Continuity mistake: In the underground garage scene with Russ, Rusty and Janet, Rusty's hair is combed straight down and very neat when he comes out from behind the pillar. When Janet says, "I should have worn my magic bra and panties.", Rusty starts laughing and his hair is messed up. But then when Rusty is snapping his seat belt as he's sitting in the Porsche, his hair is back to being neat.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Russ is driving to make up with the girl, the streets look very wet, as if it had recently rained. When he pulls into the driveway, that cement is totally dry. He also hits the curb on the way up the driveway.
Continuity mistake: When Russ and Rusty come out of the tunnel (with red airplane), Russ pulls off the road because their car, clothes, etc. have gone back to 1968. As they are pulling off onto the dirt, they stop just past a pickup truck with a motorcycle next to it. The next shot of the area show Russ sitting up on the back of the seat while the camera pans the area. The pickup truck and motorcycle have disappeared.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Rusty is found eating popcorn and watching TV, Russ (the adult one) spins Rusty's chair around. Rusty throws his popcorn up on surprise, getting it everywhere. Then, all of a sudden, the popcorn is gone. But, moments later, it's back again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Russ is in the kitchen making a sandwich, Rusty comes in and Russ starts shaking the sandwich at him. You see bits of bread fly onto the bench in front of Rusty, but when the camera cuts back to Rusty again, the chunks of bread are gone.
Continuity mistake: When Rusty's/Russ' dad pulls into the driveway of their home, we see the street is black and wet, like it had just rained. But when we see Russ watching from across the street, the pavement is dry and very light colored.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the young Rusty goes home with his mom after beating up the bullies his father is yelling at him outside.

Continuity mistake: In the diner near the end of the movie, Russ and Rusty go to toast their chocolate milk shakes. It looks like Russ actually misses or barely grazes Rusty's glass and then starts to spill. But the very next shot they are holding their glasses upright.
