Other mistake: During the Bamboo Forest Fight after Mei's bamboo weapon is destroyed, Jin jumps in to rescue her by stopping 4 swords in a close-up shot. But the third sword from the left is underneath Jin's, so should have made contact with Mei.
Other mistake: During the final fight scene between the two protagonists, there is a howling gale which blows snow sideways. yet it never ruffles the protagonists' hair.
Continuity mistake: In the bamboo forest fight scene, Jin and Mei are pinned down by the bamboo spears and they are surrounded by a field of bamboo stakes. But when all the soldiers that were sitting in the bamboo are shot down by the Flying Dagger members, the stakes suddenly all disappear, and then reappear after all the soldiers have landed.
Mei: To be free like the wind.
