Factual error: At the start of the movie it said "NEW YORK CITY 2000", then went to a panoramic view of New York City minus the Twin Towers. Even though they stated the year was 2000 and they didn't go down until 2001.
Continuity mistake: When Bennett gives David Stutler the red handkerchief David has no ring. When David opens the handkerchief he is wearing the dragon ring in the shot and then it disappears in the next shot. This occurs after Horvath has taken the ring from David in the previous scene.
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.
Trivia: The Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe that Balthazar drives in this movie was owned by Nicolas Cage himself.
Dave Stutler: I'm afraid of flying on planes!
Balthazar Blake: Well, today's your lucky day 'cause I brought an eagle.
Balthazar Blake: You're a bad liar, Dave. That's good.
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?
