Continuity mistake: Christie enters the temple on the hill. When she approaches the altar, the red cloth is draped over it in differently from before. Similar mistakes (although nowhere nearly as blatant) happen between cuts when Ninja Christie and Yamada fight in front of the corpse. A HUGE instance of the mistake though happens when the evil spirit migrates from Christie's body to its previous host, though; the body was fully covered by the red shroud, and then not at all.

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The police arrives at the house under construction with three patrol cars. Watch as the cops get out of the cars and take position; their positions do change between shots - for instance, one cop stands behind the open passenger door of the car in front of him, and in the next shot he's still running towards it, and the guy behind the driver seat-side door of the other car points the gun with both hands first, then just one.

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja has been unmasked, somehow both warriors get scared by the cop sirens. Christie escapes through a window; in the first shot the window is half-opened, in the second, all of a sudden all she has to do is push the fly screen, as the window frame has been removed. (01:10:35)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja drops a large wooden board on Yamada, Sho Kosugi's hands are positioned differently between shots, and when he breaks it, the two large pieces end up in different spots depending on the camera angle, even few seconds when the Black Ninja keeps going Donkey Kong on their opponent throwing more garbage at him.

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: In the opening phases of the fight between the two ninjas, the one possessing Christie tries to stab Yamada through a window. In close-up, Sho Kosugi has both hands on the brick sill, but in the next shot his left hand is still distant and closer to the doorframe. (01:08:20)

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)
Continuity mistake: Virgil wins a portable CD player thanks to the candy bar contest; the first view of the results, featuring his picture, simply shows his name and score followed by Ben and other two people. A close-up of the same printed sheet inserts also the word "Runners up." (00:45:35)

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)
Continuity mistake: Ben finally is asked to get on the court to play. The girl with braids cheers him wildly in a close-up, and the girl behind her is holding her yellow sign with her left hand. Cut, and she is using the right hand. (00:21:55)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Christie kicks a cop head-first into a gravestone shattering it (the gravestone, not the head, although one wonders how just the latter could happen), the stone breaks in two completely different ways in separate shots. (01:06:55)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the ninja parries the baton strike from the guy making all the swooshing noise, her right side of the body (and her arm, specifically) are already prepared to hit the second guy while the left hand brings down the baton. The next shot though opens with her right arm low and her left arm high over her head. (01:06:45)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the patrol car chases the ninja at the funeral shooting at her with a shotgun, there's a POV shot from the driver, who has his right hand at 12 o'clock on the wheel. Reverse angle and the hand is gone. It happens again moments later when the driver stops the car, and at the cut it switches from 10 to 2 o'clock with opposite hands. (01:05:50)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the priest tries to read from a scroll and gets laughed off by the ninja demon, he is holding the scroll in a different way between shots - just use the little string as reference. (00:51:10)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: Christie is making out with the sleazy cop. We get a close-up of the poisoned ring and how she turned it, and she is ready to strike. She has both arms over his shoulders, both for the close-up of the fatal gesture, the arm is out of the way. (00:44:00)
