Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Pee Wee is chaining up his beloved bike you can see the long chain coming up through the bottom of the bike box.

Mistake Continuity: When P.W. is escaping certain trouble  somehow his handle bar comes off (with ribbons) a new one is replaced (without ribbons) - cool bike huh? But in the next scene the new handle has ribbons...

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where the pancakes are sticking to the ceiling, you can see that when one hits the ceiling, it jumps. The panckaes were actually being dropped on the floor with an upside down shot.

Mistake Continuity: When Pee Wee gathers everyone together in his basement to discuss his stolen bike, there's a shot of his dog Speck sitting in front of a person wearing horrible plastic pink or orange boots. It's Pee Wee's friend, Dotty. In the next shot, Dotty comes down the stairs...

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning of the film, when Pee-Wee unveils his beloved bicycle for the first time by disabling his elaborate garage security system, if you look carefully, a crew member's foot can be seen moving away as the garage door is opened.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Pee Wee's getting his beloved superbike out of his secret hiding place you can see a hand holding it up for him.

Mistake Continuity: In the pet store fire scene, you see an aquarium full of fish. At one point Pee Wee stops to rescue them by scooping them into a plastic bag filled with water. While he's doing this, the aquarium is nearly empty. In the last scene of the sequence (as he's running out of the store with the snakes), the aquarium is again chock-full of fish.

Mistake Revealing: In the beginning of the movie, when Pee-Wee's breakfast contraption is running, if you look closely at the "orange" that is being squeezed, it is really an orange coloured sponge ball.

Mistake Factual error: Towards the end when Pee Wee is being chased through the sound stage, he comes out through the open doors and the red light is flashing that indicates that filming is going on. But if the light were on, the doors would not be open. They also take a while to open, so it's not like they could have just swung open right before Pee Wee got there.

Mistake Continuity: In the breakfast scene, the orange juice container is below the yellow line, next scene is almost full, then later back down again, all while filling with the squeezed orange juice.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Look closely when Pee Wee and John the hobo are sitting on the side of a traincar singing and you can see safety straps keeping them on the train.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Pee-Wee gets a ride with the escaped convict, when he gets in the car he leaves his "Texas" sign in the road. In the next shot, as they drive off, it is not there.

Mistake Continuity: As he leaves his house, PeeWee manually turns on his 'sprinklers' (the Water Wiggle toy) and warns his neighbour he is about to start watering the lawn. He then goes to the rear of the property to retrieve his bike. When he returns to the front yard (just a minute or so later) the sprinklers are no longer running.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the begining during Pee Wee's Tour De France dream you can see the shadows of filming equipment on the ground as the camera passes a line of riders.

Mistake Continuity: Just before PeeWee pours the Mr. T cereal over his pancakes, there are two pieces of toast lying on the table. After he begins eating the cereal only one piece of toast remains.

Mistake Revealing: When Mickey drops off Pee Wee in the middle of nowhere he hears animal sounds all around, so he reaches for his headlight glasses and puts them on. All the animals except for a few small critters like raccoons are all fake.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the part where Pee-Wee is bull riding,when the anouncer finishes saying "He's going for a new world record", at the bottom middle/left you can see that Pee-Wee is not riding an actual bull. If you have a quick eye, you can see he's riding a mechanical bull like the one from the movie Urban Cowboy.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Pee Wee first retrieves his bike from it's hiding place behind a wall of brush. As the brush covered door rises you can see a crew member's leg (probably the crew member lifting the door) step out in view for a split second on the left side of the door. If you blink you'll miss it, but you don't need slow-motion to spot it.
