Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

Revealing mistake: When the elderly inmate is pushed over by the other prisoners, a wooden train he made falls out of his clothing. It can be noticed that the man is just holding the train in his hand whilst falling and drops it when he lands on the ground to make it appear as if it fell out of his clothing. He was not meant to be holding the train as it was not shown being held in his hand at any previous point. (00:07:25)
