Other: When Big Momma is taking a shower, you can clearly see that the shower head is a mirror, with the water coming only out of the top, and when Big Momma bends over, you can also see her reflection in the shower head.

Continuity: When Big Momma (Martin Lawrence) is in the place where Nolan supposedly teaches them to defend themselves. When Nolan is looking at Gertrude, you can clearly see a young face, with no wrinkles. Then when she is laying down on the floor, there is a very old face. They used a double for the scene in which she is hit.

Other: When Nia Long and Martin Lawrence are sitting in the boat on the water, talking about Jascha Washington. You can see a fisherman in the background, but if you look close enough, you can see it's a fake person.

Continuity: In the scene where Big Momma's gentleman caller comes to the door, Martin Lawrence runs over to the door and stands directly in front of it with both of his hands up gripping his gun. This can be seen in the shot when we see into the house through the window on the door. In the very next shot both of his hands are down.

Visible crew/equipment: When they are making the face of big momma we see the camera pass Malcom's back and then out again. When it reaches the other side you can a cameraman with a beard watching him in the mirror just before the other guy walks into the room.

Continuity: Big Momma and the girl are in the kitchen and Big Momma tapes her face. In the next shot, no tape.

Other: In the scene where they surprise Big Momma for her birthday, Nolan takes the gun from Malcolm (he says give it to me, you ain't supposed to have that, etc. then says I'm gonna go secure the perimeter when he gets the gun) . They show the gun and their hands up close. It is loaded, the safety is off, it is cocked and Malcolm has his finger on the trigger. Nolan is pressing Malcolm's fingers. If he had really been fighting for the gun the way it seems, the gun would have gone off.
