Continuity mistake: In the robotics lab, when Gregorio and Ingrid chain Minion to the chair one of the colorful links is broken and the wire is visible, but in the following shots the chain's position differs. Then, as Minion presses the red button his suit and tie are quite messed up and the hat's black cord is to his left. Yet in the next shot when he releases the button his suit and tie are perfectly straight, the black cord is behind his head and it's obvious that the smoke comes from behind the chair! (01:11:05)

Continuity mistake: The handcuff with the broken chain that is stuck on Juni's wrist, actually changes its position to the opposite way, while on the same wrist, in some shots the single bar faces out and in others the double bar faces out. For example, when Juni speaks into his watch and says, "I'm toast!" the double bar faces out, yet in the park when Juni spins as robo-Carmen approaches him, the single bar faces out.
