Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)
Revealing mistake: Just after the warden has shot the assistant warden with the bullet made for shooting elephants, there is a shot of the assistant warden's body inflating. In the shot, we can see that really bad prosthetics have been added to his forehead, cheeks, nose and chin to make it appear as if his head is inflating. It is extremely noticeable where the prosthetics end and where his real face begins, making the whole effect appear completely unnatural. (01:23:12)

Other mistake: Just after the warden tells Ricky they are trained in the same kung fu style, Ricky thinks to himself for a moment. The subtitles read 'If your opponent is strong, use your wits to beat him', but before the start of the line, before the word "If", a randomly placed comma can be seen at the start of the line. There is no reason for this comma to be here since there are no words shown before it. Clearly this was an unintentional error made when the subtitles were being typed out. (This depends on which format and which studio distribution you are watching, but it can definitely be seen on the Region B Blu-Ray distributed by MediumRare). (01:28:10)

Revealing mistake: Just after the warden throws Ricky to the ground, when he finishes saying "Your strength doesn't even come close to mine", he starts doing an evil laugh and here, we can see the actor's real tongue and teeth behind the fake prosthetic suit that he is wearing. (01:28:02)

Continuity mistake: In the final fight scene, there is a moment where Ricky punches straight through the warden's stomach and punches out through the other side. The shot then cuts to the warden for a second, but when the shot cuts again, Ricky's arm has suddenly been completely removed from the warden's stomach. No way could Ricky have removed his entire arm from the warden's stomach that quickly. (01:27:33)
