Continuity mistake: While Chi Chi is sparring with the guy who hits her with not much fair play, some guy is doing kung fu forms on a tall pillar. Chi Chi disposes of the opponent, jumps off to greet Goku, and the guy suddenly vanishes from that peak. (00:36:10)
Continuity mistake: Chi Chi asks Goku to take a walk with her. They do, and end up standing in a gorge; depending on the angle of the take, Chi Chi's hair is windblown or not. Especially obviously at the beginning when a big wisp of hair gets blown across her face as she says "Before you suddenly took off", and then everything is completely quiet with no wild hair in the close-up that follows. It keeps happening. (00:36:20)
Continuity mistake: At the very crowded secret training spot, Chi Chi and Goku are interrupted in their chat by Muten yelling his name. The trainees are turned facing away from the camera and some guy with a jumpsuit similar to Goku's in the anime is kinda wandering by Muten. Cut to Goku and Chi Chi, the wandering guy vanished and all the students are shadow punching towards them, and they'll stay that way for the rest of the scene. (00:36:50)
Continuity mistake: Bulma and her passengers are driving through a fairly horrid-looking green screen. They are proceeding along a street coasted with a fence. She takes a sharp left turn, Goku loses his balance, but the view shown has the fence already at distance. (00:37:55)
Continuity mistake: When Bulma falls in Muten's arms, on the overhead shot you can see her knock the sunglasses off his ear. In the close-up though, Chow Yun-Fat wears them perfectly. (00:38:05)
Continuity mistake: Bulma asks the others to let her handle the talk with the handsome stranger at the top of the hole. When she says "I'd be uh, so grateful..." you can see the backpack Roshi was salvaging, perfectly propped against the bike. But in the previous shot it was just lying around on the ground. Inconsistencies between different angles keep repeating during the whole bit. (00:38:35)
Continuity mistake: Yamcha falls on his butt once Muten hops up from the pit and faces him. He holds on to the car's fender and pulls himself up in the reverse shot, when Chow Yun-Fat says "Send down a net." Cut to Goku and then he's again down and holding on to the fender. (00:41:10)
Continuity mistake: Searching for the ball in the lava pit, Bulma holds the radar in a close-up with both hands, the left one has a finger pointed underneath the fingers of the right. In the previous and following shot she 's running the index in front of them. (00:43:40)
Continuity mistake: After creating a videogame-like bridge in the lava pushing enemies in it, Goku jumps on the parapet. There's an obvious inconsistency here; in the first shot when he puts his hands on the edge, Bulma and especially Yamcha are nowhere near ready. In the following shot Goku has yet to pop the head past the edge but Yamcha and Bulma are leaning against it comfortably already. (00:45:25)
Continuity mistake: During the Mai vs Chi Chi fight at the Toisan tournament, many different takes have been edited together, since the referees appear in semi-random positions on either side of the fighters. (00:49:20)
Continuity mistake: Mai puts the blood sample in the vial holding the blade with the thumbpad underneath the metal in the closeup, on the external part in the shots before and after. (00:49:55)
Continuity mistake: Chi Chi after her fight runs to hug Goku. Right by him there's a guy in a brown gi; he's so close that in the shots from behind Justin Chatwin you can still see that ugly gi in frame. All of a sudden though, once Goku asks "What's this?" referring to Chi Chi's scratch caused by Mai, Brown Gi Guy, so conspicuous earlier in his standing, is now sitting, out of the way. He is up and seen in the act of sitting at the next shot from behind. (00:50:10)
Continuity mistake: When Bulma and Yamcha are bonding, right at the beginning they go up some stairs. There are some extras that are descending, and are pretty characteristic; one has a blue hat, one a white fisherman hat and a yellow shirt, and the third a white tunic with a peculiar pattern. Yamcha and Bulma talk a bit, and while they do, there's a brief cut to one of the salesmen downstairs. And guess what? Walking down the stairs by him there's the aforementioned trio of extras, walking down that same flight of stairs as before. (00:50:30)
Continuity mistake: When the fake Chi Chi points the gun at Goku, her hair suddenly is all the way in front of her arm/shoulder, in a noticeable difference with the previous take. (00:59:25)
Continuity mistake: In the temple, while Muten Roshi and Yamcha are by Goku, Bulma and sifu Norris are by Chi Chi. She moves a bit then is unconscious, in the background. Her arms go limp with the palms up. As Roshi inhales. Chi Chi is lying with the palm down. Later in the scene the arm is back on her lap and slipped down the shot that follows. (00:59:55 - 01:01:00)
Continuity mistake: When Goku is called back to life with the Kamehameha, he screams. You can see, next to Justin Chatwin's head, master Roshi's knee. Couple shots later, both Chow Yun-Fat and Chatwin let go and drop on the floor, but the knee is still where and as it was in the new close-up. (01:00:00)
Continuity mistake: After he's been shot, Goku is lying on the ground with his eyes closed; they are open during the rest of the scene once the shot with Muten saying "He's alive" ends. (01:00:00)
Continuity mistake: When Goku calls forth Shenron, Chow Yun-Fat is lying in a different spot on the ground between the wide shots and the close-up (look at the rock by his ear). (01:13:15)
