Trivia: The phone number on Mirage's business card is 866-787-7476. The last 7 digits spell out S-U-P-R-H-R-O on a phone touch pad.

Trivia: The scene where Frozone, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, has a cop pointing a gun at him, where he wants to "get a drink of water", is very similar to the scene he plays in Die Hard with a Vengeance, where he is in the same situation in the subway platform, needing to answer a pay phone.

Trivia: Helen's pilot call number when she is flying the jet is India Golf Niner-Niner, or "IG99" for short. This is a deliberate reference by Brad Bird for his earlier film, The Iron Giant, which came out in 1999.

Trivia: At the beginning when Mr. Incredible is chasing the robbers by following them on a map on a screen inside his car, the street names on the map are actual street names from Emeryille, CA, where Pixar is based.

Trivia: Other supers from the movie that mimic comic book heroes (disregarding gender): Psycwave is Professor X, Phylange is Banshee, Blazestone is Pyro, Thunderhead is Storm, Gazerbeam is Cyclops, Apogee is Sunspot, and Gamma Jack is Ultraverse's Atom Bob. Jack-Jack also briefly manifests the powers of the Human Torch and the Incredible Hulk and the board that Frozone uses near the end is reminiscent of the Silver Surfer.

Trivia: In the "Jack-Jack Attack" special DVD feature, look closely at the aftermath of Jack-Jack's transformations when the chairs are turned over and burnt. In one of the shots is the rubber ball from Luxo Jr.

Trivia: The film's creators originally couldn't find an appropriate actress to voice Edna. Finally, when asking actress Lily Tomlin to voice Edna, Brad Bird provided an example of what she should sound like. Tomlin told Bird that he had nailed the voice well, and said that Brad should do the voice himself.

Trivia: In movie theaters, instead of using the normal "burn marks" film to signal a reel change, "The Incredibles" has the symbolic "i" encased in an atom at the top right corner for a reel change.

Trivia: Syndrome was originally going to be named "Xerek". It was changed because they were afraid the voice actors wouldn't be able to pronounce it.

Trivia: Originally, an old man named Snug Porter was going to fly the plane that Helen flew to Syndrome's HQ. In the first script the favor she called in for was for him to fly her to HQ, not just lend her a plane. When the explosion blew up the plane it was implied that he didn't survive. They cut the scene because they couldn't give him enough screen time to make the audience sad when he died. You see one shot of him when Elastigirl picks up the photo while she is on the phone. He is also in the background of the wedding scene. The entire cut sequence can be seen in its basic storyboard form on the DVD extras.

Trivia: In the scene when Dash is sent to the principal's office, the plaques on the wall say J. Walker. This is the name of the producer of the movie, John Walker.

The Incredibles mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible lands on the island, he gets stuck in his capsule, eventually smashing it to get out. He starts stretching, bending backwards. The angle lowers to show that Mr. Incredible's suit is now a two-piece, revealing his fat stomach. During the rest of the movie, the suit is a one-piece, so this wouldn't be possible. (00:35:15)
