Plot hole: There are two cars driving behind the EPA truck containing Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. When Homer uses the bulldozer to try and break the family out of the truck, the two cars behind the truck don't notice the bulldozer trying to destroy the truck. There's no way they couldn't have not seen the bulldozer since they were just behind it. (01:00:05 - 01:00:40)

Directed by: David Silverman
Starring: Hank Azaria, Albert Brooks, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Harry Shearer, Yeardley Smith
Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are on the motorcycle trying to get rid of the bomb, the bomb slips out of Bart's grip. When he's hanging onto his father's shirt, Bart first grips the bomb's handle with his palm and fingers facing the front of the bomb, with the clock. Then when he's hanging onto his father's hair, Bart's hand has flipped around and he's now gripping the bomb's handle with his palm and fingers facing the back of the bomb. Something to look out for is the shot just before the close-up of Chief Wiggum, because as Bart raises his arm the bomb actually flips over in his hand while we're watching. Quite impossible. (01:12:55)
EPA official: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.
Russ Cargill: Of course I have! Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring. No one listens to you.

Question: Why did Grandpa join the angry mob? It would make much more sense if he was either on his family's side or simply remained completely neutral.
Answer: The family doesn't treat him very well, particularly Homer. He may have wanted some revenge on them. Grampa is also a little senile.
