Lloyd sat with Diane at Bell Square, but when they show the mall they are actually showing Westlake, not Bell Square.
Diane's hair during the break-up scene in the carIt's over her shoulder, then behind her shoulder, etc.
When Diane is talking to Lloyd after his nose has been broken, blood on his face disappears and reappears between shots.
When Joe arrives at the party with his girlfriend, she says "I'll be in the kitchen, Joe", but her lips say "Bye, baby".
When Lloyd first calls Diane, he gives 555-1342 as his phone number.
But when Diane reads the message taken by her father, the number is 555-2342.
Even though she has the wrong number written down, it still works.
When Lloyd and Diane are walking through the crowd of people at the party, two people are seen arguing.
One of them mentions going to summer school but his mouth is saying something different In the break-up scene in the car the background changes completely.
Before the line "You told your dad?" you can see an intersection and a hillside behind them, then after there is a yellow house and two parked cars.
The key bag at the graduation party alternates in fullness throughout the evening.
When it is handed to Lloyd at the beginning of the night, it appears full, and in subsequent shots (which show Lloyd collecting keys) the bag goes from appearing nearly empty to its eventual (and initial) state of being filled.
When Diane's Dad gives her the ring as a graduation present, Diane slips it on her finger.
Once the shot cuts away and comes back, she is still holding the ring with the ring bag in her hands.
During the graduation speech Diane's hair switches from completely behind her shoulders to completely in front, and partially in front, and again to the back.

"Say Anything" is one of my all time favorite movies. The movie isn't too far fetched and the actors did a wonderful job making these characters seem even more believable and worthy of our sympathy at times.
I expected to really like this movie and I found myself surprisingly disappointed by the end of it. I would have thought there would have been more layers to a script that Cameron Crowe turned out...
This is still one of my and my wife's all time favorite movies. This is one of those rare romance movies that is told from the mans perspective.
I saw this movie when it first came out and seem to remember not being overly impressed with it. When they recently showed it on one of the movie channels, I decided to watch it again, being on a bit of a "nostalgia for the 80s" kick.
In "Say Anything" Cameron Crowe has crafted a one-of-a-kind romantic comedy which avoids at least 90% of the pitfalls one would commonly associate with films within the genre. How does he do it?
I bought this movie after hearing many times about its famous boom box scene, and I do not regret it at all. It's a lovely film with a simple plot and sincere characters.
These kinds of films are usually done in a mediocre or poor fashion. This is director writer Cameron Crowe's first feature film which really shines and transcends the limitations of its genre.
From writer/director Cameron Crowe (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Jerry Maguire), I watched this film simply for being in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, but I wanted to like it too. Basically after their graduation from their Seattle, Washington high school, mediocre student and aspiring kick-boxer Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) tries to start a relationship with Diane Court (Ione Skye).
"Say Anything" is an excellent romantic comedy which manages to rise above its contrivances and moments of puppy love cuteness thanks to some good writing by writer/director Cameron Crowe and two achingly earnest performances by John Cusack and Ione Skye.The film is built around the usual "opposites attract" formula ("It Happened One Night", "Keith", "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "Pretty In Pink", "The Sure Thing", "A Walk To Remember" etc etc) in which a sheltered but beautiful girl falls in love with an underachieving, free-spirited boy, but what's interesting here is the way Crowe uses this template as a springboard to examine the relationship between the female love interest and her own father.
