Continuity mistake: When the family is leaving the house at the beginning, the girl puts a lot of food in the bowl inside the cage. She even leaves the box over the food. Suddenly there's an open shot and the food and the box are not longer in the cage.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the escape scene, Rita makes her way to the street by jumping down from one object to another. The last thing she lands on is a hammer handle sticking out of a filing cabinet. When Roddy attempts to follow her, he falls on the same objects that she jumped on to. The last thing he lands on, though is the head of the hammer that was absent from the handle when Rita jumped down. (00:25:55 - 00:26:40)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, during the "James Bond" sequence, Roddy shoots a dart at the DVD to knock it into the DVD player. From behind the DVD, it falls forward, from the front, it falls backwards (which makes more sense considering he shot it from the front).

Continuity mistake: When the rat first arrives at the sewer, there is a slug that screams and tries to run away. Next shot he has totaly disappeared with nowhere to go.

Plot hole: It's one thing to have a small amount of liquid nitrogen (about the size of a standard propane tank, by the looks of it from the Fridge scene), but where did the gallons upon gallons of it during the climactic flood scene come from?

Factual error: When the Toad's foot breaks the pipe of liquid nitrogen, it should have frozen the water immediately, but it takes a lot more time to allow the wave to get closer.

Other mistake: In the first microwave scene, Roddy press the random buttons (4,6,5,3,2) but the microwave only shows 3 seconds, and the popcorn already popped within those 3 seconds. (00:02:55)

Toad: You wretched vermin! I'll make you pay for this.
Le Frog: Ah, give it a rest, cousin... and get your kids a puppy.

Trivia: When Rita starts picking things up from the engine room, one of the objects is a pencil with Gromit's head on it.

Question: In the scene where the bad guys catch Rita and Roddy on her boat, her ruby falls from her pocket. Shouldn't it have broken down or at least have some scratches?

Answer: Not really, when you consider it's a fake so it probably very light, and only falls an inch or two (given the height of the average rat).
