Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the film while the school is on fire, Kimble's partner runs to the side door gun drawn. She is spotted by Crisp's mom and is hit by her car, knocking her down. When she arrives shortly with a bat to save Kimble she is much more banged up than when she was first struck, most noticeably a rip on her right shoulder that wasn't there before.

Other mistake: In the scene at the end of the film where Mr Kimble is being wheeled out on a stretcher his left bicep has a blood-pressure cuff on it, but moments earlier Mrs. Crisp shot him in the left bicep. That would be extremely painful.

Other mistake: The toy store manager has his assistant gift wrap an empty box. The race car set is still on the table fully assembled.

Suggested correction: The manager brings the box to the counter and tells the assistant to gift wrap the box, but we don't actually see what happens in the store after Crisp leaves. There is no indication how much time has passed. It is plausible that the manager brought the box to the assistant and told them to gift wrap it, but that the assistant knows they will also have to disassemble the toy and put it in the box first. We don't ever see the car set still in the window after the customer leaves so we can't assume the assistant wrapped an empty box.

Revealing mistake: When Kimble bursts in on Phoebe and her fiance, you can see the fiance's flesh-coloured underwear in the mirror behind him, yet he's supposed to be naked.

Plot hole: Cindy manages to pick Crisp out of a line-up even though she was hidden in a box and didn't see him, she only heard his voice. But even with that, he isn't asked to speak during the line-up.

Visible crew/equipment: When Kimble is beating up Zach's dad for hitting him, in one shot it shows him pinning him up against the car and the boom pole can be seen reflected on the boot surface and the rear window above it.

Continuity mistake: When the school is on fire the sprinkler system is activated, but when Mr. Kimble goes from the 'raining' first floor to the second floor to search for Dominic, there is no evidence of any water from the sprinkler system.

Continuity mistake: After the kindergarten class have finished their speech, the little kid who spoke last turns around and begins to jump up and down. When the shot changes as the principal starts to speak, he is facing the front, standing perfectly still.

Other mistake: When Det. Kimble comes out of the school on the stretcher, we see all his class gathered by his side yet still next to the school. Standard FEMA operating procedures (and common sense) would have had the kids far away from the school and not standing near the entrance emergency workers are actively using to get the fire under control.

Continuity mistake: Earlier in the movie... when Kimble is looking for Cindy (just before the "line-up") and Arnold says the line - "Alright party's over, everyone go home" he tosses some guy onto the glass coffee table which gets completely destroyed. Arnold's next line a moment later is, "next time, my place." The next scene, the coffee table appears good as new and the the guy is no longer there.

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the film while the school is on fire, Kimble's partner runs to the side door, gun drawn. Phoebe is spotted by Crisp's mom and is hit by her car, knocking her down. Crisps mom's hair is pulled back, but when she is in the school locker room and discovers Crisp shot dead her hair style is different, not pulled back.

Revealing mistake: In the fire scene at the end when Dominic first gets separated from Det. Kimble as he's helping the little girl, we see his hands around a stuffed ferret and not the real one he put in his sweater earlier.

Revealing mistake: In the shot where Dominic is falling from the radio tower from afar, he supposedly gets hung up by his backpack. However the lack of tension on the straps indicate that something else kept him from falling. We see the proper tension on the backpack when the scenes change to an up close shot.

Continuity mistake: When Det. Kimble opens the door in the school to see the two kids making out, we see the hallway behind him is clear of smoke. However, in the next shot the hallway is now full of smoke again.

Revealing mistake: When Dominic climbs the electrical tower, he is facing the ladder. In the next scene, his back is facing the ladder (when the bird hits him). When he begins to fall, a safety line becomes visible.

Question: Why does Zack have bruises everywhere on his body,also,why does his mom lie about it?

Answer: Because he's being abused by his father. As explained in the movie the father beats him and his mother as well. So she has to lie about Zack's black and blue marks. In one scene the mother explains Mr. Kimble that the father is undergoing therapy. He says that if it happens again he will report it. As Zack shows bruises again, Arnold's character goes out and beats Zack's father.
