Revealing mistake: Don Ameche's double is the one doing the elaborate dancing on the floor at the bar. You'll notice the double's hair is different and if you slow the scene down, it's clear it isn't the real actor.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end when the Coast Guard is chasing the boat, there is a shot looking at Wilford Brimley. The perfect shadow of the camera can be seen since the light is directly behind the operator.

Revealing mistake: When the Pillsbury alien comes in to the pool house, a bright white light turns on from the far left. It is supposed to be emanating from Pillsbury. The color is also incorrect.

Audio problem: During the dancing scene at the "hip young person dance bar," there are shots of people commenting about the old people dancing. In every shot with people commenting on the older people, none of their mouths are moving to what is being said.
