Errors

 * If the people who guard Project Phoebus do not even know what it does, how do Drakken and Shego know what it does?
 * To be fair, the guards did not actually need to know what Project Phoebus did in order to guard it effectively, so that would fit with the expected "need-to-know only" status of a secret project: if you do not need to know, you are not told. *Naturally, Drakken and Shego would not respect any rules regarding top secret classification as the guards would, so they would not hesitate to cause or take advantage of a security leak.
 * When Rufus comes around Ron’s back during Ms. Whisp’s speech about how Ron’s work was clearly completed by someone else, his hand briefly disappears. The fingers on his right hand also go directly through his homework during that scene.
 * The bottom of Ron's shirt turns red as the fish jumps up and snaps at him.
 * Why did Shego not just use her power to melt the jello stuff she was trapped in at the end?
 * We do not really know how it works. Being engulfed in it, she might have harmed herself due to proximity.

Allusions

 * Wade says "There can be only one!" This is a popular quote that is said in the TV show/movie Highlander.
