Continuity mistake: When the guys are in the room eavesdropping on what the alien leader has to say, one alien holding a glass bowl walks in on them. In this shot, Frank's wolleen hat is off.

Continuity mistake: In the vomit section: when they take the bucket to the boss, there are pieces of food on the top of vomit although they weren't there when they toke the bucket off, and the amount of vomit seems to be always the same when they drink it. (00:46:55)
