Corrected entry: This is the first Pixar film where the villain dies.
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: 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: In the scene where Mrs. Parr goes to see Dash's principal she walks into his office alone. In the car after leaving you can see and hear Jak Jak in the back seat. They are on their way to pick up Violet so was Jak Jak left alone in the car?
Other mistake: Near the end of the film when Jack-Jack is manifesting various abilities, his first display is of the human-torch-type of superpower. This would have burned away all of his clothing, yet (for obvious reasons) his diaper remains intact. This is particularly apparent as designer Edna Mode's costume for Jack-Jack was earlier shown as fire-resistant, but he was not dressed in his outfit during this scene. (01:44:15)
Suggested correction: This is definitely intentional, not an error. We see Jack-Jack use his fire powers without burning his diaper in Incredibles 2. Having fire powers without burning clothes is just a retcon.
Corrected entry: If the superheroes want to keep their identity secret, why do they go to Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible's wedding in their supersuits? (00:10:05)
Correction: It is possible that Bob and Helen have relationships with some heroes and NOT with their alter egos. Just because a hero shows up in hero form it does not they MUST have a connection to their identity. ie If Batman showed up to Barbra Gordon's wedding that implicates neither Bruce nor Batgirl as Batmans relationship with Commish Gordon is evident and provides the reasoning for Batman's appearence.
Correction: This was actually before superheroes wanted to keep their identity secret.
That is not true. They had secret identities before Helen and Bob were married. In the newsreel, there is a woman that says something to the effect of, "It is time for the secret identities to be their only identities." The first correction is likely correct.
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.
Corrected entry: Nothing was explained where super-villains go when the superheroes were retired. Presumably the government could not just herd them up with the heroes - if it could, the government have just used the same technique to arrest them all for being villains. It is a very bad plot hole because, if there had been other villains around, Syndrome could have fought them to gain recognition as a hero rather than devising his evil plot.
Correction: Realize first that it's been about 20 years, counting the trials, since the superheroes have been allowed to save people. So, guys like Bomb Voyage may have retired for various reasons (no challenge anymore, too old, etc.). Also, some of them are dead, again for various reasons (showdowns with the government, rogue heroes that didn't listen to the government, etc.). Also, we don't know that Syndrome tested his Omnidroids exclusively on heroes; he may have "hired" a few villains for the project. Finally, guys like the Underminer and anyone else that would emerge were probably too young to become villains when all of the trouble started at the beginning of the film.
This seems all strangely convenient. Superheroes pop up, super villains do too. Then super heroes disappear and the super villains disappear too? I don't think so.
Correction: That is incorrect. Hopper, the villain from A Bug's Life, is killed by being fed alive to baby birds. A Bug's Life was released 6 years prior to The Incredibles.
