Panther

Continuity mistake: The flames on the truck change often, from the back they are just around the base of the tank. But many times from the front, you can see them billowing out the back using an obvious special effect.

Continuity mistake: When the gasoline truck makes a hard right turn and leaves the market you can see that is a stunt driver steering the truck. Not the same old man as it used to be. (01:13:41)

Sol Parker

Continuity mistake: We see Jackie eating when we first meet him (where he works). He senses a client, tells the girl to throw him his jacket so he can put it on. When he puts it on, you can see the food go through the sleeve with his arm and appear out the other side, however in the next shot, it has vanished.

Continuity mistake: When the gasoline truck enters the market it breakes its window but when they leave the market it's back to normal. (01:13:30)

Panther

Continuity mistake: When the gasoline truck falls from the bridge, Jackie jumps from the same bridge. During Jackie's fall the truck is already visible on the ground, but a shot later the truck is still falling from the bridge. (01:39:33 - 02:39:35)

Continuity mistake: The gasoline truck falls from the bridge onto the road, but a shot later the truck explodes on the sandbank next to the road. (01:39:33 - 02:39:35)

Factual error: When there's a fight on the cabriolet between Jackie and one of the two bandits - when the car smashes into the fuel truck, the fighting bandit somehow flies backwards where according to the laws of inertia he should have flown forwards.

Trivia: On the front cover of the UK DVD, Jackie appears posed with three other characters (one male, two female). Strangely, none of these other people are actually in the movie.
