Spy Kids

Continuity mistake: At the safehouse, the amount of blanket that hangs over the edge of the top bunk bed changes back and forth throughout the scene. (00:39:05)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Robots Juni and Carmen appear, after Gregorio and Ingrid ascend into the opening above, and as they run up the wall and flip over a huge green work of art hangs on the corner wall at the left side of the screen. However, when robo-Carmen taunts Juni a smaller pink frilled work of art hangs on that very same corner wall. (01:13:20 - 01:14:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the safehouse, when Carmen reads from the book, "How To Be A Spy," the items on the table in front of her and Juni change, as well as the table behind them. (00:34:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen yells, "You're strong Juni!" after the extreme close-up of Juni's fist, in the next shot a specific piece of loose painted plaster falls from the top left corner of the hole, as his fist hits. However, in the next two shots of Juni, that piece of loose plaster is actually back up on the wall!! (01:15:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The robot children pass Carmen and Juni, who are hiding in a doorway in a specific area off the long corridor. However, when Carmen and Juni decide to follow the robots to try and find the dungeon, they run out of their hiding place from a completely different area along that corridor. (01:02:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Juni are getting into the boat/submarine for the first time, Juni can be seen sitting down in one shot, and then sits down again in the next shot. (00:21:50)

Continuity mistake: In the kids' room, when Ingrid approaches Juni to remind him about the wart medicine, Juni's red and yellow cars are on the blue dresser behind Ingrid. Then when Ingrid finishes telling the spy story, as she says, "Trading espionage for parenthood," the cars' positions differ, and when Juni says, "It needs monsters," they change position again. (00:01:05 - 00:06:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the kids in the Guppy zoom towards the boat, in the first shot facing the man in the boat, the large distinct building is clearly visible on shore in the background. Yet, in the following shot facing the front of the Guppy as they actually fly over, that building on shore is now behind the Guppy! Then in the next shot, at the same angle as the first, the shoreline is completely different. (00:23:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As Gregorio, Ingrid, Carmen and Juni take a stance together awaiting the robots, there is a close-up of Minion and there is no one at his right side. However in the previous and following shots the other men stand right beside Minion. (01:16:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: While tugging on the backpack with Juni, Ms. Gradenko bangs her head into the island counter at the safehouse, and the two tall stools in front of the counter are gone. However, in the next shot the two stools are back. (00:39:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Juni says, "This is the ventilator shaft, here," in the wide shots the map faces a particular way, however, in the close-up of the map with his right thumb, the map now faces the opposite way in his hands. (This has nothing to do with the angle of the camera.) (01:02:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ms. Gradenko walks into the safehouse, the table to Carmen's right is visible and there are no glasses on it. Though in many following shots, including just after Ms. Gradenko hits her head and falls, there are two glasses of milk and cookies on a tray sitting on that table. However, when Ms. Gradenko is hit with the BuddyPack and flies into the chair the glasses of milk are gone, but when Juni says, "Bad hair day!" the milk and cookies are back. (00:36:05 - 00:39:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Lisp is introduced to and then flipped by the robot of the president's daughter, Minion stands directly between the doors and the straw figure. However, in the next close-up he stands between the straw figure and the huge pineapple. (00:15:05)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Juni fly into the clothing store, Carmen drops her brother between clothing racks. Directly beside the mannequin there is a square shaped rack and two large circular racks to the left, which have no signs attached. However, when Carmen and Juni walk toward the entrance, as they pass the mannequin the square rack is gone and now there are two silver framed store signs attached to the center of the circular racks. (00:42:10 - 00:42:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In the robotics lab, when Gregorio and Ingrid chain Minion to the chair one of the colorful links is broken and the wire is visible, but in the following shots the chain's position differs. Then, as Minion presses the red button his suit and tie are quite messed up and the hat's black cord is to his left. Yet in the next shot when he releases the button his suit and tie are perfectly straight, the black cord is behind his head and it's obvious that the smoke comes from behind the chair! (01:11:05)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Ingrid and Gregorio toss their watches, passports, wallets, etc., onto the tray that a Thumb Thumb holds. The items' positions differ in consecutive shots. (00:26:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The size of "The World's Smallest Camera" changes sizes. In the shop when Machete is working on it Juni can't see it from several feet away. However, when Juni is sticking them on the walls in Floop's castle we can see one on the wall from about 12 feet away. Then when Carmen asks him what he was doing he holds up a bag of them and we see that they are about a centimeter in diameter. (00:51:15 - 01:01:00)

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the movie, when we see Floop's castle for the first time, the camera zooms in on it as Lisp welcomes the investors, and we see Floop looking out through his puzzle piece shaped window. The puzzle window Floop looks through in the exterior shot is completely different than the puzzle window in the interior shots. (00:13:05)

Continuity mistake: On the loudspeaker as Minion says, "All robots report to the grand room for a final demonstrationÂ…", the robots walk all the way down the long corridor in three shots. This is the same corridor that is directly outside the grand room in the following shots, even the paint markings on the walls are identical! When Carmen and Juni run into the grand room, obviously the long corridor behind them is clear, until moments later when the robots appear at the far end. (01:16:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Lifejackets appear magically on the two kids when they emerge from the inside of the weird bubble ship. When they re-enter, they magically disappear. Likely, they simply didn't want the actors to be on a boat without a lifejacket, but there could've been a more graceful way to do it. (00:22:50 - 00:24:05)
