The Stuff Goofs/Mistakes

Movie Goof (boom mic visible): The boom mic can be seen in the window of the wall cabinet in the scene in which David and the scientist examine the newspaper article.
Movie Goof (errors in geography): Colonel Spears says that his radio station is based in Atlanta, Georgia (where they eventually broadcast the final warning). However, the signs on the wall of the station say WGHQ 92, a New York-based radio station.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Moe is threatening the two executives in the penultimate scene, he says, "Keep eating it till it's coming out of your eyeballs." In the next shot, Moe's mouth isn't moving as he finishes the sentence.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Mo and Charlie enter the post office, it's daytime - quite possibly afternoon. The moment they talk to the letter carrier inside, it's suddenly nighttime.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the Taste scene at the end with 'Patrick ONeal, his character says, "We tested it. We tested it in a small Illinois Town." Between those two sentences, a car horn sounds off from outside the building.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When the older brother is playing video games on the tv, hes playing Zaxxon, but the sound effects are from Joust.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): After Moe and Nicole get off the jet plane, they leave in a car with two executives. As the car drives away, you can briefly see the camera's shadow on the car (on the left side of the screen).
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene at the Stuff factory, they stumble across a room full of Stuffies dressed in yellow, lying on the floor. In the shot directly after Jason says "Whatever was inside of them must have just taken off," the camera pans around all of the Stuffies, who all have their mouths open and tongues sticking out. The actor at the top of the screen (the farthest from camera) is wiggling his mouth and tongue rapidly, indicating that not only he is very much alive, but quite likely didn't even hear the director's call of action.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Ben the dog leaves Mr. Vicker's side as Moe says, "Well, I suppose if both of you eat it, it's got to be all right," you can very briefly hear the on-set dog handler tell the dog to stay put.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the hotel room scene when the stuff is pushing the man up the wall, if you look closely where the two main characters are supposed to be standing and watching the event, you can see they are replaced by stand-ins, and only the characters' voices can be heard.
