Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray and others are crouched beside the hole in the asphalt, the guys around him and the way he holds the freezing piece of asphalt, differ between consecutive shots. (00:20:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray and the two guys head to the spot with 26 strikes, there is a crowd of people walking behind them in all the close-ups, yet, in the overhead shot hardly anyone is behind them as they approach the hole, and there was no time for the crowd to move ahead or disperse. Additionally, some of those people who are already positioned at the center of the crowd, around the hole, were just behind Ray in the previous shots. (00:19:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As Ray heads to the 26 strikes spot, while speaking with the two guys, he passes many stalled cars, some of which change entirely between shots. For example: In the close-ups he passes a red car in front of the restaurant, with a grey double parked car, and a white car at the street corner in front of the red, yet in the overhead shot a red car is at the street corner, with a grey car behind, in front of the restaurant. (00:19:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray runs across the street shouting, "Manny! Manny!" a guy with a hat and plaid jacket passes by, as the shot ends. At the start of the next shot, the same guy is now near Manny's garage door and air hose. (00:18:55)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After speaking with Robbie, when Ray runs across the street to speak with Manny some are entirely different cars from the previous shots and in one case a car jumps sideways from one lane to the next. Ray also runs beside the crosswalk in the close-up, but in the next shot he's much farther away, and the crowd differs. (00:18:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray runs out of the house and meets up with Robbie, the cars and pedestrians very noticeably differ between consecutive shots while they talk. (Not due to cars being pushed.) (00:18:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray and Rachel are in the backyard, just before the lightening starts, she says, "I don't wanna go by myself," and there are no leaves on the barbeque. In the next close-up, as they stand near it, there are leaves on it. (Not due to wind.) (00:15:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray is in his backyard and says, "That is so weird," he's standing well away from the fence that is near the female neighbor holding the baby, but in the next shot he's right beside the fence talking to her. (00:14:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Rachel tells Ray that Robbie took the car, when Ray runs down the steps long shadows are cast. When Ray turns around to see what everyone is looking at, all shadows are gone, only to reappear in the next shot. Then when Ray runs to his yard, the angle of his shadow is entirely different. (00:13:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray runs into the street he realizes that everyone is looking behind him, towards his house, so he turns to the right and looks over his right shoulder, but in the next shot facing his house, he's turning to the left and looks over his left shoulder. (00:13:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Ray finds out that Robbie took the car, he runs into the street. In the first shot he stops at least 6-8 ft away from the solid double street lines to turn, yet in the next shot he's standing right on the double lines. (00:13:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Once Ray takes the piece of pita with hummus and eats some of it, the rest of the pita and the way he holds it differs in following shots. (00:12:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray speeds past Manny's there are long shadows cast, but in the next shot when he pulls into the driveway shadows are gone. When he, Mary Ann and Tim speak the shadows are back only to disappear in the next shot, and so on, all depending on camera angle. (00:04:10)

Super Grover

Audio problem: When Ray carries Rachel out of Mary Ann's destroyed house, Ray and Robbie walk past some wreckage and are near the van, yet in the next shot they just start walking past that wreckage again. Additionally, the audio is not in sync with Ray's lips in the first shot. (00:45:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: While the aliens rummage through Ogilvy's cellar, Ray and Ogilvy have a tense, silent tug-of-war with Ogilvy's gun, and their arm and hand positions differ between consecutive shots. (01:27:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray tries to quiet Ogilvy, and then decides to kill him, the pattern and size of the sweat stain on Ray's shirt differs repeatedly in the following shots. (01:30:45)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Ray is at the News Producer's van, she grips and starts to push the videotape with her palm up, but in the next close-up it's the opposite, she's pushing it with her palm down. (00:44:00)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As the News Producer speaks with Ray amidst the plane wreckage, her black bag, her actions, and how she hold things such as food trays, change abruptly in consecutive shots, while Max searches for food in the locker. (00:43:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Just before the news van leaves, in the shot facing the News Producer she asks Ray, "Hey were you on that plane?" then extends her left arm to touch Ray with her left hand. However, in the shot facing Ray, she has her right arm extended to touch Ray. (00:45:15)
