Continuity mistake: Dean flies off the ring when the ringside clock is at 1:07 and lands at 1:03. That's a pretty long fly, even if it was a spinning kick from Van Damme to knock you off your feet. The ref then calls the match off when the countdown is at 1:04. (01:25:35)

Continuity mistake: The Karate Fight Emcee motions the two teams to get quiet after their ring entrance. He does it holding the arena microphone in his left hand, which becomes his right hand all of a sudden, since the left is holding his cue card. (01:19:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Waiting for the match to begin, Kelly tells her cute friend "That was so much fun last night" as some dweeb stares at them. The chair next to Kelly is empty, and will be in other shots by the same angle, but in wider views there's a girl on that seat. (01:16:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the "Seattle Sidekicks" get on the ring apron, Kelly is standing in the first shot, already seated in the next shot. (01:18:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the locker room before the fight, Ian tells Frank and the others "Warm up well, guys." The other person is taping his wrist in the first shot, his palm in the next, and back to the wrist at the cut. (01:17:05)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The TV commentators for the final fight sit at their table with bleachers in the background, but the other shots of the 'arena' show it's nothing more than a gym with everyone sitting at the same level. (01:16:20)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The final fight is advertised on every wall, everywhere in the newspapers, and with TV and radio coverage. The fight with excessive violence the Mafia is doing to have a hostile takeover of a business. It does not make a lot of sense. The plan the bad guys try to implement here, is using famous respectable dojos to sell drugs. If they show the violence and non-cooperation of the owners, the legitimacy of the business and its appeal as front kinda goes away. Which really also underlines how stupid the whole plan is and how easily it would be exposed.

Sammo ★

Factual error: For the climax of the movie, the bad guy arrives from New York to Seattle, and hops on a limo with a California license plate. (01:14:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Throughout the dance club sequence, Kelly in several shots, from the very opening when she is in the background, up until everyone gets on the dancefloor, can be spotted with a guy standing next to her in a shirt similar to the protagonist's. But she has no date for and she came with a couple of girlfriends. (01:10:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: RJ does some breakdance routine before inviting everyone on the dancefloor. As he does the final kip-up, the white dude in blackface who bodydoubles him nearly loses his wig. (01:11:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When RJ slides into the dancefloor after the interpretative dance routine of the couple in red, he does it right away in the closer view, but in the wider angle he starts more from afar, and Jason is clapping instead of standing all stoic with his arms folded. (01:11:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the establishing shot of the disco joint where a couple is breakdancing, notice in the audience a guy with a purple and teal gym jacket and pants. Later the protagonist and his sidekick park their car and as they walk towards the entrance, here's that same guy just now arriving as well. Same goes for other extras like the girl with fuchsia shirt and white pants. (01:09:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jason beats the 4 slobs outside of the bar and sends them away running. The shadow of the parked trailer changes angle between shots as he walks back to his dad. (01:09:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jason charges in to save his dad from the beating. He breezes past the three goons and the last to charge him is the drunk dude that caused the whole commotion. In the middle shot that follows it's blatant that the exchange starts with the guy on his feet, standing, and not running at Jason, and there are visible pauses between the punches where he is waiting to be counterpunched. Completely open and still. (01:08:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Karate Man is attacked by Coca Cola shirt, Fat Guy with a Mullet grabs him from behind. His right arm is above the aggressor's, but in the next shot it's into his clutch. (01:08:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Karate Man is surrounded by a bunch of awfully looking guys in the parking lot. The dude with the sponsor's shirt begins to attack him charging his right fist. Next shot and attacks with a left hook. (01:08:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When by extraordinary luck Jason's mum can't go pick up dad exactly the day that he has to fight off a bunch of thugs, notice on the front of the car the fake Washington state license plate about to come off. (01:07:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Jason's reaction when he sees Bruce Lee walk back into the light is just silly. He perfectly sees him walk away, but he looks left and right and springing on his toes as if he were trying to look past an obstacle. Not investigate a doorway. (01:04:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jason finally kicks the suspended bag. He frees his foot from the noose, but he's in a different position and different is the height his leg is at and the band that tightens the noose. Even the photography and/or lighting, for no reason. (01:03:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Sensei Lee tells Jason some mumbo-jumbo about seeing the impossible to make it happen. When he says "And know it can't be stopped" the light of the scene is different, going more or less from night to day. (01:03:45)
