Plot hole: After Shifu is told that Tai Lung is going to escape, he immediately sends a messenger to the prison with orders about doubling the guards. The messenger takes off immediately, leaving Shifu behind, where he is told by his master that a new dragon warrior is going to be appointed. When this urgent messenger arrives at the prison, the guard tells Tai Lung that a new dragon warrior is going to be appointed. But due to the fact that the messenger left before this was decided and that the prison is very remote, it seems unlikely that he should know something like that.

Quotes
Oogway: You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There's a saying: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
Trivia
While most of the characters have names in English (Monkey, Viper, Tigress etc), several characters' names have their origin in Mandarin: Master Oogway's (wu gui) name means "tortoise" in Mandarin, while "Shifu" (shi fu) means "master", most commonly in martial arts or medicine. See more...
