Revealing mistake: When they get back from Bunyans and the garbage is on the floor, Chet runs to the bathroom. The family and Roman follow him, you see Dan do a 3 count for everyone to run back In screaming, the blocking of that shot included a gap that you could see them off camera right.
Continuity mistake: When the bear is pawing at the windshield the first time, he's using his left paw, but in the next shot, it's the right paw.
Other mistake: When John Candy starts the drag boat, upon the sound of the engine starting, water starts flowing from the exhaust pipes but the engine never turns over.

Continuity mistake: When Chet and Roman are talking at the beginning of the movie, Chet's Empire Strikes back glass turns from one shot to the next.
Continuity mistake: When Chet is pulling on the rope (thinking he's pulling up his nieces), the rope is over his left shoulder in long shots and his right in close up shots.
Continuity mistake: When Cara and Mara are at the cave and arguing about who gets to go first, the one without the flashlight goes in first, but when they're sliding down the cave, the one with the flashlight is first.
