The Next Karate Kid

Factual error: When Eric goes to help the guy who got hurt after bungee jumping at the dance, the guy's line is long enough to allow him to lay flat on the ground. If it was really that long he would have crashed into the floor and not gone back up.

Revealing mistake: In the fight between Julie and Ned, when she does the last kick to take him down, it's obvious that she doesn't actually kick him.

Revealing mistake: One of the monks bowls a gutterball which jumps out at the last second to become a strike, but as it does the 10 pin begins falling before the ball contacts any of the pins.

THE GAMER NEXT DOOR
