Continuity mistake: When Bob is in his cubicle before Mr. Huff shows, the pencil holder is on the left side of the desk, next to the computer. When Bob jumps up, but before the pencil holder's knocked down, it's in the middle of the desk. Then when he picks it up it's closer to the phone, but still in the middle of the desk. As Mr. Huff turns to leave, it's still there. But when the camera cuts to an overhead shot, the pencil holder's jumped to the opposite side of the phone, perched on the edge of the desk, where it falls to the floor. (00:13:15)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Hugh is coming into Bob's office, you can see, as he is coming in, that the glass separating Mr. Incredible's cubicle from the hallway has two seperate openings. This is visible both immediately before and immediately after Mr. Hugh walks through the doorway. In all other shots, however, The glass is one continuous pane. (00:13:05)

Continuity mistake: When Frozone picks up Mr. Incredible to "go bowling", the green glass lying on the table on the left hand side of Violet keeps swapping sides between one shot and the other - sometimes its open end faces Dash, and sometimes it faces the entrance door.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible lands on the railway and it explodes, the rubble and debris that falls disappears and reappears between shots. Furthermore, when he stands up to stop the train, the aerial view shows cars driving along the street as if nothing ever fell. With the amount of rubble falling, it should be visible on the street and have caused some traffic problems.

Continuity mistake: In the dinner table scene, when the family "cleans up" in order to answer the door, Dash's hair is all frizzled and standing up from running around and fighting with Violet. When Lucius shows up, Dash spits some water into the air for Lucius to freeze. Dash then says, "Aww, I like it when it shatters." In that one quick cut, Dash's hair is all neat, almost no hairs frizzled. In all subsequent shots of Dash, his hair's all frizzled again.

Chris Moyer Grice

Continuity mistake: When Bob stands up in the jewelry store, he is right next to a jewel display. When the alarm rings, he's almost two meters away from it. He didn't have the time to move. (00:23:10)

Continuity mistake: When Helen is going to place the supersuits in her luggage, there is a few centimeters between the one that she grabs and the others but they are much closer in the next shot. (01:03:55)

Dr Wilson

Continuity mistake: When Helen is floating in the ocean, her hair got wet and it straightened out. When she was in the shape of the boat, and after they got to land, her hair was in the regular style; both the water and the strong wind would have caused her hair to be messed up.

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Dash and Elastigirl in the principal's office, Dash's shirt keeps changing between shots. First it has a strange "X"-shaped fold on it, then it changes to relatively smooth, then BACK to the "X", and so on.

Suggested correction: Dash was only bending over and in the next shot he is sitting straight so he unwrinkled his shirt without noticing.

Continuity mistake: When at the end, the Omni-Droid is walking past Frozone's apartment and he is putting on the aftershave, he turns around looking for his Super Suit and the aftershave bottle turns itself around.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible and Mirage are having dinner next to the wall of fire, the long shot shows them at opposite ends of a very long table. All of the following close up shots of Mirage, shown over Mr. Incredible's shoulder, show them as being much closer together, at a much smaller table. (00:40:50)

Continuity mistake: At the dinner table when Dash and Violet are fighting and Bob intervenes by lifting the table, the lamp above is not moving. Even after Frozone comes to the door and Bob lowers the table and they all get back into place, the lamp still hasn't moved. The shot switches to Frozone, then back to the table where suddenly the lamp is moving and Helen reaches up real fast to stop it from moving.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible is packing his suitcase just before he goes to Edna's to fix his old supersuit, the formal suit is blue, but later on just before he leaves and Helen tells him, "Have a great day honey" his formal suit turns black. (00:42:48)

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible lands on the train tracks after trying to get the bomb off Syndrome that Bomb Voyage puts on him, underneath the tracks in the first shot there is no traffic but in the next shot when the train is coming, the shot zooms out and traffic just magically appears out of nowhere. (00:08:07)

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible opens the window of the RV when the family are flying to the city to save it, you can see lots of paperwork flying about the cabin and exiting the now-open window. However, when the camera does the outside shot of the RV in flight, there's no paper.

GalahadFairlight

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bob and Helen are arguing after the rescue, when Helen says "Tell me you haven't been listening to police scanners again?", she puts her hand on her head. In the next shot, her arm is down by her side.

Revealing mistake: After Helen finds the hair on Bob's suit, she goes to him while he is in the car and says," Have a great trip. I love you, so much.", Bob backs the car out of the driveway. He backs out and turns, but you can see his hand on the top of the steering wheel doesn't move. (00:47:05)

Edna Mode: What are you talking about? You are Elastigirl, my god, pull yourself together! What is this, some sort of question? He has reminded you he is Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who you are! So, you need to fight, then go, fight, win! And call me when you get back, darling, because I love frequent visits.

Question: Can someone please explain to me what Violet says when she frees them from the prison? No matter how many times I see this movie, I still don't get it.

Brad

Chosen answer: She says "Well, I think Dad has made excellent progress today, but I think it's time we wind down now". It's a joke, pretending to be winding down a counselling session, based on the fact that her father has been baring his soul a bit while imprisoned.
