Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Tuba 'possessed' by Rambo sprints towards the bad guy for the final clash, the items on the desk in the room with the money change placement between shots (look at the green jar, for instance, or when Tuba gets knocked down again and jumps over the desk, which at that point has on it just a book that turns and shifts in the reverse shot). (01:24:00 - 01:25:10)

Continuity mistake: A fight ensues inside the market; Tuba watches the two baddies ganging up on Cheung and kicking him through a stack of baskets and some boxes of fruits. Cheung in the first shot is crashing on a box of apples which becomes a box of oranges in the next one. It does not add up. (01:20:20)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When somehow Tuba manages to ask Joanne out, he at first tries to come up with excuses and talks to himself. She overhears him and folds her arms; the way the arms cross changed after it cuts away for a second. Even more noticeably, throughout the conversation she holds the clipboard with a sheet that goes across or does not, depending on the camera angle. (00:51:40)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
