Revealing mistake: When Tigress is hatching a plan to escape Gongmen Tower after they have been trapped, she looks out over the wall. But take a close look at the archers: they all move in perfect sync, indicating the same animation models were used for all of them.
Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
Starring: Gary Oldman, Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black
Continuity mistake: When Po and the Furious Five are in the top floor in Shen's palace, the lights above them are brightly lit. After Mantis smashes the cannon through the floor, the lights turn off.
Trivia: Masters Storming Ox and Ferocious Croc, and the wolves that are Shen's henchmen all make a brief appearance in the opening of the first Kung Fu Panda.
Po: Ah. My old enemy... Stairs.
Po: The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.
Shifu: This could be the end of Kung Fu.
Po: But I just got Kung Fu !
Shifu: And now, you must *save* it !
Question: How did the soothsayer survive the collapse of the tower?
Answer: More than likely she wasn't in the tower when it was destroyed. She directly confronts Shen about destroying the tower and makes no mention of having survived it's collapse. She only comments on his recklessness in destroying his ancestral home.
Question: When Mantis keeps the wolf from firing the weapon, he shouts, "Fear the bug!" Is it some kind of a parody?
Chosen answer: No, it is merely a joke about the size of Mantis and his surprising fighting prowess. "Fear the..." is a somewhat common joke. For example, the University of Maryland uses the unofficial slogan "Fear the turtle!"; the Milwaukee Bucks use the slogan "Fear the deer", etc.

Answer: Since Po's father was presumably the only panda to attack Shen's wolves head-on, there's a chance Shen could have seen him. Plus in the flashback, Shen orders his wolves to attack Po and his mother before Po's father defends them both with his mallet.
