Character mistake: In the scene when Dave is checking out the failed transmitter at the radio station, Dave says "the bad news is your return loss - way too high". This is a mistake, as the movie makers got confused between the terms "return loss" and "insertion loss". Dave should have correctly said either "your return loss - way too low" or "your insertion loss - way too high".
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)
1 character mistake - chronological order
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, Jay Baruchel
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Balthazar and Dave are in Chinatown looking for the Grimhold, Balthazar enters a building to talk to its current owner and encounters Horvath. As Horvath is telling Balthazar that he has released the Chinese sorcerer Sun-lok from the Grimhold, we see him standing behind Balthazar, preparing to attack him with hundreds of accupuncture needles. We see all of the needles float up and out of a doll-like figure on a table as well as some other places. Immediately after the attack, Balthazar runs across the room to the window and the doll is visible with all of the needles back in place.
Dave Stutler: I don't actually know who you are.
Drake Stone: Really? You don't recognize me?
Dave Stutler: Are you in Depeche Mode?
Trivia: The Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe that Balthazar drives in this movie was owned by Nicolas Cage himself.
