Continuity mistake: In the scene where Big Momma's gentleman caller comes to the door, Martin Lawrence runs over to the door and stands directly in front of it with both of his hands up gripping his gun.

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, Sherry and Malcolm are talking on the porch. Sherry, has a blanket wrapped around her. On her right shoulder you can see her skin. From an opposite angle when Malcolm's face is shown, her skin isn't visible. (01:28:55)

Continuity mistake: When Big Momma (Martin Lawrence) is in the place where Nolan supposedly teaches them to defend themselves. When Nolan is looking at Gertrude, you can clearly see a young face, with no wrinkles. Then when she is laying down on the floor, there is a very old face. They used a double for the scene in which she is hit. (00:43:20)

Continuity mistake: Given that, the little boy chases fireflies (which don't light up until dusk). It was entirely too bright out for the fireflies to light up. (00:55:50)

Continuity mistake: When Big Momma wakes up to find that his face is peeling off and Shari knocks on the door, Big Momma goes out the window and his whole outfit comes off. He is completely dressed in a T shirt, sweats and tennis shoes. Why would he have clothes on under Big Momma's outfit, it would be too hot. (00:37:55)

Continuity mistake: Martin covers the girl with a blanket in the "evening" while the boy is chasing the fireflies. It is never cool enough in GA during the season of fireflies to warrant a blanket. Never. Unless there was some weird and unexplained weather phenomenon. (00:56:00)
