Continuity mistake: In the first movie, when Dylan and Alma first meet up with Thaddeus Bradley for lunch, he mentions that Lionel Shrike was a magician in the 1970s and one year later, attempted the safe in the river trick that killed him, but in the opening scene of this movie, it is shown that the safe in the river trick that killed Lionel Shrike took place in 1984. (00:00:35)
