Continuity mistake: When the old man is fixing the water fountain, a towel appears / disappears between shots.
Continuity mistake: After water falls on Billy's desk, the table and floor appear totally dry.
Continuity mistake: When Billy is tied up in the dentist's chair, he's got a single wire tying him up, but a double wire in the close-ups. The bandage on his forehead is also either covering his eyebrows or not, depending on the angle.
Factual error: When the Security Guard in the pump room gets bitten on the nose, he starts shooting with his revolver (a SIX shooter). Count the bangs. He manages to fire SEVEN times. (00:39:45)
Grandpa Fred: They put me on at 3am. People who are awake at 3am aren't afraid of the Wolfman. The only thing that frightens those people is sobering up and going to work.
Trivia: When the movie played in theaters, there was a scene where Dr. Catheter begins to tell Billy about the gremlins before the movie is interrupted by gremlins until they are threatened by Hulk Hogan. When the movie was released on VHS, the scene was changed to static appearing and gremlins constantly changing the channels. This caused many people who bought or rented the movie to think there was something wrong with the tape and took it back to the stores they purchased it from.
