Continuity mistake: When Gru is attempting to unlock the floor key pad, he triggers an incorrect key and some fire is blown at him. Some smoke is left all over his face. Gru triggers another incorrect key and some darts are launched at him. The smoke is still there, but as he falls over, most of the smoke on his face has gone. The smoke on his right cheek is still there, but has still vanished from his face. (01:04:20)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Gru follows Eduardo through the corridors, he stumbles to find him dancing along a floor key pad to unlock the lift. It is also shown that if a key is pushed incorrectly, the key turns red and a weapon is launched at the person on the key pad. When he begins to activate the key pad, the first key he steps on is the key second to the left on the first row and continues the rest of the pattern. Gru then attempts to do the exact same sequence. The first key he steps on is the key second to the left on the second row, despite the fact that Eduardo actually triggered the first sound effect with the key on the first row, second to the left. Despite this, the sound effect is still correctly triggered. (01:03:40)

Casual Person

Plot hole: The rocket is launched with Gru and Lucy attached to it. All of the minions are around them at El Macho's lair at this point. Considering a rocket travels at several hundred miles per hour, when they jump off it almost a minute later they should be several miles away at the very least, but three Minions appear on a boat shortly after. There is no way the three Minions could have reached Gru and Lucy all the way from the lair in that short time. (01:22:05 - 01:23:25)

Casual Person

Other mistake: After Gru has left El Macho's lair, Gru goes to get the girls and finds Margo sitting at a table eating from a nacho hat that has guacamole in it. The hat is slanted sideways, but the guacamole remains in fixed position and never slides to the side. (01:09:20)

Continuity mistake: When the elevator door opens to show El Macho's lair, Gru walks out and there is no-one in sight. A few shots later, El Macho has suddenly appeared behind Gru. There was no space behind Gru that El Macho could have hid behind. (01:06:00)

Casual Person

Audio problem: As Gru attempts the dance floor key, some of the guacamole from his nacho hat falls out of the hat and lands on one of the keys which then triggers one of the sound effects. An axe then chops off the rear end of his nacho hat and lands on the part of the dance floor behind him, but no sound effect is made from the floor. (01:04:05)

Casual Person

Plot hole: When Gru and Lucy are searching Eduardo's restaurant, Eduardo's pet chicken begins a fight with Gru and Lucy which involves a lot of screaming, breaking tables, the chicken battering Gru which was all very loud, yet Eduardo only finds out someone was in the restaurant as soon as he walks up to the door, despite all the noise from the fight between Gru, Lucy and the chicken. (00:34:20 - 00:36:10)

Casual Person

Other mistake: As Eduardo goes to leave the cupcake shop, Gru believes he could be El Macho and Eduardo leaves.

Continuity mistake: When Doctor Nefario is having a send off, he begins to blast off in his scooter very slowly. The shot after he says "This may take a while", the Minions begin to leave the area, yet in the next shot, the other Minions have vanished completely. There was nowhere near any time for them to have left the area that quickly. (00:21:10)

Continuity mistake: After watching El macho activate the dance floor key to the lift, Gru then does the same thing.
