Balthazar Blake: You're a bad liar, Dave. That's good.

In the scene when Balthazar and Dave are in Chinatown looking for the Grimhold, Balthazar enters a building to talk to its current owner and encounters Horvath. As Horvath is telling Balthazar that he has released the Chinese sorcerer Sun-lok from the Grimhold, we see him standing behind Balthazar, preparing to attack him with hundreds of accupuncture needles. We see all of the needles float up and out of a doll-like figure on a table as well as some other places. Immediately after the attack, Balthazar runs across the room to the window and the doll is visible with all of the needles back in place. See more...

As the film progresses, Dave's age changes from 18 to 19 to 20 when mentioned in bits of dialogue. [His age wasn't actually stated as each of those numbers, such as in the bathroom scene with Drake, Drake estimates his age as 20, and Dave doesn't confirm nor deny it.]

In the scene where Dave invites Becky into his metal cage to show her the magic of his Tesla coils, he closes the gate, turns on the music, and hits the go button for the big lightening show. However, the cage they are in is called a Faraday Cage, and it is meant to cancel out or ground out all incoming electro-magnetic energy. There is no way the radio could have been picking up a radio signal inside the Faraday Cage, much less while the Tesla coils were spouting energy around the room. Unless it is on battery power and a CD, of course, but I remember him tuning it into a station. Wikipedia and many other sources will confirm this Faraday Cage. [The MIDI file controlling the Tesla coils was being played off of his laptop. There was no radio involved, and it would have required a very sophisticated program to convert any radio signal into a MIDI signal in the first place. In other words, this is not a mistake as the laptop is not receiving a signal from outside the Faraday cage.]

The scene at the end of the movie, where Balthazar and Horvath are facing off in Dave's Tesla coil laboratory, has Horvath throwing Balthazar across the room. Balthazar smashes against a large coiled copper contraption, and Horvath makes it curl the pipes around Balthazar's hands so he cannot escape. Balthazar keeps the bad guy talking and freezes the metal tubing, eventually breaking it and getting free. However, this tube is copper tubing. It is commonly used in labs when working with liquid nitrogen. Liquid N2 is at -200 or so degrees Centigrade (-346 F). If that touched his hand for a moment, it would have caused personal damage. Not to mention, copper tube doesn't break at that temperature, not with bare human hands trying to break it. [He's a magician. If he can defy the laws of physics by magically freezing something down to a point when it's capable of shattering, he can protect his hands while he's doing it. It's magic - factual errors don't really apply.]

When Dave is running down the hall and Horvath is preparing to unleash the wolves (pictured on a calender in Dave's apartment), Dave stops, as if he is hearing the wolves and/or has first seen them. But, Horvath hasn't made them appear yet. [Dave stops on the stairs and turns because he hears the zapping sounds as Horvath makes the wolves come to life.]
