In every shot where "the kid" is driving the red sports car, you can see that there is nobody in the car with him - Elaine should be in the passenger seat. Even slumped over unconscious, she'd be visible. See more...
The end credits of the film don't have the usual "No animals were harmed during the filming..." Maybe this is because when the Little Mule 4WD is being chased, it clearly runs over a chicken. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the account of the bird catch he lost when the bus crashed into his jeep Jack also lists a cockatoo. Cockatoo habitats are Australia and South-East Asia, not South America. [While not native to the Americas, cockatoos are bred all over the world, including North and South America.]
After the bus accident and the shoot-out with Jack, Zolo runs away, following the road the passengers had taken. It doesn't make sense that a little later, when he stops Ralph's car which is coming along the same road, he comes running out of the jungle. [Why doesn't it make sense? There is jungle all around. He could have taken a shortcut through the jungle or even been hiding.]
Jack agrees to take Joan to Cartagena for $375 in Amex travellers cheques. That's a weird sum, considering that there are no $5 cheques. [It is true AmEx doesn't issue $5 travelers checks but they do have $25 checks and 15 of them would be $375. This would be about right if she had already cashed one from a book of $400.]
When Ralph's car is floating in the river right before the waterfall the whole front of the car swings up and down following the motions of the water. Obviously it's a real light "able to swim" version. [It's floating, therefore it follows the movements of the surface of the water. All floating objects do.]
When Joan and Jack emerge from the river on opposite banks they agree to meet at the hotel. Joan gets there first, and before Jack arrives too the kidnappers guide her to a different place to exchange the map for her sister. When exchange is interrupted by Zolo and his gang, Jack also shows up, although he should have had no idea where the exchange was to take place. [Zolo took Jack hostage and brought him to the exchange.]
