* ElectrifiedBathtub: Mike kills the giant spider by breaking a water pipe to flood the basement floor, then drop a hanging lightbulb to electrify it. The spider glows yellow as it dies. Mike then jumps to the staircase, but loses his balance and falls back; fortunately, Nancy turns off the power just in time.

** The delinquents only eat half of the Goo they stole, but no mention is made of what happened to the rest of it. For that matter, the amount of Goo that Mike locks away in the cellar only appears to be a tiny portion of what Genius originally produced, even accounting for what they fed to the various animals.

** After the giants arrive at the party, two cops arrive on the scene and ''don't'' notice the giants until ''after'' they've exited the car, and the partygoers point them out. One would think the cops should have seen the giants on the drive up.
