Continuity mistake: When at the Men's Association, Mike Wellington raises a glass and toasts Stepford. He does this with his left hand.

But when the shot changes back to Mike, the glass is now in his right hand, with no time between shots to change hands.

Audio problem: When Joanna goes to The Simply Stepford Day Spa, Clair begins her Clairobics, and says, "Come on Joanna." Behind Joanna, Clair's reflection shows her telling everyone to do the "spin cycle" but she isn't heard. Then in the shot facing Clair, she again tells them to do the spin cycle.

Walter Kresby: First of all we are in the country now, so no more black.
Joanna Eberhart: No more black? Are you insane?
Walter Kresby: You heard me. Only high-powered, neurotic, castrating, Manhattan career bitches wear black. Is that what you want to be?
Joanna Eberhart: Ever since I was a little girl.
