Corrected entry: When Tong Po wins the fight, he tears Eric's champion belt in half. When Kurt and Winston load him into the van, Kurt places the undamaged belt onto the stretcher next to Eric.

Correction: First off, Tong Po doesn't rip the belt in half, because the metal is in the middle. He ends up tearing part of the strap off and the metal plaque stays intact. When we see Kurt following the guys outside, we see the two pieces. When they load Eric into the van, Kurt puts the bigger, damaged, belt piece on top.

Corrected entry: In the scene right after Tong Po paralyzes Eric, Tong Po is shown tearing the championship belt in half. Minutes later, when Eric is being removed from the ring on the stretcher, Van Damme is shown grabbing for the championship belt, which now appears to be intact.

Correction: I've just watched it on a 52in plasma screen, and the belt is in 2 parts from when Tong Po tears it in half and onwards.

Continuity mistake: When Kurt goes grocery shopping for Xian, some kids splash him with water from the pump. During the entire rest of the scene, the water marks on his shirt keep changing size and shape, and grow quite considerably from the first small sprinkle. In addition, the back of his shirt is completely dry when he goes up to the store, but when the fight breaks out, almost all of his back is wet, and these stains also change shape from one moment to the next.

Question: Was there any reason why Tong Po is listed as being played by himself when he was played by Michel Qissi? This is in the film's credit, I know IMDB listed Qissi as the actor. And if this was just a mistake, was there an explanation given as to how it was made or got past editing?
