Other mistake: During Brown's dream, where he saves a runaway bus, Brown throws a hook, which latches onto the bumper. One shot of a middle-aged woman staring in awe was obviously done backwards, because the letters on the store behind her are written and spelled as such.
Inspector Gadget (1999)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: David Kellogg
Starring: Matthew Broderick, Rupert Everett, Michelle Trachtenberg, Joely Fisher
Revealing mistake: At the party where Inspector Gadget lights a cigar for Scolex, he uses his thumb which flips open to reveal a flame. When they cut to the close-up of Scolex getting the cigar lit, you can see that there is a hand holding up a traditional lighter, and not Inspector Gadget's thumb any more.
Penny: Having another hero cop dream, Uncle John?
Officer John Brown: Every time I close my eyes.
Trivia: In the scene where Gadgetmobile first meets Inspector Gadget, he says something about him making moves on Dr. Bradford. Inspector Gadget says his only interest in her is professional. He says the same thing about the female Inspector in Inspector Gadget 2.
Question: When Inspector Gadget is lying on the table with the Claw watching over him, Gadget says that Claw will never get away with this. Then Claw says, "I think someone's been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons", and then everyone looks up at the camera confused/surprised. Can any one explain what the joke is here?
