During the scorpion/ant fight scene, the ant and scorpion are close to the same size. In reality the scorpion would exceed the ant by many times. The ant wouldn't be able to fight it, and the scorpion probably would hardly notice it was around. See more...

When the kids are riding along on the bug when they are shrunk, if you look really really closely you can see a member of the crew pulling it. [Please be more specific. At what point? I've watched the scene several times and at no point can a crew member be seen.]
After Matt Frewer sneaks a cigarette, he flicks it into his neighbors' yard, where it lands near the shrunken kids. In the next shot, an oversized prop cigarette flies toward the kids, but it's spinning in the opposite direction. [The cigarette appears to be spinning in the opposite direction because the kids are watching it from a different angle.]
When Amy walks toward Ron to offer him a truce, her hands are clean, but she somehow transfers mud to his hands when they shake. [No, if you look closely, you can see that Amy has a handful of mud as she is walking towards Ron.]
When the kids find one of Nick's legos in the yard it is very clear that it is only 2 holes up and 1 across. However when the scorpion atacks there is a shot from behind the lego brick and it has 3 holes up and 2 across. [Just as it should be if you look at a piece of lego.]
The kids are swept up into the dustpan and subsequently end up in the rubbish bag at the end of the garden, but when they cut open the bag to peer out they are clean as a whistle, not a speck of dust on them. [Of course there isn't. Relatively speaking a 'speck of dust' would be about the size of a basketball. How would it stick to them?]
Nick says "we're about an inch tall" and yet the ant, which is only a baby ant, is much longer than any of them. [He says "We're a quarter of an inch tall" when he's making his calculation of how far they are from the house.]
If the beam of the laser shrinks the first thing it hits, then why wouldn't the following string of events happen? 1. The kids' shirts shrink, since they are in immediate contact with the "laser." 2. The shirts would shrink and tear instantly since the kids are still wearing them. (And if the girl's bra is in the path of the "laser," that would be interesting to see!) 3. Then, since they are now in a direct path of the "laser," they would shrink, leaving them naked from the waste down. 4. Their first mission would be to free themselves from their clothing lying on top of them. [The laser is strong enough to go though their clothes and hit their bodies. Because if you were just shrinking the clothes it would be too light and would go right though.]
