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.
Mystery Men (1999)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Kinka Usher
Starring: Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Geoffrey Rush, Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo
Continuity mistake: When the squad is making new costumes with the Sphinx and the Shoveller is talking to someone, the tape measure keeps changing places. First it's outside his collar, then it's inside it.
The Sphinx: You must be like wolf pack, not six-pack.
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.
Question: At one point, Blue Raja mistakenly says that Bowler's father's name was Sal, which she immediately corrects as being Carmine. I never caught this till now after watching a recent animated Batman movie, but two of the big mob bosses that are rivals in Batman are Sal Maroni and Carmine Falcone. Considering the influences of this movie, is this intended to be a reference to the two Batman mob bosses?
