Audio/Video Mismatch
When Nico and Pedro are singing 'Hot Wings' at the club, in the introduction of the song, Nico can be heard saying 'My Life', but neither Nico or Pedro's lips move.
Continuity
In the beginning of the movie, during the first performance of 'Real in Rio' the yellow Macaw that baby Blu looks to has three chicks. She only throws two out of the nest then flies away with the newly flying chicks, leaving the third one in the nest.
Continuity
When Tulio visits Linda in Minnesota, there are two blue pens or pencils on the table. When Tulio throws Blu, the two pens or pencils have disappeared.
Factual Mistake
Carnival Floats in the Sambodromo Parade are not allowed to be self-propelled. In real life they are always pushed by a crew.
Factual Mistake
Linda serves Blu a cup of hot chocolate at the beginning of the film. Chocolate is toxic to Macaws.
Factual Mistake
On the runway, Marcel tells Tipa to "Pull Up!" which he does but the flaps on the plane move the wrong way, which would cause the plane to be pushed into the floor and not take off.
