Corrected entry: When Gary, Wyatt, and Lisa go to the Kandy Bar, Lisa gives them fake ID's so they can get in. Wyatt's license has an address of 1401 Lucile Ave in Shermer, ILL 60007. 60007 is the ZIP code for Elk Grove Village, Illinois which has no Lucile Ave. (00:16:50)

Correction: As you said, they're fake IDs, so a fake address would be expected.

Correction: In addition to the other correction, Shermer is a fictional town and thus could share the Elk Grove zip code.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Gary is driving the Ferrari Mondial and looks down at the dash, it's one from a Ferrari 308, not a Mondial.

Correction: The car was conjured by Lisa. As such, it doesn't have to match any actual models.

Corrected entry: The boys are having a party at Wyatt's house. Just before the motorcycles come crashing through the window one can see that the panes of glass are already shattered.

Correction: Considering that a nuclear missile came up through the basement, and the house did not collapse, the vibration must have been distributed throughout the house, which could have easily caused the windows to crack. But since Lisa created the "bikers" anyways, she could have just as easily cracked the windows to make them easy for the bikers to crash through for dramatic effect.

Continuity mistake: During the storm of Lisa's creation, when Wyatt shouts to hang up the phone, Gary leans over Wyatt's arm and places the handset back onto the phone base. However, after Gary shouts, "What's going on?" the handset is still on the modem.

Trivia: When Gary is first telling Wyatt of his idea to make a woman, Wyatt asks,"What about your girl[friend] in Canada?" a reference to Anthony Michael Hall's character in "The Breakfast Club." In the Breakfast Club when Bender is asking Brian if he is a cherry, Brian says that he had slept with a girl from Canada that he met at Niagara Falls. (00:07:00)

Question: At the very end when Lisa is a gym instructor, when they pan from her feet up, on VHS and on my DVD the Rocky theme is played. But whenever I see it on cable, the Weird Science theme is played instead. Why is this?

Chosen answer: They probably only had permission to use the song at the cinema and take home releases, so when shown on broadcast TV they'd have to use another song.
