details

• Continuity: Andy fires paper cups out of his bedroom window, leaves it open then moves to another window and climbs out on to the roof. The first window is now shown shut.
  
  
• Continuity: Andy fires paper cups out his right hand bedroom window towards the moon. He then moves to the left hand window and climbs out on to the roof. The moon is now in a different part of the sky and he could not have seen it from the other window.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Andy and his Dad Washington drive along at 60mph in the Pontiac with the hood down. They stand up but there is no wind blowing in their faces, nor are their clothes rustling.
  
  

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Washington starts to play a game with Andy naming the elements in the periodic table. He starts with Argon and Ozone. Argon is an element but Ozone isn't. Ozone is a gas formed from Oxygen.
  
  
• Continuity: The reunited family take the amphibious car across a lake to Canada from the Spires of the Moon National Park. When Washington showed Andy the map however, the Spires of the Moon was ringed in red on the map and it was hundreds of miles from the Canadian border.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: At the end of the credits, the year of the trademark and copyright is given as "MCMXIV", 1914. The movie was made in 1994.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: As mentioned in the film, it took 19 hours for the Apollo astronauts to land on the moon from the moment they lifted off, and has Washington and Andrew traveling over that same span of time. However, by counting the number of nights they have on the trip, they are on the road for three days.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Andrew is driving the car, the rigging of a trailer hauling the car can be seen as the camera zooms out.
