Continuity mistake: During the final battle, when the planes arrive, pay attention to Evie when she says the line "Jonathan certainly knows how to make an entrance!" Between cuts, she instantly goes from being about two feet away from Rick to pressed right up against him.

Continuity mistake: During the chase scene, after Jonathan says "We can use this!" Rick rips the top off a large box and throws it behind him. In the first shot, only Rick is lifting the box-top, but when it cuts to the next shot, suddenly Jonathan is helping him lift it. The cut is instant, so there's no time for Jonathan to have reached down and grabbed it between edits.

Trivia: It's noticeable that the series drops in quality in season 3. This is because ABC hired the consulting firm "Q5" to rework their lineup in an attempt to boost ratings. Unfortunately, Q5 seemed to misunderstand the series, and forced the creative team to unnecessarily change it. Their changes included making Janine a blander character and relegating Winston to just being "the driver." The crew hated the changes, which they felt were often racist and sexist. Some even left out of protest.

Trivia: Since Roger's voice actor Charles Fleischer would wear a Roger costume to "get into character," producers and executives from other productions who happened to see him would often mistakenly think he was the actual character that would appear in the final film. Evidently, it was a running joke at the studio for people to talk about "how bad the rabbit movie looks," since they didn't realise the finished film would include an actual cartoon character.

Trivia: One of many movies impacted by the COVID pandemic. It's release was pushed back a full year from October, 2020 to October, 2021.

Continuity mistake: When Alex and Rick are discussing their guns and battle tactics, when Alex says the line "I say we ambush them with long-range rifles...", pay attention to Jonathan sitting in the background. In the first shot Jonathan only just starts to stand up. But then it cuts to a closeup of him, and he's not only standing all the way up, but he's also walking to the left. The cut is instant, so there's no time for him to have finished standing up and started walking between the cuts.

Trivia: The film was originally supposed to have a production budget of $32 million. However, before filming, it was slashed all the way down to $17 million. This is part of the reason for the film's poor quality - the production lost almost 50% of its budget at the last minute.

Trivia: Came out almost exactly 25 years after the original. The original came out in December 1996. This film came out January 2022, with a difference of only about three weeks.

Trivia: In the prison sequence, at one point a TV is visible in the background playing the famous and infamous cult-film "The Toxic Avenger." "The Toxic Avenger" was produced by the independent studio Troma Entertainment. Director James Gunn actually got his start working for Troma, writing the cult favorite "Tromeo and Juliet," and doing various other behind-the-scenes jobs on several other Troma productions. As a thank-you, Gunn often includes Troma easter-eggs in his films.

Question: Not strictly a question about the movie, but is there any reason why, as of 2022, director Stephen Sommers hasn't directed any more movies after "Odd Thomas?" It's been 11 years since this movie was actually shot (and 8 years since its release), and the only thing he's done since this movie has been executive producing two direct-to-video "Scorpion King" sequels. He did some pretty popular films in the 90's and early 2000's, so it seems strange that he's just sort-of disappeared recently.

Continuity mistake: During the final fight, around when Rick says "Enough tricks! Where is your honor?!" there's a quick shot of Alex unconscious. His body is leaning against a pillar. About 2 seconds later, Rick runs up on top of a globe-shaped structure (right before he says "Fight like a man!"), and Alex is visible on the side of frame - he's in a completely different position and no longer leaning against the pillar. There's not enough time for him to have moved between the two shots, plus he's knocked out.

Continuity mistake: At one point during the big battle, Rick and Evie run up a small hill and Rick grabs a sword from the ground after running out of ammo. Evie is behind him. The camera cuts to a different angle as Rick charges at some terracotta warriors, and suddenly Evie is in front of him and running behind him again.

Audio problem: When Yang is about to bring the Emperor to life, he says "Once this touches him, the Emperor will rise... to rule again!" When he says "to rule again!" his mouth is closed. It's a very wide shot, so you have to look closely to notice... but his mouth is definitely closed.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When she's first given the Eye of Shangri-La by her old associate, Evie is holding it and the box it came from in front of her is open. There's a few very quick cuts, and suddenly she's no longer holding it and the box in front of her is closed. There's no time for her to have put it away and closed the box between cuts, nor do we hear the box being closed. It seems like a few shots of her putting it away has been edited out to quicken the pacing of the scene. Regardless, it's a mistake.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When their old associate is first giving Rick and Evie the Eye of Shangri-La, watch closely when Rick says "Just out of curiosity, what is the mission?" After he delivers this line, there's an edit, and his facial expression completely changes instantly between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Alex and Wilson are exploring the tomb, Alex tries to run back to their dead associates, and Wilson grabs him. Right as Wilson says his last "Alex!" pay attention. In the first shot, his hand is around Alex's neck, but in the second, it's suddenly not. Additionally, Alex goes from facing forward to facing Wilson instantly between the same edit.

Audio problem: When the Emperor is about to show Juan the execution of General Ming, there's a wide shot, and he says the line "Come, I want to show you something." If you look closely though, his mouth is closed the entire line.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the prologue, when the Emperor tells Yuan to rise, he lifts his left hand in a friendly manner. It then cuts to a shot from behind, and his arm is instantly down at his side.

Trivia: Agent Stone works at a coffee shop called "Mean Bean." This is a reference to the "Sonic" spin-off video game "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine."

Trivia: At one point in time, Rick was going to be killed off to make his son Alex the new star of the series, but this was (thankfully) changed early on in the writing process.
