Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jimmy's parents arrive in Las Vegas the cult bus can be seen arriving behind them. Then, after the casino sequence, the cult bus is seen arriving again.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The Bright and Shiny cult have all had their genitalia removed, but as their introductory number begins on the bus, the "Todd" on the right (shaking a tambourine) has a visibly large package.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the scene where Bubble Boy is making his escape from home, he rolls down the stairs and bounces into the living room. In this shot you can clearly see another layer of the clear bubble material encasing/suspending him for protection during the stunt. In the very next shot, this layer is gone and the bubble moves freely around him.
Movie Goof (continuity error): After Jimmy's mud wrestle, he emerges very clean from the bar.
