Continuity mistake: In the scene where Phoebe is interrogating Cindy, Cindy refuses to testify or identify Crisp in the line up. She then tries to leave the interrogation room, but it's locked. When the interrogation is over, we see that Phoebe opens the same door without any problems, or anyone opening it from the outside. (00:08:38)

Suggested correction: We see the door from the outside when Phoebe opens it from the inside, so it's possible that she unlocked it with a key before opening it.

Revealing mistake: When they show a street shot of Kimble looking for Crisp, right before he walks into the salon, they show the marquee of the movies that are being shown. Listed on the marquee it says " Jamie Gerts." It should be " Gertz" (00:10:00)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: On Kimble's first day as the kindergarten teacher, he's wearing a white shirt with jeans and a jacket. When he shows up the next day and is talking with the mother of one kid, he's wearing a maroon shirt with khakis. They then cut to the kids doing the pledge of allegiance, then to the kid eating everybody's lunches. In that shot Arnold is wearing the white shirt, jeans, and jacket. But then, they cut to "Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" sequence, and Arnold is back in the maroon shirt and khakis. It seems the "Lunch-box kid" part was in the wrong spot.

Trivia: When Kimble carries Phoebe into the motel, he says two short sentences in German (the only time Arnie can be heard speaking his native tongue in a movie.). For interest, these mean: "That makes me stinking mad. Now I'm mad."

More trivia for Kindergarten Cop

Question: Why does Zack have bruises everywhere on his body,also,why does his mom lie about it?

Answer: Because he's being abused by his father. As explained in the movie the father beats him and his mother as well. So she has to lie about Zack's black and blue marks. In one scene the mother explains Mr. Kimble that the father is undergoing therapy. He says that if it happens again he will report it. As Zack shows bruises again, Arnold's character goes out and beats Zack's father.
