Mistake Other: When the truckers are harassing Supergirl, one of them gets thrown 20 feet, and yet they don't find that unusual? They just keep coming until they can't anymore.

Mistake Revealing: When Supergirl flies through the window to fight the invisible monster, half of the screen shows her jumping in a school uniform and the other half exiting with the Supergirl outfit. Watch closely and you'll notice that her halves don't match, giving the sense that she is missing part of her body.

Mistake Continuity: When Supergirl crushes the rock, her hair is curly and messy. In the following shot it's brushed and straight.

Mistake Continuity: When the vortex breaks the window, the sound of glass breaking is heard but no glass pieces are seen. In a later shot, the floor is filled with tiny pieces of glass.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, Selena drives her car to the right side of the house. When the shot changes, the car is several feet further back and is now heading across the front of the entrance.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Selena visits the school, there's a tube reflected on her window. When her car starts to move we see it's part of an umbrella-like structure used for lighting.

Mistake Revealing: When Supergirl is passing by the town, flying towards the mountain, she flies very close to the ground but no one looks at her.

Mistake Revealing: When Supergirl flies out to fight the invisible monster, the shadow of the crane lifting her is reflected on the building.

Mistake Revealing: When Selena breaks the brick wall, the concrete holding it flutters, revealing it's a mere brown piece of fabric.

Mistake Continuity: After the red haired girl and her friend let go off the monkey wrench, they start jumping and end up close to a steel tank. In the following angle they've moved six feet back.

Mistake Revealing: When the invisible monster crushes Supergirl against a steel door, she flies to fight him and the wires holding her are visible.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Supergirl first starts "flying", her movements easily reveal the use of wires to give the effect.

Mistake Revealing: When Selena uses her magical powers to accelerate the fairground ride to superfast speed, the twinkling fairground lights in the background are also flashing much faster. They obviously played the tape back at high speed to achieve this.

Mistake Continuity: When Selena is holding the glass champagne and says "I can't wait 'till the world is mine", from a back shot her finger is below liquid level, in the following shot it is above it.

Mistake Continuity: Supergirl's bracelet swaps wrists while she's flying at night.

Mistake Continuity: When at home, Selena says that the world is at her wish and looks down at the bronze sculpture which she is holding close to her chin. In the following angle her hand swaps to stomach level.

Mistake Continuity: At Selena's picnic, the label of the champagne keeps turning to face the camera.

Mistake Continuity: While Selena is burning the chicken, in the close up shot big flames come out, but a split second later, from a different angle, there's just smoke.

Mistake Revealing: When Supergirl is writing her letter of recommendation at super speed, it's way too obvious that the scene's been speeded up in several takes because the leaves in the background move fast and in a very weird and unnatural way.

Mistake Revealing: When Supergirl falls on the planet ground and gets released from the mirror trap, she gets up and the hard floor stretches down, revealing it's a rubber mat to soften her fall.
