Suggested correction: Nothing indicates in the film that sumos are necessarily naked under their layer.

Continuity mistake: Whenever Goldmember undresses. it causes a gold glow to light up the surrounding area. Later on in the movie when he reveals the 'second key', it stops producing this effect.

Suggested correction: We still see the glow as he's getting the key.

I believe he's referring to the fact that once removed, the key is no longer glowing, even though the film indicated it glowed.

Plot hole: How can Austin's Father be so young? Don't forget that Austin was frozen for 30 years, so their age gap should be 30 more than normal; but despite that the age gap between them seems about normal for a father and son.

Suggested correction: This used to drive me nuts as well, until my latest viewing when I realised Goldmember first kidnaps him in 1975, and brings him to the future. As for Nigel missing Austin's award, maybe in the first timeline Nigel lives to be 95 ish.
