At the end, Bob throws Helen to catch the falling Jack-jack. After that, she transforms herself into a parachute. In the next shot, when Syndrome shouts down from the plane to Bob, "parachute/mom" disappears. But after the plane crashes, she is back again. ["Parachute/mom" doesn't disappear. You can see a bit of her suit faintly on the right side of the screen.]
In the scene where the Parr family are rowing towards the start, Bob Parr cuts through Dash's steak and the table. In a later shot you see that the steak is now fully intact. [Bob Parr gives Dash his own steak as he cut Dash's plate up. The intact steak is just Bob's plate which he moved.]
In Dash's chase scene, when he got trapped in the cave. He was able to stand on water. [I have to assume you're talking about the moment just before the ships crash into each other. You'll notice that he falls into the water just before they do, ~because~ he stopped. The momentary pause can be explained because he was going so fast that he couldn't completely stop right away, even though he wasn't running anymore.]
When Mr. Incredible is talking to the man who helps the Supers disappear, they walk to an elevator and the light above indicates the second floor. A few shots later when the doors close, the light has changed to the fifth floor and starts going down (4th, 3rd, etc). [It's not uncommon for older elevators to show what floor the car is actually on. When they walk up it shows 2. The man pushes the call (down) button and while they're talking it comes up to 5. After he gets in it goes down (4, 3, etc.).]
Interesting sideline, Edna Mode, the "costume designer for the supers" is patterned after Edith Head, the costume designer of the stars for hundreds of movies. She died a couple of decades ago, but this is a homage, right down to the hair style; height; and round hornrimmed glasses,to a very well known designer, who even used some of the lines given to Edna in the movie. [This is not so, according to Brad Bird: 'Well, we certainly looked at Edith Head. But there are actually a lot of female fashion designers, if you research it, that have giant glasses. But also, Patricia Highsmith was an influence... and Linda Hunt. When you're designing a character, you're just saying - who is that? We have drawings and you can see them in 'the art of...' book where she's taller and fatter and older and younger and thin. We tried a lot of stuff and we kept saying no, no, more like this, but I like the nose on this one, and maybe the pageboy cut, maybe glasses should be bigger. Okay, make 'em bigger. . . and you end up with something that reminds you of Edith Head and you of Linda Hunt.']

If Syndrome knew so much about Mr. Incredible(where he lived, what his true identity was, etc.), as well as finding out about Jack-jack, how could he not know about the fact that Elastigirl married Mr. Incredible and had two other children? [Syndrome hadn't found Elastigirl, so she must have kept her identity better hidden. There's nothing to say that he knew exactly where Mr. Incredible lived, just where he could easily be found, so his family could easily have remained a secret (recall he is first contacted via his office). Syndrome is "defeated" by the Incredibles later on giving him more incentive to get revenge, and presumably the first thing he did was to find out where they lived, which led him to Jack-Jack.]
When Mrs. Incredible and the kids are shot down, they are shown in the water and her hair is a mess. But soon after they arrive on shore, her hair is as perfect as it was before being shot down. [Elastigirl can stretch and form her body as she wishes, in the blink of an eye. It is not unlikely that this applies to her hair as well.]

When Mr. Incredible is trying to find Syndrome's computer mainframe, he runs through the lava walls and starts sweating profusely. However, Mirage walked through the same walls earlier without sweating at all. [He's not sweating because the walls are hot, he's sweating because he's running hard to prevent the walls closing in on him. Mirage didn't have to run.]

When Mr. Incredible slams the car door and breaks the driver's window, it is seen to shatter and fall out of the door as regular window glass would. But automobile window glass is manufactured so that it does not separate into pieces even when shattered. [You're thinking of the windshield, which is usually a laminated glass preventing it from falling apatr and providing better safety. The side windows, on the other hand are not always made that way. I know for a fact that my brother once accidentally shattered the car door window in our old car and it most definitely fell to pieces. It's tempered so that it doesn't make the dangerous edges that other glasses do, but it falls apart to make it easier for rescue workers to get inside the car after an accident if the door won't open.]

Nothing was explained where super-villains go when the superheroes were retired. Presumably the government could not just herd them up with the heroes - if it could, the government have just used the same technique to arrest them all for being villains. It is a very bad plot hole because, if there had been other villains around, Syndrome could have fought them to gain recognition as a hero rather than devising his evil plot. [Realize first that it's been about 20 years, counting the trials, since the superheroes have been allowed to save people. So, guys like Bomb Voyage may have retired for various reasons (no challenge anymore, too old, etc.). Also, some of them are dead, again for various reasons (showdowns with the government, rogue heroes that didn't listen to the government, etc.). Also, we don't know that Syndrome tested his Omnidroids exclusively on heroes; he may have "hired" a few villains for the project. Finally, guys like the Underminer and anyone else that would emerge were probably too young to become villains when all of the trouble started at the beginning of the film.]
Violet's hair part changes from one side to the other throughout the film. [Violet uses her hair to hide her face, because she is shy. If she decides to change it during the movie, it is no mistake. She also has plenty of opportunities to do so. In the end, she has even got over her shyness and wears her hair back.]

When Helen is in the plane with Dash and Violet going to save Bob, homing missiles come towards them. Helen presses the button to tell the kids to put their seat belts on. A few seconds later they're bouncing around in their seats shouting. [Dash and Violet don't get their seat belts on in time. If you look, you'll see that Dash stood still while Violet jumped in the seat, and fished around for the belt. In the next shot, Elastigirl starts using evasive maneuvers in the plane.]
Near the start of the film when Violet sees Tony coming out of school, she uses her powers to disappear. The only problem is the books she is holding disappear with her. [That's not true - the book in her hands as well as her clothing are still there and visible. Only Violet's head and hands disappear.]
When Bob (Mr. Incredible) walks down the aisle to Helen (Elastigirl) when they get married, there is no one sitting watching them getting married. When they finally get married, there is a crowd of people clapping their hands. [There are people/superheros sitting to the left of Helen as Bob walks down the aisle. You can barely make out the silhouette of the person closest to Helen plus other random shapes of people - they are mostly blackened out.]
It is established that Frozone needs water to create ice, it is also established that he can use the water in the air to create ice as well, so why when he is being held at gunpoint by police officers does he need to get a drink before he can use his power? [He says while in the burning building that he's dehydrated, which coupled with the reduction in water vapour due to the fire means he needs another source.]
When Bob (AKA Mr. Incredible) drives home in his tiny car at the beginning, he bends the metal of the car. After bending the metal he slams the door of the car so hard he shatters the window. In the next scene with the car, the window is completely intact, whilst the metal is still bent. [The next scene with the car is a different day. He could have replaced the window.]
