• Factual errors: In the scene after the brakes go out in the police car and it crashes into the store, the policeman simply refills the master cylinder with brake fluid to fix the brakes. The previous scene showed that there was a hole in the line that released fluid, which would cause the brakes to not work again, yet the policeman continues to use the brakes with no ill-effect.
  
  
• Continuity: When Aunt Nora backs into the door in awe of her house being covered in vines, the claw marks are returned again; after opening the door, discovering the lion, and closing it again, the claw marks have, again, disappeared.

• Continuity: Judy's braids change (they have to be fixed throughout but the hair department doesn't make sure that they are uniform) as the movie continues.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Alan runs into abandoned shoe factory after being released from the game, Judy and Peter can be seen frozen on background.
  
  
• Continuity: After Alan shaves for the first time, there are scars and pieces of tissue on his face. In the next shot, there are no scars.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the game is played in the attic Judy tells Sarah that she can win if she rolls a twelve, but she only rolls a three. On her next turn Allen says she can win with a seven, however 12 minus 3 means she would have needed a nine.
  
  
• Continuity: In the end when everything is getting sucked back into the game, the hunter man tries to shoot Robin Williams' character but the gun and the bullet get taken back into the game with everything else. The gun and bullets rent from the game, they were bought by the hunter earlier in the day, so they should not have been sucked back into the game.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mr. and Mrs. Parish in the begining of the movie are leaving for the evening, they are in the car and talking for a moment and the car is not running. Then Mr. Parish has his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand on the gearshift, and then the motor is started. He could not start the car without turning the key, and he does not have a hand on the key.

• Continuity: When Allen opens the chest containing the board game, he reaches in and wipes some of the sand from the top. The scene cuts away and when the scene cuts back he lifts the game out, with the sand undisturbed.
  
  
• Continuity: When Alan first opens one-half of the game's board, the board is shown to be flat and even, but when he opens the other half, the hole in the middle of the game is visible when a moment before no half of it was visible where it should have been.
  
  
• Continuity: There were 31 spaces on the game for each player from start to finish, main reason for other goofs mentioned in regards to this subject, but the biggest being Alan couldn't have finished when he did, since his rolls were: 5~?~7~3, and the second roll couldn't have been any higher than 11.
  
  
• Continuity: Vanpelt's second gun wasn't from the game, but it still gets sucked back in at the end.
  
  
• Plot holes: It's strange that when the game is finished, all the wild animals (as well as Van Pelt) get sucked back into the game, yet the wild plants and vines don't seem to. (For that matter, we don't even see the pelicans, monkeys, spiders or crocodile inside the "tornado" either.)
