Continuity mistake: At the very beginning a beetle rolls a dirt ball over the ground, and the king of Kuvukiland picks up the ball to roll a cigarette with it. The beetle in close-up is shown on open soil, but the king is placed on some kind of blanket when he picks it up. (00:01:15)

Continuity mistake: When the boy hits a white stone in the direction of the antelope's butt it is an orange ball that actually hits the antelope. (00:02:05)

Continuity mistake: After the beetle scene a boy plays the Kuvuki version of golf, i.e. hitting stones with a club-like branch and aiming for an antelope's butt. In close up you can see that three different clubs were used for this sequence. (00:02:05)

Continuity mistake: When the plane with the baby Mr. Bones crashes, a lion gets startled by the noise. In the next shot the lion is taking an interest in the baby, but it is very obviously a different lion. (00:03:20)

Continuity mistake: Before Mr. Bones leaves Kuvukiland to look for the king's son he is chatting with his baboon. Then he puts it down, talks to someone, and in the next shot he puts it down again. (00:10:40)

Continuity mistake: On his way to Sun City Mr. Bones relieves an elephant from his constipation by extracting some blockage through the rectum. This results in a huge elephant pat flying with great momentum horizontally in the direction of a bystanding lady's backhead. Then the lady is shown from behind, running away, and the pat, which made a rather sticky impression when it hit her, is gone. (00:16:55)

Revealing mistake: Towards the middle of the movie Fats has a motorbike accident and is seen riding into a huge rock. When the stuntman actually hits the rock and goes ballistic there are huge piles of straw right next to the rock that hadn't been there before. In the course of the event the stone gets shifted by about a metre, thus revealing itself as a prop. (00:45:40)

Continuity mistake: When Vince gives his speech to the Kuvuki people there are two men standing behind him. In a panorama shot at the end of the speech there is nobody at that spot. (01:24:25)
