Delirious picture

Factual error: In the deli, which is obviously not a kosher one since one of the items on the menu is "shrimp salad," a Chassidic Jew can be seen eating there. This would not happen in real life, as Chassidic Jews keep the laws of kashrus and would not be eating in a non-kosher restaurant.

Suggested correction: You seem to be referring to the deli in Jack's delirious dream when he wrote the deli into existence. Being a New York delicatessen, he would have simply written about the Jewish person being there. Of course, the Jewish person seen isn't real, he's part of the dream. The real deli at the end doesn't have a Chassidic Jew in it.

Tiger Claws picture

Other mistake: The sword champion is murdered in a dark room. Cut to Tarek Richards by his corpse. The room is still shrouded in darkness, which makes for a cool transition. However, when the camera pans out and someone (with an audible click) turns on the lights, you realise that the room is full of cops which up to that moment have been working in a dark room for no reason - and they have been doing things that require reading and writing, like collecting witness statements.

Sangatsu no raion picture

Continuity mistake: In the first meeting with the man with the hat, Ice puts one foot on the portable cooler, but the position of the foot on the floor changes when there's a cut. Even more obvious, when she steps in front of him, the tip of her red stilettos touch his feet, but at the cut their tips are distant, and she moves in with her right foot first, as opposed as before. (00:09:15)
