Goofs[]

When Gene is lying on his stomach with his head at the front of Bob and Linda's bed, he kicks a pillow, in the next shot of the same angle the pillow has disappeared but the lines drawn to mark where Gene kicks the pillow are visible.
The position of where the kids are sat at in the cafeteria change in every shot. Tracy Schwartz appears twice in one shot and Ollie appears without Andy in another.
When Tammy runs out of the cafeteria, Tina's "Buttloose" book is colored black, it's pink in all other scenes.
The Cough/Cold section of the drugstore is misspelled Couch/Cold.
Since "Never Ending Gory" is rated R, Tammy, Tina, Jimmy Jr. and Zeke would not have been able to go and see it alone (you must be 17 or older to see an R-rated film without an adult accompanying you). However, it is possible that the kids lied at the ticket booth about which movie they were going to see.
During the scene in Tina's bedroom with the meat thermometer the door is open. In the next shot it is shown as closed. Later Linda asks Gene and Louise to leave the room and they do so through the closed door.
When Gene notices Tina's dinosaur temporary tattoo, he asks if that is a "dinosaur over [tina's] tar pit." This could be a reference to the "La Brea Tar Pits" in Los Angeles. However, it is actually a misconception that there are dinosaur bones fossilized at the research site, since dinosaurs had already been extinct for about 66 million years before the first animal and plants began to be trapped in it.[2]
