Episode Goofs |
| |
When Brock spotted the box full of Dr Jonas Ventures Sr.’s old stuff, he apparently knew right away that it was something very important and Brock revealed to Dr Venture that the reason he called him their was directly about the video camera and TV set that was inside the box. How could Brock know instantly their was something important in the video camera before even locating through the video.
| The scene were Dean, Hank and Brock get off of the X-1 heading towards Dr. Jonas Jr's building on Spider Skull Island and Brock sees a man coming about with a flash light, Brock attacks that man and suddenly the lights turn on. When the lights turn on, Dean and Hank are standing on the middle of the room and Brock grabbing the man, who we know as "The Ghost Captain Pirate". The goof is that apparently the lights came on be themselves.
| Their was no mention of Cody, Sally's other brother whose power was to convert his body into flame but doing so causing him great pain. It is assumed when sally was trying to escape with Dr. Venture that Sally, Rocket and Ned were to go along with her. but still no mention of her other brother Cody.
