Continuity mistake: In the scene where Beldar has finished giving Gladys a driving lesson and they are sitting in the car, you can see that he has nothing on his lips. After Gladys kisses Beldar, you can see red lipstick. As the shots go from Beldar to Gladys and back, you can see the lipstick disappear and re-appear.

Revealing mistake: After Connie does the dive, for someone who has just been underwater she is hardly wet at all when she gets out and when she 'dries herself off' with the towel.

Plot hole: Michael McKean quits pursuing Beldar and approximately 15 years pass as indicated by Connie growing up, yet when you see McKean again and his assistant, they have not aged at all.

William Bergquist

Visible crew/equipment: When the alien ship is lifting up the Coneheads in their red car and the two Federal agents with its magnetic gripper, as they get closer to the ship's lights, you can see safety wires, either for the car or the two men.
