Cars 2

Continuity mistake: Tony Trihull appears when Finn McMissile begins chasing Professor Z. It also shows when Tony uses his magnet. When it is used, Finn's equipment are pulled by the magnet, which includes his bullets. Those bullets are black when all of them were going out. However, when they are pulled onto the magnet they are grey.

Continuity mistake: When the cars are zigzagging in the Tokyo track, there is a shot where three specialists are talking about McQueen and they show him on the track in split screens (air and ground shot). In the air shot, he has a red car behind and then a green one following. But in the ground shot, the red car is gone and the green is behind McQueen, even though you can see the red one in the air shot at the same time.

Question: The three Cars films establish that all biological creatures are just variations of mechanical devices. Yet in Cars 2, there is mention of dinosaurs. What exactly are "dinosaurs" in the Cars world?

Chosen answer: If you're taking it to that level, one would have to believe that dinosaurs to these characters would be primitive forms of their devices, evolutionarily speaking.
