Sammo

Continuity mistake: After chilling in the pond a while, the ninja resumes killing cops left and right. He does not hit one with his katana (but he dies anyway), then he turns around to throw a shuriken at another; this new guy before the camera cuts away is simply raising his empty hands to die, but in close-up he's being more menacing, since he's aiming the gun. (00:10:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The ninja kills the idiotic policeman who went in really close to check out the reed in the pond, and then runs away. He is as you'd expect completely soaked in water, but at the next cut he's totally dry. (00:10:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the second cop on a motorcycle falls into the lake, the stuntman deserves good cards from the judges for his dive, but in an earlier shot the ninja had already knocked him off the bike, into the dirt. (00:07:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The police car that crashes into the lake has a perfectly intact roof; its roof was previously shot through, stabbed and punched through. (00:07:20)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: The first motorbike cop killed by the ninja screams in agony with his mouth properly closed. (00:07:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the cops try to kill the ninja blasting through the patrol car roof with the shotgun, the officer's hands swap position between shots. (00:06:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Police cars get to the golf course, where the ninja somehow is still hanging out in the open. The footage of the car doing a U turn beginning to chase him is sped-up to Benny Hill levels. (00:06:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The guards of the golf course arrive to the crime scene and approach the corpse. One of them grabs his radio and calls the cops. He's by the corpse of the attractive partner of the main victim; look closely and, without wanting to paint any intent in his action, he ends up with a handful of the actress' bare thigh. In the next shot he's talking on the radio with a firm grip on a more sensible limb; her arm. (00:05:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the ninja shows his super-strength by lifting the golf cart, his left-hand keeps changing position at the back of the vehicle. (00:04:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The evil ninja blows a dart inside the barrel of a gun making it explode when the bodyguard fires. Forgetting the fact that the movement is unnatural and patently phony since the film is reversed, the dart also fully 'disappears' inside the gun and yet again when we see the guy about to shoot there's an inch-long of dart sticking out of the gun. (00:04:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole first fight scene the natural light is obviously different between shots. It is already noticeable at the very beginning when the golfer stands by the cart with much more sun on him in close-ups, but also even more obvious when the ninja downs the first opponent that falls in the shade but is lying fully in the sun as his partner assaults the not-so-elusive killer. (00:03:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The ninja suits up during the opening credits; he reaches inside the weapon stash with his left hand to pick the shurikens, but in the following shot he draws back his right hand. (00:02:40)

Sammo ★

Bug: At the end of the battle with False Advent Orochi in Epic Quest, the "Continue Challenge" message flashes briefly on screen. The battle has no further phases and the message (accompanied by its blaring siren) appears in a completely different type of event.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When "Highball" scores a strike against the hobo, there is a reaction shot on the 4 homeless guys to the right. The one closest to the camera (rightmost one) is watching with his right hand on his knee, but his hand is on the hat he's wearing in the next shot. (00:58:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The watch that the poor man's Q of this movie provided is supposed to buy 10 seconds of time ("1 second stretched to 10, single use", that activates when he presses the wheel), but the power works in a completely different way, since in those "10 seconds" Deth takes his time to assess the situation and watch bullets float, then grabs Helen Hunt, stare his mortal enemy down without doing a thing to him and then carries her from the back parking lot of the store to the car parked in the front. Not even Husain Bolt (at most Dio Brando, with a very similar time-freeze gimmick) would be able to do that, not to mention that flying bullets somehow are slower than liquor pouring from a bottle.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Jack tries to break free from the tanning booth, ramming his shoulder against the wall causes a severe burn that instantly singes the trenchcoat, but in the rest of the scene he keeps leaning against the same section of the booth without getting grilled. (00:29:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Leena somehow buys Deth's story, and he tells her eventually "So you'll help me." The steering wheel rotates significantly between shots. Same after a brief cut to Whistler when they pull over in front of the "Tropical Tube Tan"; suddenly Deth's left hand on top of the wheel becomes the right hand. (00:26:35 - 00:27:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jack (p) reincarnated in his ancestor is talking to the booty call in the Santa suit. He mechanically repeats "Lost souls, yeah..." as he throws the tie over his shirt. He turns around, and in the next shot the tie conveniently adjusted itself going under the collar. (00:18:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Jack glances at the front of the baseball card the Consul gives him, and he says "Hap Ashby, 1963 Angels." He has no idea who that guy from 200 years before is, but the card does not say the year, and he's not a psychic. (00:15:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Jack receives the baseball card from the Consul, he's holding the other photo from the top, which becomes the bottom in close-up. (00:15:55)
