Other mistake: After the Demon Headmaster has been drenched in goo on the TV show Eddy Hair ends the show and there is a shot of the children shouting his catchphrase, in this shot you can see Eddy's cameraman crouched on the floor at the bottom of the stairs looking injured and holding his arm.

Visible crew/equipment: When the Demon Headmaster is travelling by helicopter to 10 Downing Street at one point there is a close-up shot of his face and you can see a square light screen reflected in his glasses. There's no excuse for this since he's supposed to be high in the air. (00:21:23)
