Other mistake: Near the end of the film, when the identity of 0001 of the CDA is revealed, number 0112 is shown both standing next to 0001 as Roz enters the room and behind Sully and Mike on the opposite side of the room. (01:16:45)

Other mistake: When Sulley and Mike take Boo into the Factory, they see all of the CDA agents. There are 3 talking to Mr. Waternoose(as we see seconds later). One of them is number 00002. When they are done, they escort Mr. Waternoose to somewhere else. However at that very second another agent comes in with a metal detector thing. His number is also 00002. (00:35:20 - 00:36:10)

Other mistake: In the scene where Mike and Sully walk in on the CDA overrunning the power company, there is a CDA agent with number 00112 behind the main desk, and another with the same number talking to the boss a second later. (00:35:10)

Other mistake: In the scaring simulation room, the alphabet wallpaper border at the top of the wall has the "J" written backwards.

Suggested correction: The walls of the room also have nonsensical drawings like a giraffe with two heads. The implication is that the monsters designing the room didn't entirely know what kids would actually have in rooms (like they didn't know that giraffes don't actually have two heads). So they thought that humans have the J backwards.

Whether or not the backwards J was intentional or as a joke, it would still seem unreasonable for the monsters to get it wrong when you see they got the pictures for each letter seen correct "jaguar", "kangaroo "pig", "quail", "rhino." I would at the very least call it a character mistake.

As the original correction said, it's just an example of the monsters not understanding the human world. Not a mistake.

Yet they know the alphabet? I doubt it.

Other mistake: In the door vault scene, Boo's laughter causes all the red lights on the doors to generate and fully power. Unlike the other two scenes - back at the apartment and the trash compactor - this resulted in a blackout. (01:09:09)

Suggested correction: In the house and at the compactor, it caused an overload. This resulted in a blackout. The doors seem to work differently.

Other mistake: The scare leaderboard shows scarers by their surnames, except Randall, who is shown by his first name only.

Continuity mistake: When Sulley places the menu on the table he puts it face down (logo first), then when he lifts up the table, to quickly get Boo, the menu is face up. (00:26:05)

Randall: If I don't see a door in my station in 5 seconds, I will personally put you through the shredder.

Trivia: Boo's real name is Mary, the same as the young girl, Mary Gibbs, who voices Boo. This is only just visible on one of the drawings Boo makes in Mike and Sulley's apartment.

Question: At the end of the movie, Fungus is seen amongst the employees promoting doing fun stuff, but since he is seen assisting Randall, and generally helping him and Waternoose with the scream machine earlier on, shouldn't he have been banished (like Randall) or hauled off by the CDA (like Waternoose) when the whole plan came to the CDA's attention?

Answer: Fungus was an unwilling lackey, not a co-conspirator.
