Other mistake: When Tommy's lying on the mat unconscious, her arms are at her sides. When she's shown from Rosa's vantage point, they're spread out.

Rob245

Audio problem: The sound of a punch Tommy throws during her match with Princess War Star occurs before the punch connects.

Rob245

Plot hole: Given Rosa just started wrestling it seems unlikely she'd get a world title match so soon. That and when she bit Tommy on the lip she should've been disqualified.

Rob245

Revealing mistake: When Terrible Tommy has Rosa in an airplane spin her hair suddenly gets thicker and her legs get thicker, indicating this is Rosa's stunt double.

Rob245

Plot hole: Given Tommy assaults the referee during the match, even yanking his shirt off, he should've disqualified her.

Rob245

Continuity mistake: Rosa removes her hair piece with a fake flower just after being introduced, but after Tommy's shown removing her jacket the hair piece is back on until the bell rings.

Rob245

Audio problem: Terrible Tommy and Rose exchange words just as their match begins but neither one's mouth opens.

Rob245

Continuity mistake: Rosa bit Tommy on the right corner of her bottom lip, but when she wipes blood away it's from the left corner of her bottom lip.

Rob245

Other mistake: If Terrible Tommy's the world champion then where's the title belt she should be wearing?

Rob245

Plot hole: It seems hard to believe that a barely five foot tall,100-pound woman with no wrestling experience (Rosa) could face and beat someone who looks like she's got ten years' experience, looks like she's 6-7 inches taller, and outweighs her by 40-50 pounds (Terrible Tommy Dukes).

Rob245

Other mistake: It makes no sense for Hilda to be on the ring apron during Rosa's match with Terrible Tommy much less be in her ring gear when she didn't wrestle on that card.

Rob245

Other mistake: When Tommy tries splashing Rosa during their match she hits the ring mat with her chest and stomach yet seconds later she's somehow knocked out. I never saw her head hit after multiple viewings of that scene.

Rob245

Other mistake: Rosa and her co-worker couldn't possibly be watching Terrible Tommy as she and Princess War Star enter the arena as the movie starts. Because later on they're shown wrestling in that same arena wearing those same outfits wrestling, a sign that scene was shot at a different time or a part of the wrestling scene where Rosa and another wrestler are watching Tommy.

Rob245

Other mistake: Tommy's got blood coming from her left nostril even though Rosa only twisted it, she didn't do anything hard enough to cause a nosebleed.

Rob245

Terrible Tommy: "Come on runt."
Rosa Carlo: "Stop calling me that."
