Plot hole: If the curse counts an eclipse as night, then Navarre should have turned into a wolf during the eclipse. If the curse does not count the eclipse as night, then Isabeau should have remained a hawk. In neither case would they both have been human at the same time.

Suggested correction: That is the whole point; it is neither day nor is it night. Each only suffers the curse when it is specifically day or specifically night. Any time it is not one of those two events, the curse is not active, as shown earlier in the movie when both are human for seconds during a time in between day and night.

If this is the final lesson and he's only being introduced to these weapons now, how come Dudikoff used these weapons successfully earlier, against about 15 ninjas in the fight at the warehouse trap?

Suggested correction: The lesson was the use of "ninja magic" symbols, not the weaponry.

Plot hole: Given how long it takes to set up a carnival, and that they arrived at the same time as everyone else, it's highly unlikely the Sleaze brothers could've had everything already set up, much less been open for five hours already.
