2 – Mistake Continuity: In the cafeteria scene Sharpay and her brother are watching from above. Towards the end of the song, after the pause for Gabriela’s line, Sharpay starts to walk toward the stairs. Then the camera pans out, but she and her brother haven’t moved and are still standing in the old spot up above. Back to an instant close-up of her and she’s halfway down the stairs.

3 – Mistake Factual error: When Troy and Gabriella swap cellphones to give each other their number, they take a picture and put in a number. Both Troy and Gabriella put in less than 6 keystrokes, while the US standard for cellphone numbers is 7 digits.

4 – Mistake Audio problem: In “What I’ve Been Looking For”, when Sharpay sings the last verse the first time around (“.I finally found, what I’ve been lookin’ for”), listen closely as Ryan takes away the microphone. Her voice remains the same volume, and does not get any quieter or disappear as Ryan pulls away the microphone. Only when the mike is about 10 inches away does her voice disappear.

5 – Mistake Other: As people file out of Ms. Darbus’s class the day after winter break, the kid with the yellow undershirt and the blue jacket comes out of the classroom twice: once when he says to Troy “She’s crazy.” and another time when the camera switches back to Gabriella as she’s explaining her mom’s transfer.
6 – Continuity: During the song ‘start of something new’ as the shot changes from close up of Troy to a full shot of him, his microphone jumps repeatedly from his hand to the stand and back again. This is in the middle of the song and goes for about 20 seconds. (Timecode available)

7 – Mistake Continuity: When Troy tries to ditch Chad to go to the musical audition, he is wearing a belt (as seen when he is going down the school stairs) and white tennis shoes (as seen when he is almost caught by his dad when he rests against the side of the building). However when he makes it to the audition he is now wearing navy blue tennis shoes and no longer wearing a belt (as seen when he “volunteers” to sing with Gabriella).

8 – Mistake Continuity: When Troy gives Kelsi the “play ball” he is wearing his basketball jersey, but as they start dancing, he is in his warm up gear.

9 – Mistake Other: In the cafeteria scene, when Gabriella slips in the spilt milk, her tray is not only shot up, but tilted as well. However, after the camera cuts back to Gabriella, there is a cup of “sauce” yet it doesn’t slide or tip off the tray.

10 – Mistake Continuity: When Troy is avoiding practice to go to the auditions, he makes several shoe changes, all during the period when he’s supposed to be evading a lot of people. When he’s being chased by Chad, he’s wearing blue Adidas sneakers. In the part where he’s avoiding his father, he’s wearing casual white Asics shoes. When he gets backstage, he’s wearing black Adidas shoes.
