Continuity mistake: When Jimmy and the rest of the kids are standing on the balcony, Jimmy asks Goddard to activate his binoscope so they can get a better view of the arena. Goddard then extends his eyes into tubes and raises them. However, in the next shot, his eyes are raised but not extended into tubes yet. They also take on a different shape than in the previous shot. (01:04:53)
