Continuity mistake: Anne has the kids trick her by putting glue on plates, and they stick to her hands. She gets even by spraying the whole family with a garden hose - no plates on her hands. Then they chase her outside, and she has the plates stuck to her hands again.

Suggested correction: She has the plates on her hands the whole time she's spraying everyone. You even see the plates after Dean says they need forks and the camera is behind her.

Continuity mistake: After Dean discovers Joanna on the couch, her face covered in calamine lotion, he picks her up and carries her into the bedroom. As he sets her on the bed the viewer can see her face is free from any "spots" and/or lotion.

Question: When Dean and Annie are at the restaurant/bar, they go outside and with plastic wine type glasses Dean pours some champagne in their glasses. When Annie picks up her glass, the bottom comes off. She says, Oh I lost my bottom! Was that in the script or was it a blooper? I've always felt it was a blooper and if it was Annie covered it so well. Thanks.

Answer: Goldie Hawn mentioned in an interview that it was a blooper. She explained that she and Kurt Russell are so comfortable with one another that it wasn't really like acting, and she reacted naturally.
