen films movie trivia quiz and read our Superbad movie review.

No self-respecting Superbad movie review would be complete without mentioning that the “f” word was used 186 times — and the unrated version of the movie was only 118 minutes long (114 for the rated version). That’s an average of approximately 1.6 uses of the word per minute.

But even if you don’t like to hear the “f” word sprayed around like water out of an open fire hydrant, there’s plenty to like about this movie. And you don’t even have to be in high school. Actually, writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were younger than that when they wrote the movie; they were only 13. That’s probably what made the movie so appealing to me. (Although, I like all Seth Rogen movies.) I sure wouldn’t want to be that young again, but it’s fun to be taken there again for two hours or so.

If I had to reduce the movie to an elevator pitch (a description that can be heard in the time it takes to go on an elevator ride), here’s how it would play out: “Three alcohol-obsessed boys go on a local road trip to find said alcohol and get girls. Hilarity ensues.”

But if I were to describe it for grown-ups who might want to watch the movie, I would add some details you probably wouldn’t expect if you only heard the elevator pitch: There’s a beating heart at the center of Superbad. Main characters Seth, Evan and Fogell (aka McLovin), two of which are named after writers Rogen and Goldberg, alternate between being obnoxious teenagers and semi-enlightened beings. This vacillation elevates the movie above being just an f-bomb-filled, trashy-talkfest. The characters’ going back and forth between doing the right thing and very wrong things makes it a lot like life. Hey, there are a lot of supposed adults out in the world who don’t have these kids’ grasp on the fact that they need to take some responsibility for their behavior.

But don’t let me make the movie seem too high-tone; it’s not. It wasn’t meant to be. It was meant to be just a funny teenage movie with a lot of cussing and plenty of laughs. And in that, it succeeded.

• Explicit drawings of penises used in the film were drawn by David Goldberg, Evan Goldberg’s brother.
