Mistakes

In the penal scene with the pyramid, Yulaw knocks a person off the pyramid, and he rolls down the steps. A short way down, he stops rolling, and you can see him push himself off another step to get himself rolling again. See more...

Trivia

In the gunfire scene at the prison, at the beginning of the movie, when the sergeant yells to two of his men "Woo, Scott, follow me," it is a clear joke from director James Wong to fellow moviemakers John Woo and Ridley Scott. See more...

When Yulaw kills Lawless, and he comes out of the ventilation shaft, he picks up the cop he shoots to use him as a human shield; you can see the bullets hitting the cop's body but if you look closely at the empty space around the cop, the bullets seem to be hitting something that is not there. [When you look closely, you can see bullet holes appear on the door and wall behind Li.]

In the king of the hill scene (the fight on top of the pyramid on the penal colony universe), one large guy can be seen waiting to get thrown off the mountain by the evil Jet Li. He has to wait for Jet to do his moves on the other 2 guys first. Then he moves toward Jet and is thrown off the pyramid. [Like most martial arts movies, the bad guys rarely gang up on the main characters. I've never undersdtood it myself, but a friend who does practice karate told me that if there are too many people attacking they just get in each other's way.]
Edit
When the redhead helps the evil Jet Li escape from prison he uses a strap to wrap around a guard's wrist to get a gun. He swings the guard around and shoots him and you see the guard falling on his back. When Jet walks by him in the very next scene, the guard is now on his stomach and facing the opposite way. [You can clearly see him falling face down after being shot. The guys that's facinc the opposite way was the guy standing against the wall behind the falling guy.]

The concept is to make sure there is never just one Jet Li. Why then did they send the evil Jet Li to the Hades universe at the end of the movie, where he might be in danger of getting killed when he arrived? Sure, he's powerful, but he's outnumbered. Ideally, they should have held him in solitary confinement, or at least sent guards with him to prevent him from being killed on arrival. [The concept is not just to make sure that there is one Jet Li - it is to make sure that one 'version' of Jet Li does not kill the other incarnations. One 'version' has to kill another 'version' in order to gain their powers, otherwise a 100 year old granny would become The One - as all the other 'versions' of herself would have died already.]
Edit
In the very first chase scene, the evil Jet Li jumps off a car and grabs a traffic light. As he is on the light you see 5-6 cop car crashes which total 10-12 cars needed for the crashes, but when he jumps down there are only 3 cop cars around him. [This scene consists of several (many many many) angles of the same three SUVs crashing into one another over and over. The scene was shot twice each with 3-4 different angles each, so you can notice some crashes that produced no visible damage in the next angle.]
Edit
When Gabe is getting the MRI, his wife walks downstairs to talk to his partners. As she's walking towards them you only see 2 of them and when they see her they walk to meet her but when she starts talking to them face to face a 3rd one has magically appeared in the middle of the other 2. [The guys that carla approaches in the hospital scene, are all in the same close area. One is talking to a nurse, one is looking at a wall and one is sitting. As she gets close, they stop what they're doing and meet her. All three guys can be seen coming over.]
Edit
According to what the judge says when he is convicting the bad Jet Li, there are 125 universes (123 victims, plus the good and bad Jet Li), but the multi verse police guy later on says "Every time a major star dies and becomes a black hole, a new universe is created", but there are millions of black holes in the universe, and so there must be millions of Jet Li's for the bad Jet Li to kill. [They state in the films that there are universes in which Jet Li is already dead and ones in which he never existed. The judge never implies that there are 125 universes, just that evil Jet Li has killed 123 versions of himself and that good Jet Li is his only remaining target.]
Edit
When Jet Li is running from the cops and he jumps from one bridge to the other you can blatantly see the wires attached to Jet Li when he is landing on the far bridge. [The wire you see in this scene is actually a car antenna from the red car that almost hits him, as the car comes to a stop, you can see it wobble back and forth.]
Edit
It is explained that it is impossible for one to escape from the Hades Universe. So it would be impossible for Yulaw to have killed himself in that universe and made it back to the Multiverse Policing Headquarters to assassinate his last victim. [It was meant that an inmate couldn't escape from the Hades Universe, there are means for authorites (such as Yulaw) to get in and out.]
Edit
MVA Agent Evan Funsch finds out that his partner has been killed - he follows Gabe down a hallway and aims his gun at his back. You can see the blue dot from the laser on the gun on Gabe's back but when he turns to face the MVA agent, the dot doesn't show up anywhere on Gabe even though the agent is still aiming his gun at him. [As shown in previous scenes (for example in the hospital scene, where Yulaw tries to kill Gabe) the blue (or red) laser dissapears after it has been locked onto a target.]
Edit
In the hospital scene where the good Jet Li is (almost) getting caught by his fellow officers, the officer with the shotgun loads it then tries to subdue Jet Li. Being a police officer, he should know that if he loads the shotgun, it has the potential to harm or fatally wound innocent people. [Perhaps it was loaded with a rubber slug?]
Edit
The mistake is that all of a sudden it switches from darkness to daylight, very quickly. This is at the scene where the wife is being escorted into her house. It is dark outside and they police pull up to her house. Then when she is in her room and she opens the shades, it is blindingly light outside... [When the police were dropping T.K. off at the house, it was almost dawn, you could tell, so that's why it's so light outside in the next few scenes.]
Edit
I must credit the film critic Roger Ebert with this point - if the basic principle is that there's a finite amount of energy per person in the multiverse, so killing off your other versions means you get a bigger share of the total life force (or whatever), why is it that there aren't lots of immensely powerful old people in the world? As their other selves die off, surely they'd gain their life force and become much stronger and more able-bodied? [The most likely explanation is that each person has a set lifeline - when they die through natural causes this lifeline expires, so there's no extra energy to go around. By contrast, when it's ended unnaturally, the remaining energy is divided. Unnatural deaths are the exception, rather than the norm, so any occasional deaths wouldn't be felt by the other versions].
Edit
When the guy picks up 2 motorcycles and smashes the police officer in between them, look at the officer's face when he is on the ground, there is blood coming out of his mouth. One problem, the motorcycles didn't come close to his mouth so why is blood coming out of it? [It would be very surprising if a person who has just been smashed between 2 motorcycles was not spitting blood due to internal injuries.]
