Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the film, when the creature captures Gracie, he jumps through a hole in the floor with her on his back. As he falls through the hole, his feet fall out in front of him and he is shown almost prone. Yet when the shot changes he lands firmly on his feet.

Suggested correction: It was a long enough drop for the beast to adjust itself to land on its feet.
Jack Burton: Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.
Trivia: Kim Cattrall was surprised when she got to the set for the prison scene one morning, as no one told her she would be hogtied for the entire scene (in the story, it was due to a deleted scene when she made trouble for her guards). She endured it like a professional, occasionally having her gag removed so she could drink water. When asked by John Carpenter whether or not she was uncomfortable, she simply replied 'I've been in tighter situations than this!'
Question: Why didn't Jack and Wang run to Jack's truck instead of the basement in the alley after the gang fight?
Answer: Because the battle between the Chang Sing and Wing Kong was between them and the truck.
