Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja has been unmasked, somehow both warriors get scared by the cop sirens. Christie escapes through a window; in the first shot the window is half-opened, in the second, all of a sudden all she has to do is push the fly screen, as the window frame has been removed.

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja drops a large wooden board on Yamada, Sho Kosugi's hands are positioned differently between shots, and when he breaks it, the two large pieces end up in different spots depending on the camera angle, even few seconds when the Black Ninja keeps going Donkey Kong on their opponent throwing more garbage at him.

20th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: In the opening phases of the fight between the two ninjas, the one possessing Christie tries to stab Yamada through a window. In close-up, Sho Kosugi has both hands on the brick sill, but in the next shot his left hand is still distant and closer to the doorframe. (01:08:20)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)

Continuity mistake: When Christie kicks a cop head-first into a gravestone shattering it (the gravestone, not the head, although one wonders how just the latter could happen), the stone breaks in two completely different ways in separate shots. (01:06:55)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the ninja parries the baton strike from the guy making all the swooshing noise, her right side of the body (and her arm, specifically) are already prepared to hit the second guy while the left hand brings down the baton. The next shot though opens with her right arm low and her left arm high over her head. (01:06:45)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the patrol car chases the ninja at the funeral shooting at her with a shotgun, there's a POV shot from the driver, who has his right hand at 12 o'clock on the wheel. Reverse angle and the hand is gone. It happens again moments later when the driver stops the car, and at the cut it switches from 10 to 2 o'clock with opposite hands. (01:05:50)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Yamada knocks out the group of three guards he failed to sneak past at the morgue, the guard to the left goes down dropping the nightstick at distance and at a certain angle. Yamada walks past them and the baton is closer and at a different angle. (00:55:55)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the priest tries to read from a scroll and gets laughed off by the ninja demon, he is holding the scroll in a different way between shots - just use the little string as reference. (00:51:10)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Billy pays the wise man from the Orient, the wad of bills does a 180° between shots. (00:47:45)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: Christie is making out with the sleazy cop. We get a close-up of the poisoned ring and how she turned it, and she is ready to strike. She has both arms over his shoulders, both for the close-up of the fatal gesture, the arm is out of the way. (00:44:00)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: At the spa, Christie opens her robe. The darker haired lady-friend of the sleazy cop turns towards her noticing what she'd doing, but the following reaction shot begins with her still engaged in conversation; she notices the competition only a moment later. (00:43:10)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the spa, notice how Christie lets nonchalantly go the towels she used as an excuse to get in the room with the ladies and the sleazy cop Jimenez. She does the deed killing everyone, then as she walks away look at the towels and their much neater placement on the bench. (00:43:05 - 00:44:35)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)

17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: Christie takes a breather after she called Billy. The position of her hand on the receiver - her pinky and ring fingers are at a very peculiar angle that she can't easily change - are suddenly different at the cut. (00:33:40)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The male protagonist acts sassy about the Christine not liking cops and pulls over. His hand in the next shot is on top of the steering wheel, and in the first one it wasn't. (00:25:41)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Christie's friend checks out the katana, she is suddenly leaning with her right arm against the railing at the cut. (00:20:20)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The first time we meet Christie, she is climbing a telephone pole for her job. She secures the position, and we get close-ups of the actress. She then begins her work using the box that appeared in front of her during those close-ups, because there was no such box in the first view of the pole. (00:13:20)
