• Continuity: When Zohan is having dinner with his parents, the amount of liquid in his drink bottle changes constantly.
  
  
• Factual errors: Israel plays Lebanon in the hacky sack tournament, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag.
  
  
• Continuity: When Zohan is cutting hair for the first time, the hair goes in and out of the sink between shots.
  
  

• Continuity: When Zohan is cutting the little boy's hair, he reaches for the boy's shoulder with his left arm. When the camera angle changes, Zohan's right hand is on the boy's shoulder.
  
  
• Continuity: When Zohan paralyzes the child in the barber chair by pinching his shoulder, the child falls forward with his hands in his lap. Moments later, the comatose child is shown with his hands cushioning his face.
  
  
• Continuity: When Zohan leaves Dahlia's salon, the Paul Mitchell book he's holding is rotated 90 degrees between shots from different perspectives.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Zohan holds his scissors incorrectly throughout the entire film. His ring finger should be in the tanged hole of the scissor as that is the proper way to use a pair of hair cutting scissors.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Zohan is attempting to find Phantom and throws one of his goons off of the banister, you can see the ropes that are attached to him as he falls.
  
  
• Continuity: When Zohan is allowed to shampoo the hair of Mrs. Skitzer, he initially lays her back and visibly moves her long hair into the washing sink. In the very next cut, her hair is outside of the sink again. Then when he pulls the purple cover up over her body, her hair is again back inside the sink.
  
  
• Errors in geography: When Zohan and Phantom are fighting in the water outside of the Lebanon stronghold, Phantom grabs a Piranha out of the water and lets it bite his neck. Not only are Piranha only native to South American rivers, but are also freshwater fish. The water in this scene would have most likely been the Mediterranean Sea, which is saltwater.
  
  
• Continuity: The headband of the Phantom has the word Phantom written on it in Arabic. In the early scenes, the letters are not connected, whereas later on they are. (All Arabic words when written are connected - if not it is just a collection of letters that mean nothing.)
