Continuity mistake: The reporters in the movie are hiding and video tapping the "drug deal gone bad" at the beginning of the movie. For the location that they are taping, there isn't any movement, they stay in one place. However, when the kids are watching the tape both times, it seems to be like an actual tape of what was going on, not what they could have taped, because, not only do they have cuts (going from one actors face to the next with no transitions) but they also show a shot where you could see where the cameraman was hiding, little hard for him to hit that angle!
Mr. Nice Guy (1987)
Directed by: Henry Wolfond
Starring: Jackie Chan, Harvey Atkin, Jan Smithers, Mike MacDonald, Joe Silver
Genres: Comedy
Visible crew/equipment: When Jackie is climbing out of the building that is attacked, in the shot from below him as he's climbing back onto the plank, you can easily see a wire holding him.
Revealing mistake: When being chased down the street and Jackie is in the horse carriage, he throws a guy through a window. You can see the glass has been pre shattered and therefore easier to break.
Trivia: The biker that gets hit by the Devil driver, then later gets to beat him up is the film's director, Samo Huny.
Trivia: Because of the wreckage the film team had left in its wake, Jackie Chan is forbidden to film in Melbourne again.
