Audio problem: At one point in the film the television in Dre's apartment shows a screening of the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Mermaidman & Barnacleboy III", but the Japanese dub is actually from the episode "Sailormouth" (notable by the dolphin sound effects).

Audio problem: When Dre is leaving Meiying's violin practice in the auditorium there is a long shot of her playing her violin showing her left side as Dre walks to the exit. The notes she is playing are vibrato - varying the pitch of the notes by rapidly pivoting the finger on the strings - but her hand is perfectly still. Even though you can only see part of her hand it is obviously that her playing style doesn't match the notes being played.

Continuity: In the end when Dre is finishing Cheng, you see that Cheng switches positions - from being close to Dre, he is a little bit farther away.(Just to avoid getting hit for real).

Factual error: At the end of the first semifinal, as Cheng's gang gather to congratulate him, the events are being recorded for posterity by a photographer standing about 6 feet away, who, unfortunately is using at least a 200mm lens. I'm not sure he could even get Cheng's left eye into focus.

Continuity: Dre visits Han when he is smashing his car, and Han sits in the driver's seat; Dre sees the paper clip on the hood - the paper moves several times during the shots. From having a quite amount of glass on it, to no glass, to a little glass. And it switches positions three times.

Continuity: When Dre pokes his head through the bars to see the lady with the cobra, you can one of the bars is bent enough for him to do so. Now when they switch to the interior scene he's looking at her from the inside but the bars are straight.

Continuity: In the scene where Master Li looks at his students bowing to Mr. Han, he is standing up in the crowd and a few moments later he is on the floor behind Mr. Han and Dre when they do their fist bump. In the alternate ending he was on the floor because he was beaten by Mr. Han in a battle, but in the original scene he just randomly appears on the ground.
