Goofs

Joe's copy of Auto Trader disappears between shots when he is at Buffalo Bob's.

When Joe is doing his alligator show, the wiring harness that picks him up when he is in the alligator's mouth is visible.

When the alligator goes to throw Joe, we can see one of the wires just after he lands on the ground.

When Joe is standing on the bridge, cop lassos him with a bungee cord.

As he falls, the single rope appears to become three or four.

Joe's carnival girlfriend pulls her shirt's shoulder strap down twice the same scene without putting them back up.

When Joe kicks over the shelves of clowns, his dad has a beer can in his hand in one shot, but not the others.

When Joe Dirt is standing outside his parent's abandoned house at night there is a porch light on.

The car he bought from the old woman he calls a Road Runner.

Its actually a GTX, a 1967.

Road Runners came out in 1968, and look nothing like a 67 GTX.

When Joe and Robby begin race, Joe's car kicks up rocks and Joe takes off.

View from our angle shows Robby's windshield intact.

Next, from Robby's perspective, windshield damaged in several places.

When Jill is talking to Joe Dirt at the carnival, they show her playing with the chain around her waist.

In another scene, they show a side view of them talking and the chain isn't there any more.

After Brandy's father returns from the hunting trip, he is in the back of a police squad car and opens the door himself.

These doors only open from the outside.

In the scene where young Joe Dirt is left at the Grand Canyon, he is wearing a green cut off shirt.

In the next scene as he is walking away from the Grand Canyon he is wearing a white shirt.

When Joe drives through the security gate, he clearly breaks the crossing arm but the next angle shows it intact.

When Robbie reads the letter Brandi left for him about Joe's parents to Joe, Robbie says "Dear Robbie", but in the shot of the letter it just says "Robbie".

Cafeteria SceneWhen Joe goes to clean up the puke pile in the cafeteria, he clearly flinches before being hit with the first 2 hot dogs; he clearly knew they were coming.

After Joe gets blown away in the balloon, he says that he got blown to North Dakota, but the red dashed line shows him going to South Dakota.

When Buffalo Bob gives Joe an Auto Trader he hands him the red copy of an Auto Trader, which is cars priced $5000 or less.

He then speaks of a car priced at $14,000 which would have not been printed in that version.

When Joe is talking to the man at the car dealership about the old Rambler wagon his parents owned, the man tells him that car came with a "6cyl, automatic with three on the tree" A three on the tree is a manual transmission not an automatic In the beginning of the film, you see the 8 track tape in the player and Joe "turns it up".

The label reads "'Lynyrd Skynyrd' (qv) Second Helping" and "Steroe 8" (with stereo spelled wrong).

In the next scene when he turns the music down at the guard shack, the label is torn up and not legible.

When Joe has his _The Wizard of Oz (1939)_ (qv) ending, Charlene reveals that she is now missing her thumb and middle finger on her left hand.

In a shot in which Brandy unties Joe's bandage, Charlene's left thumb can be seen.

At the end of the movie when Joe is racing Robbie, Charlene says "do you really think that slant 6 can beat this Hemi" Robbies car clearly lists the engine as a 6.

6 on the hood scoop.

6 is a big block V8 not a 6 cylinder.

Towards the end when Joe gets his Hemi back and everyone is getting in, you can clearly see Clem getting into the vehicle twice.

In the beginning we see Joe Dirt pulling into the radio station in the car he picked up before taking Jill out on a date, but we later see that he abandoned that car on his way to Silvertown when Robbie reads him the note.

Joe Dirt maintains his parents car was a 1968 Rambler Wagon made by AMC.

When he arrives at his parents trailer park he sees his parents old car in the driveway but the car shown is a 1959 Rambler Super Wagon by AMC.

I shall not be hypocrite, these movies weren't my field of interest, but somehow Dirty Joe goes beyond of a simple teen comedy, it's fresh and original, it's a fact, thereby it catchs me, a little boy who lost your parents during a tourist travel at Grand Canyon sounds silly, but in your searching for them never stop, when he has an opportunity to telling his odd story broadcasting by a Los Angeles radio draw attention of the whole country, along his journey he meets with colorful and weird characters, the native Indian Kicking Wind, the mobster Clem, the rapist Buffalo Bob and his first love Brandy, many smart gags comes over, some of sexual nature, suggesting that him really was sexually abused by Buffalo Bob, or about being a queer guy, just kidding he really is straight, although rising some nasty comments, otherwise it won't enough funny, as a hard fan of Def Leppard exposes a rock vein, that were suggested in many scenes as AC/DC, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd just named a few, connected with a fine soundtrack with rock oriented helps too much, between many silliness stand out a cutting-edge comedy, for all ages by the way!!

One of my all-time favorites really down to earth stupid ,funny, feel good movie. I love the little jokes and the music!

Joe Dirt is a classic white trash trailer dude, that gets lost at the Grand Canyon when he's a kid. He tells his story of where he is today.

I'm not even joking I have probably seen Joe Dirt 50 or more times and still love it! The soundtrack is so damn good and the lines through out especially by David Spade are so good!

Joe Dirt is the greateeeeeest!!! Joe Dirt is very clearly an awesome and hilarious flick!

I just had to say that, because I just left a comment for the English Patient :D Well I really don't understand why people are so critical of these types of movies. They are not meant to be taken seriously, nor literally.

Simply put, Joe Dirt is the white trash equivalent of Forrest Gump. Joe Dirt is not a sophisticated, Oscar worthy film like Forrest Gump, but it is still an entertaining film.

I just thought that it was amusing reading the reviews all the way from 2001 to the present. This movie received almost entirely negative reviews when it first came out, but now there is nothing but positive reviews.

I'll keep it short and sweet. Good if your looking for laughs.
