Other mistake: During the scene where the young man gives the headphones to the girl, the placement of the headphones changes several times at different points of view. (00:27:10)
Other mistake: When Dorthy is trying to audition for the Muppet's the man says they are gone and the Muppet's bus pulls up. If you look when the bus is pulling up there is no one in it, even the driver seat is empty. Then a few seconds after the bus stops Kermit and Miss. Piggy come walking out.
Continuity mistake: Just after Tom has finished making love to his wife on the stairs we see him lying there with his left arm across his groin area. When the shot changes, his arm has moved up crossing his chest. (01:06:55)
Visible crew/equipment: Upon landing in the U.S., the scammers exit their jet. As the action proceeds, on the plane's tail can just barely be seen the logo of the Indianapolis Colts football team. (In fact, the plane used for the movie does belong to the Colts.)
Visible crew/equipment: The cameraman is visible in Ben's sun glasses as he is video taping himself at the gas station.
Factual error: In the first scene at the Pentagon, the sergeant tells the other officer that all satellites are being put into geosynchronous orbit to "hide them behind the planet." But objects in geosynchronous orbit don't remain hidden behind the Earth relative to the sun; they orbit once a day, remaining over a particular longitude on earth. Therefore, they would be subjected to the magnetic storms every day, during daylight at that longitude.
Continuity mistake: When Charles answers his cell phone after being in the bath, the hand holding the phone is wet and covered in bubbles. In the subsequent shots, his hand and arm are completely dry.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Charlie is writing "As Wichita falls, so falls Wichita Falls" on the back of the RV, it shows him only making a couple strokes with his marker, only being able to write a few letters at most. In one of the very next shots, he is hit by the back of the RV as the driver, who is trying to start the engine, accidentally jerks the vehicle backward suddenly. Before he is hit, "As Wichita falls, so falls Wichita Falls" is written out completely. There is no way he would have had time to write all of it.
Continuity mistake: Just before the Breeders Cup the horse is upset and Kurt Russell puts his hands on either side of her face to see what she is "thinking". First his fingers are practically in her eyeball and when the shot changes his hand is back by her jaw. This happens to quickly to be a natural movement.
Revealing mistake: Very obvious stunt double when Dennis Quaid's character falls off the forklift into the kiddie pool at the hardware store.
Continuity mistake: When Luke brings Caroline back to the house after knocking her out, Violet demands to know where Ben is. In this shot her tears are black because of the mascara, but in the next shot all her blackened tears have disappeared.
Factual error: In order to be electrocuted you need to connect a high voltage to a low voltage. Touching a power line does not get you electrocuted unless you make contact with the ground. So electrocuting the locusts by making them fly against a powerline can not work because they are not 'grounded'.
Factual error: There is a three prong electrical outlet visible in the Wershba's bathroom. These were not used at the time the film takes place, they were introduced decades later.
Deliberate mistake: The tiny hot air balloon that Francesca released in the debate room would never be able to support Casanova's weight.
Revealing mistake: After Majid commits suicide, he is breathing.
Revealing mistake: In the shot when Rosario cries in silence with her dead brother at the bed he moves the little finger of his left hand.
Continuity mistake: A penguin uses binoculars rotated at a 90 degree angle, but the shot of the view through them is composed as if they were being used normally (horizontally level).
Continuity mistake: When Alice and Trixie get home after work, in a closeup Trixie is wearing her coat but in a wide shot her coat is suddenly off, and is in her hands.
Continuity mistake: Pauline's hair goes from windswept to normal as Bernice opens the crypt door. (00:12:50)
Continuity mistake: In the basketball game near the start of the movie the scoreboard showed 4.5 seconds to the end of the game. Several seconds go by including a successful basket being made. Then a time out is called. The scoreboard clock should have already run out but still showed 2.5 seconds to go.
