Corrected entry: Right before Atom's knockout punch of the two-headed bot, Jackman screams "Right uppercut!" but throws a left uppercut. Thankfully Atom ignores the fact that Jackman doesn't know his left from his right, and throws the right-handed uppercut for the win.

Correction: Atom is voice commanded so he will follow whatever commands Charlie will tell him. The fact that Charlie threw is left arm instead of his right has no bearing on the fight. It was a decision made in excitement over his coming victory.

MasterOfAll

Corrected entry: After Max digs out Atom he is covered in mud. In the shot from the cab he is clean. The next shot at the gym, Max is again covered in mud.

MrSquiggle1000

Correction: There was still dried mud on Max from the cab, but the Sun made the brownish dirt blend in with his black shirt and jeans.

Corrected entry: Throughout the film, Atom's shadow function switches back and forth between mirror and mimic for no apparent reason or command from Charlie or Max.

MrSquiggle1000

Correction: It's mirror when his shadow is facing him head-on, mimic when his shadow is visible but not actually facing him.

Phixius

Corrected entry: Charlies eye color is brown. His kid, Max's eye color is blue. But the brown eye gene will dominate the blue eye gene. So genetically Max can't be Charlies son. (01:38:20)

Correction: This is incorrect. Everyone has two parents, so they receive two genes, so they could be brown/brown, brown/blue [blue/brown would be the same thing], or blue/blue. It is possible for two people with brown eyes to have a child with blue eyes if both parents carry the recessive blue gene, being brown/blue. If their child receives the blue gene from both parents, this will result in blue eyes. There is only a 25% chance to receive both blue genes and a 75% chance to be brown eyed because it only takes one brown gene from either parent to mask the blue.

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Max threatens to drop Charlie's keys into the sewer if he doesn't take him along, As the shot alternates between Hugh from the front and Hugh from the back his right hand changes from stretched out for the keys (from the back shots) to resting on the roof of the cab (from the front).

Bailey Tallet: This is what's left of Noisy Boy?
Charlie Kenton: That's it. His head does make a nice addition to the front of the Crash Palace.
