Entry When Helen visits Edna's secret lab she is given a cup of tea. However, it never shows it again. [After seeing Jack Jack's suit Helen puts her cup of tea down on the tray, it can be seen in the shots after that.]
Entry When Bob stops the train, it forms a triangle in the air. When you see the picture on the newspaper when he is sued the height of the train is much steeper. [The train most likely shifted somewhat between the time the train stopped and the time the picture was taken. After all, it was balanced very precariously.]
Entry When Violet first holds her costume, she turns just her left hand invisible, then touches the costume. The entire costume turns invisible, including the part she is holding with her right hand. This would seem to mean that if, while wearing the costume, she were to turn one part of her body invisible, her entire costume would turn invisible, rendering her effectively nude. It seems an odd design. I guess Edna didn't think of everything. [Her right hand wasn't IN the suit, it was on it and maybe that is the difference. And with a suit that turns invisible with you, why would you want to turn only one bodypart invisible?]
Entry Just after Dash is riding on Frozone's back and the robot jumps into the water, there is a big wave and Dash and Frozone jump into the air. Frozone then freezes the wave in the air, and it turns into snow which falls to the ground for Dash to fall safely on. Either Dash would have landed painfully before the snow hit the ground or the snow would have hit Dash as it fell, covering him in snow. [Frozone's power isn't simply the ability to freeze water. He must also be able to move water molecules through the air in order to have enough of them available to form solid walls of ice out of thin air. Since he can control the movement of water molecules, he should be able to move the snow ahead of Dash to avoid a painful landing and simultaneously move the snow around Dash to ensure that Dash does not obstruct the snow that will cushion his fall.]
Entry In the scene when Dash spits out the water, if you look at the water in mid-air, at the end of the spit there is a drop separated from the rest, but when Frozone freezes the water, there is only a full icicle and no drop of water hits the ground. [Water expands when freezing, and its also possible Frozone froze some moisture present in the air as well, so together they could form one icicle.]
Entry In the battle scene when it is the Incredibles and Frozone versus the robot, Frozone gives Dash a ride to escape the robot that is trying to roll over them. Frozone freezes the giant wave of water into snow. Later in the scene the robot gets destroyed and falls over. When it does, the snow that was there from the wave is suddenly water again. No matter what, snow doesn't melt that fast under normal day conditions. [We don't know how Frozone's ice power works. In the start of the movie when he is using his ice to get around (before the wedding), it melts really fast, after he is finished with it.]
Entry During the title credits, turn it on French and you will see that it tells you that the film is called "Les Incroyable". "Incroyable" is singular, not plural, so it should be "Les Incroyables". [The translation is correct. In French, family names never take the plural -s, regardless of whether they refer to a group/collective entity (couple or family). If you wanted to ask Bomb Voyage and his wife to dinner, you'd address the invitation to "les Voyage". Likewise, if you wanted to name a movie about Mr. Incredible and his family, you'd definitely call it "les Incroyable".]
Entry When the plane is destroyed by rockets, Helen transforms herself into a parachute to save the kids from falling. So as they descend slowly into the sea she starts to talk to the kids, but after all that (which is 30-40 seconds after the rocket hit) finally the huge part of the plane falls into the ocean. What exactly is the destroyed plane doing in the air so long? Gravity surely works another way. This is obviously deliberately done for the drama. [Some of the debris from the aircraft will be impelled upwards, both by the warheads of the missiles and the exploding fuel tanks of the jet itself. This particular piece of the fuselage went up and then came down, in about the same time the parachuting family did.]
Entry Whenever we see one or more of the Incredibles wearing a mask, when they blink their eyelids are black as if the mask covers their eyelids. [Considering the type of suits Edna Mode can make, is it really such a stretch that she can make masks that cover the eyelids as well? It does help camoflauge.]
Entry When it shows the details for the Omnidroid in Mirage's video, it says Omnidroid 7. Later she calls it the Omnidroid 9000 at the briefing. Then when he is fighting the first Omnidroid, the side of the robot says Omnidroid 8. While the discrepancy between 7 and 8 can be explained, there is no reason that Mirage would screw up the production number and number format. [While the actual technical name of the machine is the Omnidroid 9000, possibly named for it's computer drive, or some other feature, it is not unlikley that they would put a separate number on each bot, so they would know easily which robot is which in the sequence-i.e. An Omnidroid 9000, and the eighth Omnidorid made. Meanwhile the 7 and 8 could just be because of old information still on the computer from the last super.]
