Mistakes

At the end of the movie when Evan and God are talking under a tree in a field, God is holding a wooden staff. As the camera cuts back and forth between Evan and God, God's hand changes position from holding the top of the staff like a cane to holding the staff further down like a walking stick. See more...

Trivia

The book Evan gets his instructions from (Ark Building For Dummies) is an actual book which has been published! Mainly as a joke. See more...

Entry The steps up to Evans house change. In the scene where he discovers the tools, they are two sets of small steps with a handrail, but when he comes down the steps naked, there are just three steps with no rail. [Evan was using different entrances/exits in his house.]
Entry The fish in the tank shouldn't be attracted to him. If the dam would break, the fish wouldn't be harmed because the flood would be freshwater, since it's from a lake. [All God says is that a flood is coming; he never gives details of what that flood will entail. It's assumed by Evan that the flood will be of Biblical proportions; there's no reason to suggest that the animals who are drawn to him know any different. As the fish don't know that it's just going to be a dam break, it's natural that they would be drawn to Evan to save them from what they think is coming.]
Entry I find it funny that fish are attracted to Evan. Are they attracted to him because they want him to save them from the flood? They're fish and the last time I checked, fish could breathe underwater. [It's freshwater fish that have the problem - if the oceans rise up then their habitat will become saltwater, and they can't survive in a marine environment, so it makes perfect sense that they would flock to Evan to save them.]
Entry When Evan goes to the congress meeting, after he has changed to his "Metrosexual" look with his pony tail on his beard and hair, he is asked to stand up to show support for the new bill. When he stands up it brings a close up to the face for the obvious reasons of re-doing his hair to the "Noah" look. However after the gasp from the audience implying that this change by God has already happened, he makes a slight turn and you can plainly see the original pony tail on his hair still there. [Evans clothes also changed from the suit to the robe,there is no indication that they happened at the same time,so the gasp could be for the changing of the buisness suit to the robe -not the hair and beard changes.]
