Sammo

Continuity mistake: Walker witnesses the music playing and the guards wrecking the demonic machine; he constantly has his left hand held up in the air in the close-ups, but in the other angle he shifted that hand to lean against the door. (00:15:45)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: April's walkman keeps playing for a while spreading in the air the suave notes of The Barrio Boyzz's "Conga" even when the batteries already came out on the first strike. (00:15:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: April's walkman is very conveniently prone to play randomly. She puts it down on the floor, but it is, together with the headphones, positioned differently practically at every shot in particular when the guards start bashing it and everything is closer together in close-up than in wider angles. (00:15:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the sequence set in present time when the Turtles interact with Kenshin, once he faints seeing the giant Japanese-speaking rat the shopping bags on the table changed position - the blue bag the wind knocked on the floor is back, and the red bag is up and not horizontal. (00:12:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Leonardo shouts "He's a man!" when Kenshin appears in the Turtles' hideout; he is holding in the foreground with the right hand his book about katanas, but in the next shot it's on the table, under his left hand. (00:11:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: April materializes in the same spot as Kenshin; her headset is placed away from the collar of the kimono. She is still in the same position when she spots the priest, but the collar is underneath the headphones now. (00:11:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kenshin throws a temper tantrum in a room with several statues. The doors open and a strong wind blows; the position of the scrolls on the table changes between shots; they are first closed by the edge of the table, then unfurl from a position much further behind. (00:10:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Walker's henchmen dump on the court Lord Norinaga's sentinels and walk away. They are already shown posing with evil smirks and all that in the next shot while Walker is doing his threatening speech. (00:08:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: We first see Lord Norinaga in a close-up looking at his son's arrival. His helmet is tied under his chin, but when he walks in the helmet's cord is split above and below the chin. (00:07:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When April O'Neil arrives bringing gifts, she leaves the manhole cover completely open - there's also an awful lot of light coming from there, as if the abandoned subway station were built inches away from the surface. (00:05:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the introduction of the turtles, Michaelangelo's bandana goes from the back of the shoulder to the front and then both ends behind the shoulders between shots. (00:04:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kenshin loses his sword battling with the guards at the beginning of the movie. The sword gets stuck almost horizontally in a tree stump. Then one of the guards grabs it as he rides by with his horse, but the katana is now stuck in the tree at a sharper angle which makes it possible to reach for it and grab it on the fly. (00:02:35)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The movie feels the need to justify the fact that everyone in 1603 Japan happens to speak English (something most kid movies just gloss over) by explaining that they are trading with Great Britain, and therefore the locals picked up the language. That's real cute, but also blatantly false. Trade with the British empire was rather sparse, mostly with Dutch mediation, and knowledge of the English language was practically nonexistent - here, any peasant and even kids are practically bilingual.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The broken donut looks different in Rahzar's palm from the close-up to the moment before the fight begins. (01:08:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Once Shredder yells "Let the games begin", there is a cut on, so to say, the bleachers with the various Foot clansmember cheering and waving their weapons around enthusiastically. Their enthusiasm is too much and/or the weapons are too fake, because you can see their staves bending and jiggling like toys. (01:06:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the first phase of the final showdown with the monsters, Shredder calls them to battle shouting "Tokka! Rahzar! Let the games begin." Midway through his shout-out there's a cut, and the Ooze canister is tilted differently. (01:06:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Once Chief Sterns has delivered his off-the-record speech about his off-the-record record, April chases him around to actually get something off him; in the background you can easily tell by the sudden shift in sunlight on the store signs and tents that time has passed between the two shots. (01:00:30)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Shredder unleashes Tokka and Rahzar in a residential part of New York. The time is not stated but two senior citizens are taking a cab and there are a cafe and other stores open, it's not quite the middle of the night. Yet the police and the journalists are on the case only the morning after in full daylight. (00:59:45)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: When the Turtles are leaving the junkyard they rescued Raphael from, the incredibly agile ninjas of the enemy clan can't simply jump over a van, or just slide over the hood. (00:54:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Tokka tosses Leonard like a bowling ball; the Foot ninjas tumble and fall even when they are miles away from making any contact. (00:53:00)
