Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Irwin Ingham's big scarf is wrapped around his neck in ever-changing fashion as it can be spotted looking at the striped area being at different height each time. (00:03:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Sammo Hung just left the bus to ride the bike with his cousin Jenny. They ride talking about Stallone and the USA, and the boxes of Nike shoes are tied to his bike differently when they arrive compared to when they started. (00:23:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Pettibon's fighter tries to cheapshot Chaney at the very beginning, but Chaney has none of it and counters. Cut to a longshot, and you can see that Gayleen who was clinging to Speed's arm is nowhere near, and Speed himself holds the coat and hat in a much different way. (00:33:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The protagonist is puzzled by the sight of many people looking at the sky. When she decides to pull over and figure out the reason, the kids that were playing soccer in the lawn have changed position between shots. A much bigger inconsistency happens a minute later, when the eclipse obscures the sky (with a rather lo-tech effect that borders on being a revealing mistake itself), the kids have stopped playing ball, but in a longshot they are still shown playing. (00:03:00 - 00:04:15)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: After Pettibon strong-arms the protagonists out of the bet, Chaney makes a cryptic proposal to Speed, about driving around and seeing the sights. There's a shot of the car that not only feels 'off' because it's sped up, but also sees the stand-in for Poe and the one for Chaney have swapped position. (00:37:00)

Sammo ★

Factual error: To get back the money they (il)legitimately won, Chaney fights with Pettibon's men inside a bar. They brawl near a pinball machine identifiable as a modified version of "Majors - 1941" (you can see its logo distinctly), which was manufactured, obviously, in 1941. The movie is supposed to be set in 1933. (00:37:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Gandil and his men leave the cage as Chaney and Jim Henry begin their fight. The weasely bookie grabs the cage above the thick horizontal bar in one shot, but his hand is below the bar in the next shot. (00:49:25)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Chaney vandalizes Pettibon's bar shooting 8 times from the 6 rounds cylinder revolver he pilfered. (00:39:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Chaney sends one of Pettibon's guys flying over the pool table, Pettibon is standing dumbfounded with a beer in hand holding it at different height between shots. Likewise, the man that is hunched to the right of the screen casts on the wall a shadow in a different position between shots. (00:37:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Pettibon angrily throws his hat seeing his man got KO'd, the reactions and positions of the people around him change noticeably between shots - look for instance at the lanky aide who walks towards the fallen fighter and how he begins to walk at different times, being in different positions. (00:35:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Chaney and Speed and his girlfriend drive to the country festival where the fight with Pettibon's guy will take place. When they come out of the car, you can see it's exceptionally dusty. Practically covered. However, when they drive away after being effectively robbed of the fight purse, the car is clean - you can spot the contrast looking at the back of the car when they drive away; it's all grimy when the gangsters are laughing them off, and it cuts to a spotless trunk. (00:32:00 - 00:36:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Henry and Chaney struggle for position with Chaney's arm under the brute's chin, Robert Tessier's right hand is grabbing the cage much higher at first, then head-high. (00:51:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Speed and Poe crash the fancy party to set up the bet for 3 grands. James Coburn chews up a toast (and the scenery) saying he'll take Chick Gandil's odds. He chewed the toast whole, but at the next cut the toast reappears in his other hand, previously free. (00:43:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Chaney beats up the gangster who attacks him in the bar brawl and sends him over the pool table - he does it twice with different timings in two separate shots. (00:37:45)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Establishing shots of the party where Chaney will fight Pettibon's guy; when we see the band play and people dance, the footage is rather obviously stopped and reversed to give the impression of a longer shot (evidently they had too little usable film of the crowd dancing). (00:31:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Speed arranges on the phone Chaney's first fight in New Orleans against Mr. Pettibon's man. The people you see walking through the doors of the barbershop never carry over from one shot to the next. (00:30:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Chaney gets his cup of coffee at the diner where he spots Lucy Simpson for the first time, the cup turns on its own between shots, as shown by the position of its handle The cup faces away from him again at the end of the sequence when he decides to go be a manly man and molest her. (00:14:50)

Sammo ★

Factual error: In the establishing shot of the street where Chaney rents in 1930s New Orleans, you can see the sign for Angel Sheet Metal Works, which was created in 1968. (00:13:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Chuck is taking a beating after failing to corner his opponent, look at the guy in a red tie cheering by them; out of nowhere has a cigarette pops in his mouth, he chews it with a De Niro-esque underbite, and it disappears suddenly at the cut. (00:06:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Chaney says momentarily goodbye to Speed Weed and Gayleen Schoonover at the New Orleans station, the passengers walking off the train and behind Bronson change with no consistency between shot and reverse angle. (00:12:25)
