Mistake Continuity: When Roger drops a box off at the shop, his clipboard jumps from his hands to under his arm.

Mistake Continuity: Lionel stands in front of iron bars as he tells the story of his father drowning. Once he finishes the story, the bars are gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Lionel's mum gets bitten at the zoo, the colour of her sleeve material changes from black/dark blue to light blue.

Mistake Continuity: Vera's sunglasses diappear from her face as she attacks the rat-monkey.

Mistake Continuity: After being bitten by the rat-monkey, Vera's hands are empty. In the next shot she has her handbag, a tissue and a glove.

Mistake Continuity: In one scene Lionel is cleaning bloody footprints off the floor. Then Paquita comes round, and Vera eats her dog. Then Vera attacks Lionel, and they roll down the stairs. As they roll down the stairs you can see the footprints are now different from before.

Mistake Plot hole: At Vera's funeral, Uncle Les spots Paquita and introduces himself as Lionel's uncle. But since he hasn't got a clue who Paquita is, why does he refer to Lionel instead of Vera. Wouldn't it be natural to introduce himself as Vera's brother, as it's her funeral?

Mistake Continuity: When Lionel takes the zombie baby to the park, you can see he's got it caged behind barbed wire so it can't escape. But in an earlier shot, when he walks past a couple and shakes the pram about, you can see the barbed wire isn't there.

Mistake Continuity: In the park Selwyn rips all of the stuffing out of the teddy. In the next shot all the stuffing has vanished.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At the park Selwyn makes Lionel fall backwards and his head nearly hits the swings. Then as Selwyn gets up you can see black rods attached to his arms.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: You see the shadow of the camera man on the uncle when he spins around and heads for the door.

Mistake Revealing: As the three zombies go rabid at the house party, and McGruder and Thug tear the skin off a guy's face, the switch from actor to dummy is visible.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When 3 of the zombies are high on Animal Stimulants and are going rabid at the house party, several girls have locked themselves in a room. A guy starts to crawl in with no flesh from his waist down. In one of the shots as they pull him in, you can see his REAL body as the skinless legs are kicking (Look for a pair of black pants).

Mistake Revealing: When the thug zombie punches his hand through a womans head, you can see the switch from actress to dummy.

Mistake Continuity: The chain for the necklace is on the left hand side of the medallion when it stops spinning . But when they show it again before pulling away there's no chain on it at all.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Lionel has locked himself in the bathroom the thug zombie breaks through the door and is ripped in half, and you can see the hole in the floor for the actor's body.

Mistake Revealing: When the Thug Zombie has been torn in half and it is crawling toward Lionel, you can see the shadow of the actor's body being dragged behind it.

Mistake Other: When Lionel has been dragged back up to the ceiling by Thug Zombie's guts, chews the intestine, falls back down and collides with a zombies head, he doesn't really make any contact with it and yet it STILL explodes...

Mistake Other: As Lionel is hanging from the ceiling and the zombie priest and nurse come toward each other, the pitchfork that Uncle Lez shoved into the priest impales the nurse and it is covered with blood. A split second later it is clean.

Mistake Continuity: When the top of the zombie's head slides toward Rita, the floor around it is clean. As soon as the shot changes, there's blood all around it, and then it changes again, when Paquita kicks it.
