Continuity mistake: When Marlin and Dory are looking at the boats trying to find the one that took Nemo, they swim past a boat that says "Jerome's Raft." on it. When Nigel swoops down and gets them, the boat is completely missing, and the boat that was next to it is now the one closest to the dock.
Finding Nemo (2003)
21 continuity mistakes
Factual error: The film is explicitly set on the east coast of Australia. However Nigel is a Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), a species only found in the Americas. The only pelican species found in Australia is the Australian Pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus) which is mainly white, with black wing tips. If a Brown pelican was somehow transported to Australia and subsequently escaped into the wild, it would have been caught and destroyed under Australia's strict quarantine laws.
Gurgle: Oh, the human mouth is a disgusting place.
Trivia: The kid in the waiting room is reading a comic with Mr. Incredible on the cover, from the Disney/Pixar movie The Incredibles. (01:19:25)
Question: I read somewhere that there is a reference to fight club in this film. I just wondered if anyone had spotted it and if they have can they point it out please?

Answer: This reference is pretty hard to spot. You need to be very familiar with Fight Club and David Fincher. The reference occurs in the scene when Gill is describing the plan to escape from the fish tank. The camera work and linear flow through a sequence of events closely remembles the early scene in Fight Club where the Narrator describes what is about to occur in Operation Mayhem.