Entry When Mr. Incredible fights the Omnidroid, the robot cuts his suit near the shoulder. When Helen notices the stitching later on, the cut is now towards the elbow. [The cut is inflicted at mid-bicep level. The repair is also at mid-bicep level.]
Entry When Mr. Incredible first fights the Omnidroid, his suit gets cut by the robot. What takes him so long to realize he needs to get it fixed. Assuming he took his suit to every "meeting" and used it for a job, he would have realized the cut and gotten it fixed sooner. [Mr. Incredible goes to exactly two meetings with his new employers and only wears the original suit to the first one. After the first job he uses the time normally spent at the Insuricare job to work out in the train yard, returning home at 5 so his wife doesn't notice anything different. Getting the cut fixed isn't emergent at all.]
Entry When Bob cuts Dash's plate into pieces, the table isn't harmed at all, but Bob says, "First the car, now I gotta fix the table." [We don't SEE the table being harmed because of the things in the way, but in the next shot, the knife is quite stuck in the table as it's standing up by itself (as if it's been pushed deep into the table).]
Entry As Mr. Incredible is scanning the files of the superheroes, the photos show them from 15 years earlier. However, Frozone's picture shows him with his goatee as he currently is, not clean-shaven as he was then. [As beards are not particularly difficult to grow and shave off, it's not unreasonable to think that Frozone might have had the beard at some point during his earlier career.]
Entry When Helen is sneaking into Syndrome's headquarters she narrowly misses being hit by a pod/vehicle. Every other pod/vehicle has had people aboard, so the guards on duty in the pod would have seen that a super was in the building and they would have told Syndrome. [The guards wouldn't have warned anyone if they hadn't have seen her. They didn't have to pay attention to steer the vehicle. They were probably just talking to each other, not thinking anyone else was on the island but them, so they could have easily missed seeing her.]
Entry In the scene where Helen goes to the principal's office, she doesn't have the baby with her, but in the next scene, driving home with Dash, the baby is in the backseat. [This has already been corrected. Helen leaves the baby in the back seat while she goes into the school to talk to the principal. It's Helen's (rather severe) parenting mistake, not a movie mistake.]
Entry When Helen and the kids narrowly escape the exploding plane, Helen does not grab the bag that held her super-suit. She doesn't have it when they are falling or parachuting to the ocean. Yet when the 3 are using Helen and Dash as a makeshift speedboat, the bag is in the boat, and it also appears later in the cave. They could have salvaged it from the water, but its doubtful the bag would have survived the explosion. [Helen, Violet and Dash also were in the plane when it exploded and they survived intact. So it's also possible the bag survived the explosion and was salvaged from the water.]
Entry The robot slashes Mr. Incredible's arm, leaving a big cut, but the cut doesn't bleed. [According to Syndrome's log of Supers' powers, one of Mr. Incredible's powers is resistance to physical injury. The cut breaks the suit but doesn't break his skin.]
Entry In the scene in which Kari is reassuring Elastigirl that she can "totally handle anything this baby can dish out", Kari starts talking to Jack-Jack (as Elastigirl listens) and then the missile alert sounds. However, in the short "Jack-Jack Attack", the beeping starts earlier, while Kari is still talking to Jack-Jack, and Elastigirl hangs up more quickly. [This mistake compares the film to the short, thus making it an invalid movie mistake.]
Entry Violet's headband wasn't made by Edna, so it shouldn't disappear. However, it always goes invisible whenever she does. If her parents had it made by some other costume designer, why didn't they go the whole hog and get her entire wardrobe made up to disappear when she does - it makes no sense to just do her hairband. [Violet doesn't wear a headband until after she dons the costume that Edna made for her. Given that it appeared at that point, does vanish when she does, and that the colour appears to precisely match the colour used for the costume belts, it seems fairly clear that Edna did make the headband.]
