Continuity mistake: Mr. Stillwell limps his way into the parking lot after work, his jacket on his shoulder. He gets blindsided by an ugly dude who punches him away and...the jacket is gone, lost forever, not on the ground, just vanished. (01:08:00)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Van Damme flies out of the ring (handspringing like a pro-wrestler), the surprise and cheer from Ian's cornerpeople is different across the two shots (for instance, Dean leans in to look at two very different times). (01:35:40)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: Van Damme rips his shirt off and drops the gloves. Starts circling his young opponent. You can see the items he drops but a couple of shots later they are in the corner in different position, which will change again when he brutalizes the opponent against the ropes. (01:34:00)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: Ivan in his rage puts Ian through the ropes flipping him; to be flipped, Ron Pohnel is holding the ropes; the second one in the first shot, the top rope in the second shot. (01:32:55)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: For the final part of Ian and Ivan's first round, the timer jumps from 1:03 to 0:58 during one of Ian's punches. (01:29:35)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: Ian and Ivan start trading blows with the referee looking at them kinda frightened in the corner, both arms over the top rope. Next shot and he's watching the same exchange but with his hands down. (01:28:55)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: Soon in the Ian vs Ivan fight the two end up on the ground exchanging kicks. Kelly is at ringside; her hair is in a different position on the lapel of her jacket between shots. (01:28:45)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: Scott and Ian get in the ring to carry Frank away. Dean is holding the second ring up with his right arm, which becomes the left at the cut. (01:27:30)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: The time jumps ahead from 1:23 to 1:14 when Van Damme throws his second opponent in the ropes wrestling-style. (01:27:20)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Continuity mistake: In his fight with Sugarfoot Peter Cunningham, Van Damme unbalances him right away and starts kicking him while he staggers to the ropes. The clock shows 1:52 to the end of the round, but in the mere space of a kick (and a camera cut) it jumped to 1:48. (01:26:35)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)

17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
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)
