Bob Parr: Do you want to catch a robber?

Frozone: No. To tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling. Look, what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing, just to shake things up.

After Bob gets back home from "re-living the glory days", you can see a barbecue in the back yard and it is on the cement deck. But at the end of the scene, when the camera shows an aerial view of the house, the barbecue is on the grass. See more...

Trivia

Originally, an old man named Snug Porter was going to fly the plane that Helen flew to Syndrome's HQ. In the first script the favor she called in for was for him to fly her to HQ, not just lend her a plane. When the explosion blew up the plane it was implied that he didn't survive. They cut the scene because they couldn't give him enough screen time to make the audience sad when he died. You see one shot of him when Elastigirl picks up the photo while she is on the phone. He is also in the background of the wedding scene. The entire cut sequence can be seen in its basic storyboard form on the DVD extras.

Syndrome was originally going to be named "Xerek". It was changed because they were afraid the voice actors wouldn't be able to pronounce it.

The kid on the tricycle is an inside joke representing the real life personality of John Lasseter, the chief creative officer at both Pixar and Walt Disney Feature Animation. During production of his films, he is usually waiting for something amazing to happen in regards to the animation or special effects, and later (during production) has been heard several times to remark of such amazing results as "totally wicked".

The family's last name, Parr, was chosen on purpose, as it sounds exactly like the golf term "par" - which means average. This was done as a clever pun to further point out that Bob literally went from an "Incredible" to "Average" when superhero work was banned.

Craig T. Nelson is the voice of Bob Parr. When he accidentally breaks the car door and mutters to himself, you can hear him saying "Oh geez." This was written in once Nelson was cast as Bob Parr, as this is a phrase of frustration commonly used by Nelson's character on the "Coach" show.

The main characters' powers have counterparts in the Marvel and DC comics: Mr. Incredible has super-strength and invulnerability like the Incredible Hulk (though with more brains); Elastigirl is the female version of DC Comic's Elongated Man (or Marvel's Mr. Fantastic); Dash with his power and uniform resembles the Flash; Violet has the basic powers - invisibility and force field generation - like Marvel Comic's Invisible Woman; and Frozone resembles Iceman, at least in the use of his powers.

Some of the characters in this film bear visible likenesses to other famous villains. Bomb Voyage, the french villain at the beginning, looks almost exactly like the Joker, and the Underminer at the end of the film acts and appears in almost exactly the same way the Mole Man did in the Fantastic Four comic books.

The scene where the guards in the flying discs chase Dash through the forest, is much like the speeder-bike chase scene in Return of the Jedi. The same camera angles, sounds, and Dash uses the vines the way the Ewok on the bike did.

During the chase scene when the disc-like aircraft of Syndrome are hunting Dash, for a short time it sounds exactly like the pod-racers from "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace". They then change to sound like the speeder bikes from Return of the Jedi.
