Continuity mistake: When Champion receives the dog, the alignment of the box changes after the first shot. (00:05:10)

Continuity mistake: In the hamburger scene, the cucumber slice on the hamburger appears and disappears between subsequent shots. (00:36:05)

Trivia: Chapter 17: At home with the Triplets. After entering the apartment building, the Triplets, Madame Souza, and Bruno climb multiple flights of stairs. On their right, they pass a bathroom with an open door with flies swarming about, taking off then landing again on the contents of an unflushed toilet. If you glance at the turd in the bowl, you will see that it is in the shape of a most famous mouse. (00:41:15)
