Fighting with My Family

Continuity mistake: When young Zak holds his cardboard replica belt, his hands keep changing position on it during the sequence. (00:01:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Zak and Saraya begin to argue over the TV, their dog is turned one way in the wide angle, and then the other way around after a brief cutaway shot. (00:01:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Zak and Saraya's father, Ricky, coaches him on how to properly apply a choke on his sister during their domestic dispute, the kids' arms keep changing position between shots. (00:01:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the very first sort-of-match, Saraya has against her brother in Pink Ranger drag; he shoves her against the mat for the first match. However, she lands in different spots between shots, as you can see by the lines on the canvas. (00:02:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: On the road after the jockstrap gag, Saraya's mum is holding the flip phone for her husband as he calls WWE. She holds the phone with her fingers on the lid at first, but supports it from the bottom half only when the angle changes. The finger position changes a few times again, on and off the lid and the display. (00:05:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: One of the young AWA wrestlers, Ez, is a drug dealer; we see him hand some drugs to a guy with a grey hoodie who just walks off. The camera does not cut away. A couple of seconds after the deal, Ez spots Zak's van, and he sprints away. In the next shot, he turns the corner and runs past the guy he gave the drugs to; not only is this guy completely unfazed, but he also manages to put an ungodly amount of distance between them in just a few seconds by walking so calmly. (00:06:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Saraya is trying to give out fliers for the live wrestling show to three girls who are obviously not interested. One of them mentions Saraya's brother being on the news. Notice a guy with a sleeveless vest walking behind her left to right and out of frame. A few seconds later, when she reiterates that she does not like wrestling, the same guy is back behind them doing the same walk. It happens a third time; when rectal bleeding is mentioned, he exits stage right again. (00:08:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the WAW crew picks up the blind guy, he flips them off, but in the reverse shot, his arm is down at his side. (00:09:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ricky hits Union Jack with a garbage can lid, Union Jack rubs his nose, then lowers his hand as he says, "Fine." But then his hand is on his nose again. More shoddy continuity ensues; Ricky is told on the phone about another stunt, UJ is rubbing his neck, but the arm is down in the next shot. Yet another similar mistake occurs when Ricky asks for his approval after the groin shot; hand under the chin, then not, gesture repeated. (00:10:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Zak tells Ricky that, unlike him, Courtney's dad is not a recovering alcoholic, Ricky changes position between shots. A few shots later, Zak asks him to put a shirt on and is obviously leaning on him, but in the next close-up on Nick Frost, that's not happening. (00:13:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Preparations for dinner with Courtney's parents. When Zak says to the women in the kitchen, "Look, for Courtney's sake," his mother, Julia, is wiping a glass, covering it with a rag, but in the next shot, the rag is off. (00:13:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Saraya's mum tells the future in-laws about the grotesquely deformed nether regions of her husband, Courtney's mother is frozen in a pose with a spring roll suggestively placed against her mouth. However, in the previous shot, you could see in frame her hand, and it was still on the table, at a safe distance from anything phallic. (00:14:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ricky tries to sell a share of his company to his Ned Flanders-esque dinner guest, his wife changes positions next to him as he turns around to get the contract. (00:18:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Once the Rock is done cutting a promo on Saraya and Zak, he says, "That's how you win over a crowd." He is holding a rolled-up magazine in his hand, but he is holding it at different heights and angles in the different shots. (00:23:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The WWE talent scout guy is addressing the trialists. He mentions action figures. Saraya is listening, arms down, hands crossed above the pelvis. Camera angle switches, and she is listening with her arms folded. (00:24:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the "leopard in sheik's clothing" literally disrobes, the guy wearing skeletal hands has one, then both hands on the ropes. (00:27:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Zak tells everyone that Saraya was picked up by WWE, the reactions are different in shot and reverse; Lena Headey raises her arms in both shots, and Leah Harvey has one hand on her side in the first, and both arms down in the second. (00:31:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Paige meets the three babes poolside. When she says, "Hi, I'm Saraya," Jeri-Lynn was fixing her hair in the previous shot, but now her arm is down at her side. (00:37:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Paige's clumsy sparring partner kicks her in the ovaries, she holds her sore pelvis with her left hand, which becomes the right hand in the next shot. (00:45:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Kristen accidentally elbows Paige in the face the first time after a misplaced kick. Paige asks her about her previous training; during this bit, she holds her hand at different heights across shots. (00:46:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When young Zak holds his cardboard replica belt, his hands keep changing position on it during the sequence. (00:01:05)

Trivia: At the end of the movie it shows Paige being flustered and unable to talk on the mic during her showdown with AJ Lee before the match started. In reality, Paige talked just fine and said she was there to congratulate AJ, who took offense at being interrupted.
