Revealing mistake: In the scene where Shen is seen walking down the road as he tries to hitch a lift, you can see all the cars are driving on the right side of the road.

Revealing mistake: They let us see the stunt double's face for the girl Steven Seagal is fighting in the ending Cathedral scene, and she looks nothing like the actress.
