Mistakes
- With not so much as a running start, Tommy managed to clear the exploding island by an unimaginable distance. (03:13)
- When the island began to sink, Tommy appeared to be even farther away, despite not moving from the spot in the water where he landed. (03:20)
- Tommy had the Dino Thunder logo on his briefcase. (03:25)
- It is unknown how, on her first day, Principal Randall knew Conner’s last name. (05:51)
- It is unknown how, on her first day, Principal Randall knew Kira’s last name. (07:01)
- It is unknown how, on her first day, Principal Randall knew Ethan’s first and last name. (07:28)
- Ethan walked through the lawn with an umbrella (which would not protect him from water sprinklers below), an obvious sign of his guilt. (07:28)
- At the end of the first day of school, Principal Randall was wearing a different outfit. (08:06)
- Principal Randall stated to Tommy and the teens that “you’ve all met, I trust,” but Conner was never shown in Tommy’s class -- he was on the field when the others had class, and he was still with Randall when she picked up the others for detention, after class. (08:27)
- Despite not being shown leaving, the Tyrannodrones were suddenly gone shortly before Tommy arrived. (17:01)
