Trivia

The voice of the Gators fan, who calls in to the sports radio show, belongs to the film's Director, Barry Sonnenfeld. The voice of that radio show's host belongs to Sonnenfeld's friend, Director/Writer (not for this film), David Koepp. Sonnenfeld's daughter has an uncredited brief cameo as the little blonde girl, in the pink shirt riding a scooter, which Puggy, Nina and Matt run past at the airport.

Mistake Continuity: At the Miami Herald, when Ken Deeber turns the computer to face Eliot, the Herald's homepage is visible on the PC, but when Eliot stands on Deeber's desk nothing is on the PC's screen.

Mistake Continuity: When Eliot kicks in the computer screen in Deeber's office, the screen's frame breaks off, only to be intact in the next shot.

Mistake Continuity: When Matt phones Eliot about borrowing the Geo and in following shots, the objects on the windowsill behind Eliot change position.

Mistake Factual error: When the Dalmatian and her new puppies are shown, the puppies are standing and their eyes are open. However, a new born puppy's eyes are sealed shut until they are at least 12 days old and they can only crawl on their bellies.

Mistake Continuity: When Leonard Ferroni trips at the airport the first time, in the still shot all the golf clubs are uncovered, but when they hit the ground three of them suddenly have covers.

Mistake Continuity: When Matt and Andrew jump over the stone wall to 'kill' Jenny with the super-soaker, there is a large plant in front of the stones right below them which disappears in the next shot.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Desalvo, Ferroni, Matt and Andrew are all in the backyard waiting for their moments to strike, in the exterior shots facing the back doors, Arthur is standing facing the TV and there is a small beige rug between him and the TV which disappears in following shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Desalvo's bullet hits Arthur Herk's TV the glass shatters and the bullet hole is visible on a black background towards the upper left. But in following shots much more of the glass is intact, with a large jagged hole in the glass surrounding the area of the bullet's impact.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Eliot shows up at the Herks the first time, just as he and Officer Kramitz approach Matt the boom mic dips into view at the top.

Mistake Continuity: When Eliot is coming to get his son after the missed murder attempt, he enters the room and walks towards his son then is nearly beside him. After it cuts to Anna, when it cuts back to Eliot, he is again walking toward his son.

Mistake Continuity: When Nina wakes up in the treehouse with Puggy, the blouse collar hangs off her right bare shoulder, but in the shots facing her back, the collar is on her shoulder.

Mistake Continuity: When Anna is in Eliot's office and they start their little romp, Eliot is holding a mug with coffee, but when it spills the liquid is clear.

Mistake Continuity: When the drunk security guard chases the teenagers, he trips and his gun goes flying quite a few feet away from him as he hits the ground, but when Andrew picks it up the gun is near the security guard.

Mistake Continuity: When the drunk security guard trips and falls after shooting at Andrew, Matt and Jenny, once the gun lands on the asphalt its position changes - note the direction it faces between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Stanley Tucci throws his wallet at Tom Sizemore in the bar's robbery scene, the wallet hits Sizemore in the face, then hits his upper arm, then falls behind him to his right. Yet, in the next shot, it has landed on the bomb case on the floor to his left. The same thing happens a few moments later when Tucci throws his keys at Sizemore.

Mistake Continuity: When Snake shoots Arthur's TV, the reflection on the TV screen shows the couch and lamps opposite it, but the tall cabinet beside the couch and the huge painting with the table beneath it are all missing from the wall it faces.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Officer Romero and Arthur are alone in the house, handcuffed to the brass shelving unit, as she says, "Help me or I will crush you like a damn bug," a crewmember wearing glasses and a blue shirt is seen crouching on the floor, at the bottom right of the screen.

Mistake Continuity: After the Geo hits the goat on the way to the airport, Eliot swerves to avoid the traffic and we see the dent on the front hood, but the dent disappears and then reappears.

Mistake Continuity: On the airplane, when Eliot pushes the suitcase down the stairs, Snake grabs hold of it with his left hand and while holding the gun in his right hand with his right wrist around the stair bar. In one shot the gun is gone and he's gripping the stair bar with his right hand, then the gun reappears again.

Mistake Continuity: When Snake falls toward the water with the "kingpin's suitcase", the gun is in his right hand and he's gripping the heavy suitcase in his left hand. Yet, in the last shot of him underwater the gun and suitcase have switched hands. Interestingly this is not a flipped shot, the watches are still on his left wrist.
