Continuity mistake: When they are debating parole for Casanova, Casanova is giving his plea. During this, he is sitting down while his hands are up near his chest. The camera changes angles to the entire room, and you can see his hands are in his lap, not up near his chest as seen in the scene before.

Continuity mistake: After the Mystery Men accidentally kill Captain Amazing, they make a quick exit, and The Blue Raja drops a fork while leaving. When we see Casanova hold up that fork to the machine we notice that the fork catches the light very well, as if it were new. Which means it wasn't the same fork, as the one that Blue Raja dropped wasn't that well polished to begin with.

Revealing mistake: As the Spleen and Invisible Boy stand silhouetted in front of the moon, their motions are easy to tell as the film being run forward and backwards.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: The Shoveler uses his hard hat as a fulcrum to shoot Roy up onto the roof of the car. When he kicks the shovel up a second later, he suddenly has the hat on.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: When the Bowler first introduces her ball, the material is mostly clear. When it's sitting on the table, the material is a slightly opaque pink.

Movie Nut

The Shoveller: God's given me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel very well.

Trivia: Listen to what the Blue Raja says when Captain Amazing has finished beating up the Red Eyes, he says something like: "With the punching and the hurting", this is a reference to the Simpsons, Professor Frink (voiced by the person who plays the Blue Raja) talks just like that.

More trivia for Mystery Men

Question: Just interested, but when the Mystery Men are rescuing Captain Amazing, how did Amazing know the sequence for the release mechanism and where it was if he was unconscious when he was put there?

Heather Benton

Chosen answer: In a previous scene with Casanova, Capt. Amazing and he have done this (capture & escape) a lot! So much so that Capt. Amazing would have been in that situation before enough times to already know the sequence code from previous times being captured (and escaping).
