Character mistake: Max tells David that humans only use 10% of their brain. That's a myth.
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Randal Kleiser
Starring: Paul Reubens, Cliff De Young, Veronica Cartwright, Joey Cramer
Continuity mistake: As David and the ship are leaving the NASA hanger, the straps that are holding the ship down start to break. From the shot outside the ship, you can plainly see the straps hanging on the front off the ship, but from inside the ship looking out the front "viewscreen" you see a clear picture, with no straps obstructing the view.
Carolyn McAdams: You know, you're cute. Did a girl ever tell you that before?
David Freeman: Nobody but my mom, but I don't think she counts.
Trivia: While he's in his his room at the NASA base, David asks when "Starsky and Hutch" will be broadcast. Director Randal Kleiser also directed Starsky and Hutch (1975).
Question: Who actually sent RALF to take David to the ship? The ship tells him to get in RALF but later on we see Carolyn looking shifty when they're questioning how he escaped?
Answer: Carolyn wouldn't have wanted David anywhere near the UFO as it could've been dangerous, so it's safe to assume that "Max" programmed the R.A.L.F robot. Although Carolyn didn't have anything to do with with David's escape, it wouldn't have escaped unnoticed that the R.A.L.F robot was in the hanger where the UFO was. Given that she's always the one with the R.A.L.F. robot, it's safe to assume she was acting worried that she'd be blamed rather than acting "shifty"
