Directed by: John Pasquin
Starring: Tim Allen, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, Eric Lloyd
Visible crew/equipment: When the Elves fly off the roof with Charlie, a wire aiding in their takeoff is visible under one of them.
Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning right when we see Charlie in the back of the car, the camera shadow creeps onto the vehicle as its moving.
Continuity mistake: After giving Scott his business card, Neal puts his wallet in his pocket twice.
Trivia: Not a mistake, but another elf sighting within the movie. In the Parent's Day scene in Charlie's classroom, watch the boy sitting directly behind Charlie in the blue shirt. When Charlie walks back to his desk to retrieve his glass ball to show everyone, you can see the boy's pointed ears. Another note of interest is when Charlie says "my Dad is Santa Claus" and it cuts to a wide shot showing all of the kids, this kid is the only one not laughing.
Answer: Because Neil thinks Charlie is old enough now that he should no longer believe in fantasy figures like Santa Claus.
