Character mistake: After the H event with Athena 2.0, Rance has a chat in the corridor with Crook who asks him about his good mood. In his answer, Rance mentions that Athena is his pet, and Crook is surprised by the notion ("Is she an animal?") and it's like she never heard of her. However, when Rance went to fetch Athena, Crook was with him, and not just that; the two had dialogue together and in that dialogue Crook asked who Athena was and Rance answered "Mmh, something like a pet?"

Character mistake: In the miniature city background (where you fight the Sentai versions of the Ikari Warriors and many others) a billboard on top of a building has the wrong logo, with "King Of Fighter", instead of FighterS.

Sammo ★

Factual error: Most of the action is set in 1988. The prologue with the two little girls is set before or during that year, but the girl scouts are selling "Thindulgent Sandwich cookies", by Sheila G, a brand established after 1992. (00:01:55)

Continuity mistake: When Everly gives the locket to her unflappable daughter, she looks at her in a close-up from the reverse angle where the bear is held lower against her body and with inconsistent lighting. (01:21:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The big bad boss is saying big bad boss things to the protagonist as he rolls up the sleeve. Salma Hayek tells him to shut up and just do it; in that camera angle, the actor (or his body double) has his arms down his side doing nothing, while when Hiroyuki Watanabe is fully in frame he is moving. (01:10:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: If the protagonist chooses during the party to have an intimate encounter with the mature lady, the dialogue mentions she was "murmuring compliments about my irresistable beauty." Should be irresistible.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The opening credits list Tomas Milian, Bo Svenson, Gille Kirsten, etc. Everyone (before and after) by FirstName LastName as customary, except Kirsten Gille.

Other mistake: Jack's eye pops out in a spurt of blood; besides the phony CGI effect, he manages to spray with blood the part of the glasses that faces the camera (the same direction he is facing) and not the side that faces him. Moreover, lengthy blood drips appear on his cheek only at the cut, absent in the first shot. (00:56:45)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: After the crew decided (rather arbitrarily) to use fire to scare the monsters off, the camera zooms on Jack. The zoom through the plane window is a digital effect with the plane being all CGI, and it shows because the perspective is all wrong. Jack would have never been visible from the window at that distance and at that angle. (00:55:55)

Stupidity: If there was a live camera feed right where the eggs were, one wonders how everyone missed the 'small' fact that they hatched. That of course combined with the fact that going for no reason in the nest of the creatures that nearly killed another crewmember is suicidal, and Bob goes with no weapons and with one small plastic fruit crate to fetch eggs that are bigger than an ostrich's. (00:55:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The virtual chess game ends with the queen taking the other queen and then the king as the word "Checkmate" flashes. Ignoring the fact that technically the king is never taken even when checkmate is declared (many videogames add flamboyant animations), it still was not a checkmate. The king in B1 had C1 to go to, it is not under threat. (00:50:55)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When the co-pilot searches for the missing tentacle wielding a hatchet, the creature creeps under the carpet. The distortion from the CGI effect on the rug is easily noticeable. (00:49:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Carol reports to Mike Don's message about the strange creatures eating up the plane's electrical system. Mike removes his visor at the cut, and suddenly on his chair you can spot the fingers of the woman next to him, who had her hand in a different spot before. (00:42:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Mike and the rich couple sit down to play some Virtual Chess. The brunette puts her hand on the guy's shoulder, but at the cut it's on the armchair's back. (00:41:25)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Everyone is by Jack to try to help with the alien monster up his nose. By "everyone" we include the pilot and the copilot. Throughout the rest of the movie they wander about plenty times, both at the same time. The automatic pilot was knocked offline by the storm, and as Bob mentions in a later conversation, it was never fixed. So, who is driving the plane? Rhetorical question.

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jack is lying on the couch (whoever managed to fetch him back from the nest is anyone's guess) with an alien tentacle up his nose. The special effect used to display the invading organism swelling his brains is an obvious image morph that does not look in any way plausible visually alone - let's not even consider the glaring anatomical issues. (00:39:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jack tries to brainstorm a solution with Bob for jammed landing gear problem. Bob is useless though, and just start sobbing. In his close-up you can see the monitor on the console is switched off, while it's on in the wide shots of the room. (00:36:25)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: In Australia, amongst the enemies you can fight spear-wielding "Aggresive Mu Troops."

Sammo ★

Other mistake: After the sniper shot, the phone shows it's 5:45 am. That would mean the movie took place in the space of 5 hours (the phone with the bounty had the time at 12:45); unless her mother lived hours away from the apartment by car, there's no room for the events to unfold in such a timeframe. (01:04:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the phone call, Everly is cradling her mother's body holding it with the right hand on top or at the bottom, it switches around with the change of camera angle. (01:04:00)
