Corrected entry: In the scene where the Parr family are rowing towards the start, Bob Parr cuts through Dash's steak and the table. In a later shot you see that the steak is now fully intact.
Corrected entry: In Dash's chase scene, when he got trapped in the cave. He was able to stand on water.
Correction: I have to assume you're talking about the moment just before the ships crash into each other. You'll notice that he falls into the water just before they do, ~because~ he stopped. The momentary pause can be explained because he was going so fast that he couldn't completely stop right away, even though he wasn't running anymore.
Corrected entry: When Mr. Incredible is talking to the man who helps the Supers disappear, they walk to an elevator and the light above indicates the second floor. A few shots later when the doors close, the light has changed to the fifth floor and starts going down (4th, 3rd, etc).
Correction: It's not uncommon for older elevators to show what floor the car is actually on. When they walk up it shows 2. The man pushes the call (down) button and while they're talking it comes up to 5. After he gets in it goes down (4, 3, etc.).
Corrected entry: Near the start of the film when Violet sees Tony coming out of school, she uses her powers to disappear. The only problem is the books she is holding disappear with her.
Correction: That's not true - the book in her hands as well as her clothing are still there and visible. Only Violet's head and hands disappear.
Corrected entry: When Bob (AKA Mr. Incredible) drives home in his tiny car at the beginning, he bends the metal of the car. After bending the metal he slams the door of the car so hard he shatters the window. In the next scene with the car, the window is completely intact, whilst the metal is still bent.
Correction: The next scene with the car is a different day. He could have replaced the window.
Corrected entry: Violet's headband wasn't made by Edna, so it shouldn't disappear. However, it always goes invisible whenever she does. If her parents had it made by some other costume designer, why didn't they go the whole hog and get her entire wardrobe made up to disappear when she does - it makes no sense to just do her hairband.
Correction: Violet doesn't wear a headband until after she dons the costume that Edna made for her. Given that it appeared at that point, does vanish when she does, and that the colour appears to precisely match the colour used for the costume belts, it seems fairly clear that Edna did make the headband.
Corrected entry: The Parrs fly back to the town using the spare rocket. This would actually be a very bad idea, since the rocket was not designed to carry humans. As shown earlier when launching the Omnidroid, the rocket actually goes through space, before detaching the glider with the Omnidroid. Now if they plot the same course with the spare rocket, the Parrs would've died in space, since neither the rocket nor the van would protect them from the cold and the vacuum. Now one could argue that Violet used a force field to protect them, but as the movie established earlier, she's unable to produce such a large force field. She not only has to encapsulate the van but the entire rocket to protect everyone, since Helen is clinging onto the glider. And even if we assume that she is capable of such a force field, she would have to keep it up until they successfully reentered the atmosphere. But by encapsulating the whole glider with a force field, it would lose any aerodynamics, causing the whole thing to just tumble straight down, instead of a controlled flight. No matter how you look at it, they could not survive using the rocket.
Corrected entry: When Bob arrives at Edna's, she makes the comment "my god, you've gotten fat." However, this takes place after the montage where he works out to get back into shape.
Correction: While it is true that this occurs after Mr. Incredible has begun losing weight, he is still much heavier than when he was in his prime. As Edna most likely last saw him before the supers went into hiding, she is comparing as he is now to what she remembers from then.
Corrected entry: When Helen and the kids narrowly escape the exploding plane, Helen does not grab the bag that held her super-suit. She doesn't have it when they are falling or parachuting to the ocean. Yet when the 3 are using Helen and Dash as a makeshift speedboat, the bag is in the boat, and it also appears later in the cave. They could have salvaged it from the water, but its doubtful the bag would have survived the explosion.
Correction: Helen, Violet and Dash also were in the plane when it exploded and they survived intact. So it's also possible the bag survived the explosion and was salvaged from the water.
Corrected entry: During Bob and Helen's wedding, Stratogirl is sitting in the audience. However, later in the movie Edna reminds Bob that she died when her cape caught on something. Stratogirl died in April '57, which is before the wedding took place. (00:10:00 - 00:45:25)
Correction: It is never established when the film is set. The only years mentioned in the entire film are the dates that E lists with the superhero deaths.
Correction: I'm not sure if the first correction was trying to say we don't know when they got married, but we know it was before 1957. The comment is correct that the film takes place in 1962, when Violet and Dash are 14 and 10, meaning they were born in 1948 and 1952. There's nothing to indicate they got married more than 5 years after Dash was born and it's more probable that they were married before 1948.
