Monsters, Inc.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mike and Sully are in the locker room after a day of scaring, discussing plans for the evening, George Sanderson's assistant is seen in the lower left side of the screen, having difficulties removing his helmet. In the scene immediately after, Mike and Sully are walking down a large hallway that leads to the Monsters Inc. main lobby. George's assistant is seen in the background in the hallway, wearing his helmet. Even in the shot where Roz is inquiring about Mike's paperwork in the lobby, the assistant is still seen crossing the lobby in the background, wearing his helmet.

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 we first see Waternoose, he says a single touch of a child could kill them. A yellow guy throws his pencil and pad forwards out of his hands. When Waternoose walks over to the three people, the pencil and pad has moved to the right of the yellow guy without ever being touched.

Audio problem: Jerry counts down from seven. When he has to say one his mouth opens, but he doesn't actually say one. (00:14:38)

Suggested correction: Many times when counting down, three-two-one is silent.

Especially when filming something like this, so the numbers aren't accidentally recorded.

Continuity mistake: When Mike is performing his standup routine in a boy's room near the end of the film, his eye quickly switches from green to blue, and then back to green right before he says "your room."

Continuity mistake: When Sully and Mike are practising, their chairs are switched. Sully's is on the right Mike's is the left. When they sit to watch the commercial, they are switched back.

Continuity mistake: When they go to the Scare Floor to put Boo back in her door, Mike swipes the card key and the numbers "240492" appear on screen. In the next shot, the numbers on screen are now "43496". (00:39:10)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In the apartment, Sulley leaves a trail of Kreature Krisp for Boo to follow. The first one he places is white, which becomes green in the next shot. It's obviously the same one in both shots because of its position in the doorway. (00:31:00)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Two people put an employee of the month picture of Mike and Sulley on the wall. The photo is noticeably crooked. In the shots of the two people talking to Mike and Sulley, the photo is correctly positioned without being touched.

Casual Person

Henry J. Waternoose: There's nothing more toxic or deadly than a human child. A single touch could kill you. Leave a door open, and one can walk right into this factory; right into the monster world.
Trainee: I won't go into a kid's room. You can't make me.
Henry J. Waternoose: You're going in there, because we need this. Our city is counting on you to collect those screams. Without scream, we have no power. Yes, it's dangerous work, and that's why I need you to be at your best. I need scarers who are confident, tenacious, tough, intimidating. I need scarers like... like... James P. Sullivan.

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: Why does Sully get surprised at the end of the movie when he sees Boo?

Answer: He's not as much surprised as he is pleased to see her. She's going to be a little older than when he last saw her because it took Mike so long to rebuild the door. So if he's surprised, it may be at how much she's grown in that time period.
