Continuity mistake: After Jack is blown out of the sky and is lying in the graveyard, he has several grey smudges on his face from the explosion. But in the very next shot, a bird's eye view of Jack lying across the angel, the smudges have disappeared. (00:59:10)
The Mayor: Jack, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!

Question: At the beginning of the film, when some of the monsters introduce themselves, what does the clown say after he takes his face off?
