Continuity mistake: When Mr. Fantastic is writing a problem on his chalkboard, right before the camera switches to Von Doom picking at his scar, you can see that Mr. Fantastic already wrote 4= Sxlo -4 and underlined it. When the camera goes back to Mr. Fantastic after the picking of the scar, he is now writing 4= Sxlo -4 and underlining it. (00:51:05)

Continuity mistake: When the blind woman is leaving the pub, her seeing-eye assistant is bringing her to the door. The woman turns around to say goodbye to The Thing again, her whole body is facing him. When the shot goes to Thing's face & then back to her, she is looking over her shoulder at him. (01:05:50)

Continuity mistake: There is a boat coming into shot just as the ladder on the fire truck stops extending over the river. The boat is not seen in any other shots.

Revealing mistake: When Victor Von Doom is shown proposing to Sue Storm in the space station, for a short moment you can see a reflection of the blue screens they used to create "space".

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mr Fantastic walks in on Invisible Girl as she steps out of the shower, we see her covering up with a red towel, but in the next shot, it's a brown towel. (00:55:45)

Factual error: When Reed and Sue are testing the Human Torch's powers, they claim that a temperature as high as the Human Torch's (5000 K to 6000 K) will "ignite the atmosphere and destroy all life". This is incorrect. Many experiments in the lab and on the field have produced temperatures several orders of magnitude larger than the temperature of the Human Torch on a similar scale. Nuclear explosions can generate temperatures in excess of 8000000 K, and temperatures produced by the largest X-ray generator (the Z machine) have been as high as 3700000000 K. Such tests have not ignited the atmosphere.

Other mistake: Julian McMahon's real Australian accent slips through when his assistant asks him if he should rest and McMahon says, "Later. First I have some unfinished business to attend to."

Continuity mistake: Just after Ben has been in the machine and is turned back to normal, Victor attacks Reed and knocks him through the window. The amount and shape of the glass that is still in the window has changed.

Other mistake: Johnny picks up Sue's clothes and hides them in his jacket after she strips on the bridge, but when the shot changes to the stunned crowd, we can see Reed and Johnny running off to the left. From the way Johnny's arms are moving, you can tell he is no longer holding the clothes.

Susan Storm: You were at 4,000° Kelvin! You were approaching supernova!
Johnny Storm: Sweet!
Susan Storm: No, not "sweet"! That's the heat of the sun!
Reed Richards: You could kill yourself, other people, and burn up the atmosphere, ending all human life as we know it.
Johnny Storm: Got it. Supernova bad.

Question: During the final fight Mr. Fantastic makes a remark about hot metal cooling fast, what is this about?

Answer: Ever see Aliens 3? When a metal gets hot, it expands. When it suddenly cools, it doesn't contract evenly and often shatters or pops. It would seem he was made of a tougher metal than we thought, as he's still in one piece, but immobilised (for the moment...).
