Deliberate mistake: When the kids are about to jump start the trap Phoebe hides behind the school bus door. Half a second later, when the trap opens, she's nowhere to be seen, not even jumping or stepping inside the bus. Then half a second later she has managed to get inside, turn around and protect her head while the bus windows burst. It all happens in real time for their hairs are still fluttering. It sure paces up the scene, but it's really awkward.

Other mistake: When Gary is about to test the trap check the bus door on the right: there's a reflection of what seems to be his shirt, but it's a long sleeved wrinkled shirt, not the short sleeved he's wearing. What's even more bizarre: when Gary moves around, the reflection stays completely still and, drumroll, a shot later, from the very same angle, the reflection disappears. Either it was a crew member hiding, or a CGI-made reflection placed to hide some unwanted crew or equipment reflection.

Continuity mistake: When Gary is testing the trap on the car, he puts his hand very close to it. A shot later it's further away, and he's reaching for the trap again.

Continuity mistake: At Walmart, when Gary finds the sentinel his eyes are looking down. There's a close-up of him slowly looking upwards and finally staring at the creature. Shot changes, and he is looking down again and repeating all previous movements.

Continuity mistake: When Grooberson drops the trap in front of the kids, the handle points at Podcast. A shot later it's in a different position, parallel to the kid. Also, the cable's position changes several times.

Continuity mistake: When Gary shows the kids a YouTube video of the Ghostbusters, he points his finger at the screen. From the opposite angle his finger is away. Then back to the wide-angle, and he's retrieving his finger again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Gary opens the trap next to the 2 school buses, he is wearing a cable attached to an earpiece on the right side of his head. The kind of cable actors wear to receive instructions from the crew. There's no reason plot-wise for him to be wearing it (he isn't receiving any instructions from the kids, who are right next to him).

Continuity mistake: When young Clark is left cleaning the football equipment, the students' car drives away, passing by a blue pick-up. The engine noise fades away and silence falls. When the shot changes, the car is suddenly meters behind, next to the blue pick-up, engine roaring again, and leaving the place again.

Continuity mistake: When Jiminy shows us Geppetto's place, there's a toy soldier next to a camel. From the opposite angle the soldier is now a giraffe.
