details

• Revealing mistakes: When Pistachio, as the "Cherry Pie Man", is fighting the two henchmen, the cherries he spits are flying at the "henchies" from two visibly different angles.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pistachio does the back flip onto the platform where Jennifer is standing, he has his back to her, but when he lands, he is facing her.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Pistachio does a back flip onto the platform where Jennifer is chained, in some shots, one can clearly see the wires connected to his belt.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: Two main revealing mistakes with the Turtle Man include: in between shots the glasses he is wearing change from being regular glasses to magnified glasses, and vice versa. And at one point when Jennifer is trying to get information from the cigar roller, you can see the bald cap Pistachio is wearing as the Turtle Man starts to come loose behind his right ear.
  
  
• Plot holes: When Pistachio and Jennifer go to the toy convention to find Bowman she says her name is Barbara, and Bowman invites her to his house. When Pistachio comes looking for her at the door (as the German Guy and the Snobby English Guy) he says he needs to talk to Jennifer Barker. Wouldn't he ask to see Barbara instead of Jennifer? Also Bowman knows her as Barbara and didn't say anything about him calling her Jennifer.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mr. Peru is asking the waiter for things that he doesn't have, the shrunken head in his hand disappears between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When Grandfather gives Pistachio the "nest in a box", the shots change. One is the tables with the red tablecloth, which we see at the beginning. At a different angle, we see tables with tan tablecloths.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pistachio is looking for an assistant, Jennifer Esposito puts on her bag when it was already on.
  
  
• Continuity: When Barney trips over the menu and falls to the floor, his skateboard starts to roll away on it's wheels. In the very next shot the skateboard is now flipped over on its other side, now lying on the board.
  
  
• Continuity: At Bowman's party, the Items on the waiters plate, as he offers them to Pistachio disguised as Mr. Peru, constantly change.
  
  
• Continuity: When the grandfather comes with the Exorcist theme song playing, he has a briefcase, but in different shots, it disappears.
  
  
• Continuity: When the grandfather asks where the nest is and Pistachio says the attic, he is sitting down really close to the wall. In the next shot, when he stands up, he isn't even close to any walls.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Pistachio has the flashback in the gym, the guy says, "Think you got muscles now, try this." When Pistachio says O.K, his mouth doesn't move at all.
  
  
• Continuity: At the start when Pistachio's dad is in the car, you see in the background that they are on a road, but when you see a wider outside shot, he isn't driving on a road.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pistachio and Grandfather are eating dinner, watch the cup right before he disguises himself as a maid. The next shot it has moved.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Pistachio gets out of the cherry pie, he is covered in cherries and cherry juice, yet when he runs away from the guards, he leaves no cherry juice footprints.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pistachio is disguised as Robert Shaw, you can see a ladder that he uses later to escape. In one shot, the ladder disappears.
  
  
• Continuity: After the fight in the restaurant, Jennifer is standing by the table with nothing in her hands. As they turn to leave she suddenly holds an envelope.
  
  
• Factual errors: One of the precious items depicted in the film was the Apollo 11 lunar module, which landed the first humans on the moon. The bottom half of Apollo 11 (the Descent Module) is still sitting on the moon today - it was for descent only. The top half, the Ascent Module, was jettisoned into space before the astronauts descended back to earth. So it is impossible for the actual Apollo 11 to be stolen as depicted in the film.
