Revealing mistake: In the close-up shot of Hai's stomach when he removes his intestines, it is apparent that the blood that was used is not real blood, but in fact red-coloured water. The blood shown here does not have the thickness that real blood has and drips way too much like water. (00:37:41)

Continuity mistake: When Hai stabs Kuang against the side of his face, blood is shown slowly poring out of the wound on Kuang's face. The camera then cuts to focus on Hai, and the blood coming out of Kuang's wound is suddenly spurting much quicker. (00:32:32)

Other mistake: When Hai is speaking with Kuang just after stopping him from killing the bald inmate, Hai asks Kuang if he kills him, what do they say to the assistant warden. There is an error involving the English subtitles regarding Kuang's next line. Kuang's line, in the subtitles, is listed across two rows, but the rows are displayed in the wrong order. The first row reads "him, we won't take it anymore." And the second row reads "Hai, lots of men have died because of", which makes no sense when it's all put together. The full line should have been displayed as "Hai, lots of men have died because of him, we won't take it anymore." But it has incorrectly been displayed as "him, we won't take it anymore. Hai, lots of men have died because of." (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).
