Visible crew/equipment: When Ralph flies up to the President's helicopter to warn the pilot, Ralph circles the aircraft and shouts "Get out of here, dummy," and as the pilot turns his head during this stunt while he's in mid-air, we can see the appearance of filming equipment right outside the cockpit's other open window.

Visible crew/equipment: After Ralph's interference with the unmarked police car while he's inside the manhole, when it cuts to the high school Ralph asks if anybody has seen Tony, and just as the camera passes Rhonda the T-mark is visible on the floor near the other female student's desk.

Continuity mistake: While Bill and Ralph are in the car, John Mackie appears under the ship carrying the case with the suit. After John places the case in the car's trunk he walks back towards the ship empty handed, but in the last shot of John standing under the ship he's still holding the case.
