Continuity mistake: When Jay is in the fight scene with Jarra and his clones, Jay jumps up two clones to get to Big Jarra, but when the camera angle changes, the Jarra clone he jumped on is gone. (01:04:35)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jay is fighting with Jarra, we see the clear rubber tubes in very back of the room.

Continuity mistake: When J is trapped by the subway slime monster there are no cars on the left and a big mess is done on the curb and pavement. However, from the opposite side of the street, a frame later, the place is full of cars with no sign of the previous destruction.

Factual error: K sees the constellation Orion in the night sky above New York City, but the film takes place in July, and Orion is a winter constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning it wouldn't be visible during the summer.

Continuity mistake: When Jay and Tee first start to talk to Jeff, Tee grabs the "weed." When Jeff gets mad and starts banging on the grate, the wide shot shows Tee in the same position, gripping Jeff's weed, however it was not digitally added in that shot, so he's gripping nothing. But in the next shot, he's shown gripping the weed again.

Revealing mistake: When Agent Jay is in the yellow tent with Serleena's tiny ship, the view back at HQ shows a shot from a distance behind the ship of Jay holding the communicator he's supposed to be transmitting the video from.

Character mistake: When Jeebs is showing them his deneuralizer and it shorts out a moment, he states he's still running off the 6.0. However the computer display shows he's using the beta 0.93.

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When they land on the roof of the launch site, Jay gets out of the passenger side, even though he and Kay switched spots after which Jay was driving/flying.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: While they did switch when flying, the scene goes from them stopping in the tunnel and watching Serleena being eating by Jeff to them landing on the roof. Given Kay always insisting he drives, they simply switched seats in the tunnel before leaving.

Continuity mistake: At the post office, K waves his hands at J and turns around to where the employees are. When the angle changes K is waving his hands again.

Audio problem: When Jay and Frank are rolling up to the pizzeria, Jay is replying to Frank. As the car comes to a stop, and after they get out and go into the store, you hear Jay, but his lips aren't moving.

Question: I never really got the line "it came with a black dude, but he kept getting pulled over". What was so funny?

Chosen answer: It's referring to the innate racial prejudice some people have - an inflatable black guy driving a nice car got pulled over, whereas an inflatable white guy had no problems.
