Continuity mistake: When Gun is having lunch with the Sensei, Gun picks up a bowl of noodles as well as two chopsticks. At first, the two chopsticks are facing outwards. But in the next shot, the two chopsticks are facing inwards toward the bowl. (00:03:53)
Continuity mistake: When Sensei raises the bowl of noodles toward his mouth so that he can drink the broth, the chopsticks he is holding are positioned outside the bowl. The camera changes angles and the chopsticks are now suddenly in the bowl. The chopsticks that Gun is holding also go from outside the bowl, to inside the bowl in between shots. (00:06:37)
Continuity mistake: Whilst everyone is eating breakfast, the boy puts some rice in a wrap, and then places it in his mouth. He is holding the food in his right hand when he does this, but when the shot cuts, he is using his left hand. (00:12:56)
Tampopo: What about your wife?
Gorô: She left with the kids.
Tampopo: Why?
Gorô: I don't know. I grew up in a miserable family, so I wanted to make my own home the warmest there was. I got married. We had kids. And we had a warm home. But I never felt comfortable there. I don't know how to act in a happy home. Before I knew it, my wife was gone... Maybe I'm just a cold-hearted guy.
Man in White Suit: I'll kill you if you make that noise once the movie starts! Understand? And... I also don't like watch alarms going off.
