Continuity mistake: When Cody Banks crashes a rocket propelled snowboard into a tree, Ronica Miles meets him using a jet pack. When she lands, she unbuckles herself and all the straps are seen free. After a shot of Cody's snowboard in the tree, it goes back to Ronica and she begins unbuckling herself from the jet pack again.
Revealing mistake: When Cody is on the jet ski inside the evil guy's hideout, he smashes through some glass. The glass smashes before the jet ski even touches it.
Continuity mistake: When Cody is trying to save the child in the car, it shows a shot of a railroad guard descending to prevent traffic from coming onto the train tracks. However, when Cody manages to stop the car, it is almost hit by the train and the guard is not there.
Continuity mistake: When the skateboard skids burning out to the side, you can see a chunk coming of the board. If you look close, its the right wheel falling of. When Cody collects his board after the rescue, all wheels are intact and in place.
Continuity mistake: As Cody is trying to stop the car he grabs the front grill and moves to the left of the screen. You see he spins his board 180 degrees from regular footed to goofy footed. In the next shot he is holding the door with his feet back in regular footed position (regular footed is when the left foot is in front of your right foot, goofy is when the right foot is in front).
Visible crew/equipment: At one point in the fight in the secret lair of the bad guy, Frankie Muniz jumps sideways over what seems to be an engine block. While he does this, the hood on his hoodie is up, presumably to hide the face of the stunt double, but before and after it is down.
Visible crew/equipment: When Ronica Miles lands her helicopter after Cody crashes into the tree, look closely at the top of the helicopter. When she's in the air, there are no wires (it's blue-screened) but when it's about to take off, you can see wires at the top.
Factual error: Cody mentions the coordinates of the Cascade Mountains as: Long: 44 degrees 5' 2" Lat: -104 degrees 24' 8". There is no such thing as -104° latitude. The maximum in the northern hemisphere is +90° (the North Pole) and the maximum in the Southern Hemisphere is -90° (South Pole).
Continuity mistake: When Natalie is trying to get her driver's license, her hair keeps changing from nice to messy.
Visible crew/equipment: When Cody and Ronica arrive at the secret lair, you can faintly see the green screen reflected off of Ronica's foil suit.
Continuity mistake: Cody's jersey from the gym keeps changing, i.e. the white trim on the collar disappears in one shot.
Continuity mistake: When Ronica first goes into the glass dome to tell Cody and Natalie that they need to go, Natalie grabs her jacket. Then a minute or so later, when they are standing with the head of E.R.I.S., she still doesn't have it on. Then the shot goes back to Cody and then back to Natalie being shoved into a chair. There she has the jacket on. There's no possible way she could have got it on because she was being held by E.R.I.S. workers.
Continuity mistake: In the driving lesson, at some points when Cody is driving, there is no one sitting in the backseat where Natalie is supposedly sitting.
Continuity mistake: When Natalie slides down the banner, she slides down backwards. The way Cody catches her, she should have been sliding sideways.
Continuity mistake: When Cody is trying to save the young boy from the runaway car, he sticks his head in from the top. He pulls the brake just in time to stop the car from crashing into a train. His legs are animated and they start to go inside the car. When it goes back to real life, he is still halfway outside the car.
Continuity mistake: When Cody is cutting into a ventilator duct at Connor's house he starts the cut about two feet from the ground on his left side and proceeds up and over and down to the ground on his right side. However in the next shot it shows him pushing the 'cut-out' in and it is now cut all the way down on his left. (00:50:30)
Continuity mistake: When Cody uses the skateboard to slow the car down he soon kicks it off to the side. When he goes back to get it, it is closer to the car than it should have been.
Continuity mistake: In the scene right after Natalie falls, and Rhonica Miles comes in as the nurse, in the five minutes between the time Rhonica Miles exits the van and enters the nurse's office, her hairdo changes. How could she change her clothes and hair within the time limit she had? Especially since she had to find a nurse outfit and talk to the real nurse.
Continuity mistake: When the scientist is demonstrating the nanobots which can break down oil, a guy spears a model seal on the end of a fork. He then lifts the fork up into the camera shot with the handle 'down' and the fork part with the seal 'up'. The seal is upright (ie. not upside down). Earlier in that scene, it shows the 'apparatus' with the seal upright. The guy would have forked the seal from above, meaning that when he showed the seal to the camera it should have been upside down, because he rotated the fork 180 degrees before he showed it to the camera.
Continuity mistake: In the CIA they show a picture of the United States with young agents all over it. In one shot a few of the pictures disapear.
Answer: The fight with the bullies made the school paper and drew unwanted attention to Cody which could compromise his mission. Cody lied to Natalie to try and impress her.
