You Don't Mess With the Zohan Goofs/Mistakes

Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.)
Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.
Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Zohan is cutting hair for the first time, the hair goes in and out of the sink between shots.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Salim calls The Phantom to tell him about the Zohan being in US, he dials a very long phone number using a regular wireless telephone, yet he sends a picture using a cell phone
Movie Goof (continuity error): 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.
Movie Goof (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.
Movie Goof (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.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Zohan is having dinner with his parents, the amount of liquid in his drink bottle changes constantly.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When you first see Mr. Walbridge in the boardroom with his team, the conference room appears to be as high as the 40th floor, yet you can hear street traffic as if it was at street level. Also, the windows are ceiling to floor and don't open, so there would be no street noise.
Movie Goof (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.
Movie Goof (factual errors): Israel plays Lebanon in the hacky sack tournament, yet the Israeli flag is shown with the Palestinian flag.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Zohan leaves Dahlia's salon, the Paul Mitchell book he's holding is rotated 90 degrees between shots from different perspectives.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Zohan and Phantom join together to fight against the fake Arabs in the street, Zohan is wearing jeans and Phantom is wearing red pants. As Phantom is measuring Zohan's right foot, another fake Arab approaches Zohan. He kicks him with his left foot, which is wearing khaki shorts.