Corrected entry: When the aeroplane exploded over the ocean, Helen and her children landed. Then, Helen turned into a parachute and descended into the sea slowly. It became clear that the parts of the plane were still descending, and according to free fall and gravity, the pieces of the plane should have fallen before Helen. (01:10:20 - 01:10:50)
Correction: But as the plane exploded, no doubt some pieces were thrown high into the air, so would take longer to then fall back down.
Corrected entry: When Mr. Incredible stops, the train the light from the trains brightly shines on him, but when the lights and headlights go out, the light that is on him doesn't disappear.
Correction: That's not what happens in the scene. After the light on the train goes out, Mr. Incredible has also slipped down some and now it is the several street lamps that are shinning on him.
Corrected entry: When the train is going to hit Mr. Incredible, he turns his head but he's looking straight forward in the following shot. (00:08:20)
Correction: When the shot changes to the wide shot, Mr. Incredible still has his head turned to the side.
Corrected entry: In the scene near the beginning the of movie when Mr Incredible goes to the island and is fighting the first robot, he he hurts his back. The robot then picks him up and, using its claws, begins stretching him, during which we hear his back pop, and him laugh. He then uses his strength to pull one of the robot's claws off, allowing him to escape. Later in the scene the claw mysteriously reappears, as seen when the robot is defeated and collapses to the ground.
Correction: This is not correct. The claw never reappears after being torn off. In fact, you can see the arm with the missing claw the whole time, even after being destroyed (in the final shot it is the front arm to the left of the viewer).
Corrected entry: In the dinner scene, when Dash is running around the room smacking Violet on the back of the head, there are two water jugs that are there in closeups of Vi, but disappear in shots of Dash running.
Correction: If you're referring to the tall silver and short green dishes behind Vi, both are visible when Dash is running around. If you're referring to the two vases above, those are also visible. There are no changes between close up and wide shots.
Corrected entry: During the chase scene at the beginning of the movie, Bob pulls up a map of where he is as opposed to the cop car and the getaway car. The computer then plots a merge pursuit course as being an immediate right, followed by a left turn and two more right turns. The car converts, then is shown taking an immediate left, then a right turn, a mirror image of what the map displays.
Correction: If you watch the scene again closely, you can see as the computer zooms into the converge point, Mr. Incredible's car (on the map) has already made the first right, thus the first turn we see is the left hand turn, which is the 2nd plotted turn.
Corrected entry: When Helen is vacuuming the hallway, and goes into Bob's office, the vacuum cord is coming from the far side of the washer and dryer. But when the camera moves inside the office, the cord is coming in the door from the right, which is the opposite direction. (00:48:55)
Correction: I just watched this scene. The cord does snake by the washer/dryer but the rest of the cord is coming from the left of the screen(where it is plugged in),as if Helen had backtracked when vacuuming. Look closely and you'll see the rest of the cord. It is in the correct location when Helen enters Bob's office.
Corrected entry: If the US government spends so many hundreds of thousands of dollars (as Rick Dicker states) in protecting Mr. Incredible's identity, then wouldn't anybody care about the fact that there's an entire room devoted to Mr. Incredible? I mean, if it was just memorabilia, that would be one thing, but pictures? With a guy who looks exactly like said superhero in the same house? I think people would get suspicious. Not to mention the fact that the government let Bob Parr keep his suit. Any slightly nosy neighbor could figure it out; wouldn't the US government?
Correction: Why on earth would anyone else have to know the room existed? Do you let your neighbors into your house, alone and unsupervised, to roam through every room in your house? Of course not. It's a memorabilia room, plain and simple. Like a collector would have.
Corrected entry: So the basic premise of this film is formerly respected superheros are outlawed by the government and forced to retire due to excessive public criticism. Their select group tries living normal lives but eventually find the call of the costume is too strong. They team up to combat a world-threatening evil force and finally go back to being full time heroes, if only in secret. Any of that sound familiar to anyone? It should. It's the exact same premise as "Watchmen".
Correction: There are many films that share basic plot points. That doesn't constitute trivia for either film.
Corrected entry: At the wedding, when Bob says "You have to be more flexible", Helen is holding her bouquet of flowers up, but in the next shot, the bouquet is nowhere to be seen. (00:09:20)
Correction: The shot you're referring to is a close-up of Helen's face. The bouquet is out of shot.
Correction: Bob Parr gives Dash his own steak as he cut Dash's plate up. The intact steak is just Bob's plate which he moved.
