Continuity mistake: As Pinback puts the fruit down in front of the alien, its feet and spots change position. (00:28:50)
Continuity mistake: When the alien attacks Pinback, he drops his broom in the middle of the room. There is then an overhead shot which shows it back in the corner. (00:29:30)
Factual error: In the scene right after pinback shoots the beach-ball alien, we see the Dark Star space craft cruising past a planet with a sun in the background. You can see a reflection on the planet which is coming from the space craft. I'm sorry, but usually ships in space are not large enough to reflect off a planet, especially to the degree this one does. (00:48:20)
Doolittle: Don't give me any of that intelligent life crap, just give me something I can blow up.
Question: On the death of Commander Powell, wouldn't Lieutenant Doolittle have been promoted to commander?

Answer: Just because he was forced to take command doesn't guarantee him a promotion.
