Continuity mistake: While travelling with the novelties salesman, a passing car's occupants yell about the bag of groceries on top of the car. As the camera faces the salesman's car, he puts up the window advertising the fake bag gag. As the camera faces out towards the passing car, the window goes up again. Later, a truck passes by, and the salesman does the same thing, but the message is now in Spanish, without the man stopping to change it. A moment later, the window advertisement (seen from inside) appears to be in English during the same scene.

Joe Manganiello: Pee-wee, we are the party.
Trivia: Paul Reubens revealed that, in addition to old makeup tricks, digital effects were used to de-age him for the film, to make him look more like he did in the previous films. Reubens remarked that when he was told how expensive the de-aging effects were during post-production, he realised it would have actually been significantly cheaper for him to have just gotten extensive plastic surgery to make himself look younger before filming.
