Jake Gyllenhaal in Bubble Boy (2001)

Goofs

Bubble Boy

Edit

Continuity

When Jimmy is sunbathing with Chloe, Bubble Guinea is next to him, although Chloe gives him Bubble Guinea as a present in the very next scene.
After Jimmy's mud wrestle, he emerges very clean from the bar.
when Chloe first meet's Jimmy, she has her purse slung over one shoulder, but when a close-up is shown of her chest, her purse is slung over the other shoulder.
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.

Revealing mistakes

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.

Crew or equipment visible

In the opening sequence, the camera is reflected in the bubble of Jimmy's hermetically sealed bassinette.
The lights are clearly visible many times, especially in the sequence when Jimmy rolls down the stairs.
When Jimmy calls Mark from the payphone in the gas station, a crew member is reflected in the cabinet window behind Mark.
The skid wheels can be seen under the cult bus as it skids while chasing Bubble Boy's plane.

Character error

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.
