Goofs

When Spencer and Mr. Vreek are talking outside the house, Mr. Vreek doesn't have his scarf in one shot, has it in the next, and then doesn't again afterwards.

When Fridge and Spencer are speaking in front of the Freak house, Spencer's raincoat goes from being open at the collar to being zipped all the way up several times as the conversation cuts back and forth between the characters.

When Bethany first enters the gym, she has her phone in her right hand. It's then gone as she extends her arms and says "Sorry" for being late. It then reappears when she's running.

While Bethany is composing her selfie at the beginning of the movie, the coffee mug handle is facing to the left. When the camera angle changes to a wider shot, the mug handle is facing "upward,", which she adjusts to face left. She proceeds to take the selfie with the coffee mug handle facing left.

At 4:08 when Mouse enters the scene, his necklace which shows his jersey number 94 is on backwards. The scene cuts to his mother, and then back to him when at 4:23 you can now see the number is facing forward.

When the "gamer" at the start of the movie is playing on the old console he is using a PlayStation controller. While the PlayStation and its controller was out the console shown certainly was not a PlayStation. Also when the console comes back into the movie ten minutes later all the controllers are changed to ones that now match the console.

I was eaten by a rhino. Well, it was actually a hippo.

However, this isn't a factual error; it's just a character mistake.

The weakness in the film seem to pretty stupid. The thing about video games is that most characters are overpowered, and because this a parody of games they main actors should be as well, and there weaknesses should be minor at best, not a major plot point. It doesn't make sense.

However, this is a factual error; it's just video game logic and game design. And the concept that most video game characters are overpowered is a unsubstantiated opinion.

As in many other movies, when the characters fall from the cliff into the water, they appear almost completely dry hardly two minutes later.

While this is normally a continuity problem, in this case the characters are inside a video game which does not completely follow real-world continuity. This was explicitly shown earlier when they experienced a 'cut scene'.

In the game, Alex does not make a reference to the Will Smith song "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" (which wasn't released until 1997, the year after he disappeared) he merely uses the word "jiggy" which was in popular vernacular for a large part of the 90s.

When the teens start the video game there is a loading screen. This is a cartridge-based game and cartridge-based video games did not require loading. Batman Forever (1995), a cartridge-based game, gave players a "loading screen" back in the '90s.

Many of the maneuvers McDonough performs with the Bell UH-1 Huey helicopter are not physically possible. First, the helicopter exits the barn by smashing through the doors. In reality, the impact with the doors would slow down the rotor blades dramatically (if it didn't break them) and the helicopter would spin out of control and drop to the ground almost immediately. The helicopter also impacts a tree shortly afterwards and continues flying, which would result in an immediate crash for the same reason. Some of the technical jargon in the dialog is correct, but not all of it (the "mesh plate" should be called the "lower swashplate"). While "collective" is the correct term, breaking that particular control rod would cause the pilot to lose forward and reverse cyclic control in addition to the collective, which would most likely result in the helicopter pitching forward or back unexpectedly and impacting the ground. And, of course, it would not be possible to repair the rod in flight. Finally, it is not possible to roll a helicopter onto its side and hold it there while continuing to fly in a straight line. With the rotor blades perpendicular to the ground, the helicopter has no way to generate lift, and it would simply fall. This is not a real helicopter - it is an artefact in an electronic game. It is not subject to the rules of real life.

Despite the spelling of zoology, it can still be pronounced with "zoo." Additionally, while the alternate spelling of orangutang has mostly fallen out of usage, the spelling and pronunciation are both valid.

When Spencer and the others enter the vehicle there is a long conversation with Nigel, the NPC and yet, throughout the entire conversation he never mentions C Plane/ Alex despite the fact that have already met by this time, he should have mentioned him. It just doesn't make sense.

The video game console the Jumanji video game cartridge is inserted in has woodgrain accents that video game companies stopped applying by the late 1980s when manufacturing gaming consoles, despite the Jumanji board game transforming into a video game cartridge in 1996 where the story begins.

However, the video game company in the film universe that made this games console didn't stop in the late 80s.

At 1:35:05, after Ruby stands up from being dragged behind a motorcycle, a member of the crew can be seen in the background on the far left side of the screen. He can be seen in the shot when she says, "Get to the statue. Go!"

At 36:31, as Spencer and Fridge are trying to escape from the four armed bikers, there is plainly a crew member visible in the bushes to the left.

Karen Gillans stunt double can be seen were Ruby Roundhouse fights the two men with the machine guns.There is a cut were the stunt woman's face is seen, and is very visible. Easy to spot on the Blue Ray.

Jaguars are native to South and Central America; however, shortly after encountering jaguars, they encounter an African elephant.

However, this is a video game set in an imaginary world. Anything can exist.

Fridge drops the jewel from the helicopter. That should not have been a problem as Alex would have had a jewel from his game.

However, they are all in the same game, they just joined at different times. It's never stated that Alex has a jewel.

How is Alex able to remove the fangs from the snake??? He didn't have fridge and he didn't have access to a zoologist and before they find Alex, the snake is shown to move quite fast, and the rest of the group nearly loses one of there lives. Not only is this barely explained, but it's just glossed over and ignored.

The game is supposed to be played by five players at once, but for some reason the NPC near the snake challenge is programmed to hint four of the players towards the fifth (the "missing piece").

However, this isn't a plot hole. The game's supposed to be played by 5 players, so it's logical that the NPCs are programmed to nudge the characters into a single group. It's less if a plot hole and more of a plot requirement.

How is Alex able to make it were Allan Parish lived in Jumanji??? Not only is this near impossible, but Shelly was the map reader, and Alex didn't have Shelly when he first entered the game, so he shouldn't have been able to find the bizarre are Allen Parishes old home. This would basically be impossible, given the films logic.

However, just because something isn't explained it doesn't make it a plot hole. It's likely Alex took a different path and faced different challenges, eg the game used a branching scenario.

When the players have to "take a leak", Bethany is surprised at her new anatomy part. Fridge then said that he checked his out "within the first 20 seconds" of his arrival. When they first land in Jumanji, it takes all of them a lot longer than that to figure out that they are character avatars and not themselves.

When the players access their skills, Bethany/Professor "Shelly" Oberon is having trouble reading his/her skills. She slowly reads "Paleontology" like he/she is seeing the word for the very first time, but pronounces the word perfectly.

Alex mentions that he has been in the game and time seems funny here. Yet, the change of seasons from summer to spring should have clued him into the fact that he was in the game much longer, and should have changed regularly. The movie never mentions that the seasons don't change, so this is a mistake.

Spencer should not have been given detention. Yes - he wrote Fridge's paper for him, but everything that happened after was Fridge's decision. It's not like Spencer forced Fridge to turn the paper in.
