Continuity mistake: In the scene where Alan is showing him how the Thunderpants work, he puts them into a machine to get rid of the stink or whatever it is. It makes a load of noise and just before he takes it out again you see the lights change and he is drumming his fingers just behind them. The very next shot shows him with his hands by his sides.
