Continuity mistake: When Ricky is trying to force the warden's body into the meat grinder, as Ricky begins pushing his head down, the warden is positioned directly in front of Ricky. When the camera changes angles, the warden has suddenly rotated by 90°. The camera changes angles again and the warden is suddenly facing Ricky directly, then in the next shot, the warden has suddenly rotated 90° again. (01:28:53)

Continuity mistake: When the warden is kicked across the kitchen by Ricky, in the shot where he lands on a sink, there are two circular smudge marks on the wall beside him. It then cuts to a closer shot of the warden and the two smudge marks have gone. (01:26:31)

Revealing mistake: Just after the warden throws Ricky to the ground, when he finishes saying "Your strength doesn't even come close to mine", he starts doing an evil laugh and here, we can see the actor's real tongue and teeth behind the fake prosthetic suit that he is wearing. (01:28:02)

Continuity mistake: When Ricky is sitting on the ground after being thrown to the ground by the warden, whilst the warden is telling him they've got the same kung fu style, Ricky has both his arms placed firmly on the ground. The camera changes angles and suddenly, his left arm is raised off the ground. (01:28:05)

Revealing mistake: When Ricky jumps over the table after the warden pushes it at him, there is a shot of Ricky kicking the warden with his foot whilst in mid-air. In this shot, we can see that Ricky's trousers are being pulled upwards, revealing that there is a wire attached to his trousers that is pulling him into the air. (01:26:30)

Continuity mistake: When the warden is kicked across the kitchen by Ricky, he lands on a sink. On the floor beneath the kitchen sink, a couple of tiles that were stuck to the wall fall off it. We are then shown a closer shot of the same area, where the tiles that just fell off the wall are now back on the wall, and two entirely different tiles have now fallen off. (01:26:31)

Revealing mistake: When White God fires a needle through the wall of the kitchen, Ricky grabs onto it and is dragged towards the kitchen wall. Just before he crashes into the kitchen wall, a large outline can be seen in the wall, revealing where the effects team made a hole in the wall and plastered over it before filming. (01:23:38)

Continuity mistake: The warden attempts to trap Ricky by pushing a table at him. On the table there is a tray filled with meat from when the warden forced an inmate's arm into a meat grinder earlier in the scene. In the shot where he first pushes the table, the meat in the tray is towards the right hand corner of the tray. Ricky then jumps over the table and the meat is now towards the left hand side. (01:26:27)

Continuity mistake: When the warden is preparing to fight Ricky, he takes his belt off and drops it on the tray of meat on the table in front of him. The warden then pushes the table towards Ricky and the belt is now positioned to be beside the meat tray. Ricky then kicks the warden across the room and the belt is now suddenly nearer to the other end of the table. (01:26:28)

Continuity mistake: Just after the warden has one of the guard take his son away, he and Ricky prepare to fight. At this point, Ricky has no blood shown around his mouth. But later in the scene, when the warden becomes muscular, there is suddenly some blood around his mouth that wasn't there earlier. (01:26:20 - 01:27:14)

Other mistake: Just after the assistant warden has been carried away by the other inmate, it cuts to the warden in the kitchen with his son and a guard. When the guard tells him the menu for tomorrow is ready, the subtitles "Sir, the prisoner's menu for tomorrow is ready." The apostrophe in "prisoner's" is shown in the wrong place. Saying "prisoner's" implies that it's just for one prisoner, and since the menu is made for all of the prisoners, the subtitles should have read "the prisoners' menu" and not "the prisoner's menu." The guard even says "They'll have some beans, vegetables and meat for lunch" afterwards, so multiple people were being referred to. (This depends on which format and which studio distribution you are watching, but it can definitely be seen on the Region B Blu-Ray distributed by MediumRare). (01:21:15)

Continuity mistake: When the warden begins forcing the inmate's hand into the meat grinder, in the first shot, we can see that his body is placed over a cloth, placed over the side. When the shot cuts, the cloth has suddenly moved much further to the right and away from the man. (01:22:03)

Continuity mistake: Just after the warden has chopped off the inmate's hand by forcing it into the meat grinder, the inmate falls over and some of the blood coming out of his arm splatters on the wall beside him. Two other inmates walk up to him to help him up, and now there is suddenly much more blood on the wall. The blood also changes appearance, being splattered on the wall in one shot, then being smeared on the wall in the next shot. (01:22:16)

Revealing mistake: When the warden has finished shoving the inmate's arm into the meat grinder, there is a shot of the warden pulling the inmate away from the grinder and showing him the tray of meat made from his arm. In the shot, we can see that the inmate's face has been covered in white powder to make him appear as if his face has gone pale due to the blood loss, but it makes his face look completely unnatural, and not at all how a human face would ever appear in a situation like that.

Continuity mistake: When the assistant warden starts searching Ricky's cell, he opens the two doors to the toilet stall to see if he is in there. Whilst Ricky jumps down from the ceiling, the assistant warden has the left door on the toilet stall held open and the right door on the toilet stall closed. When he notices Ricky in the next shot, the left door on the toilet stall is now closed and the right door on the toilet stall is now wide open. (01:19:09)

Revealing mistake: Just after Ricky has killed the bald inmate, he then goes to punch the assistant warden in his face, resulting in his one real eye falling out. In the close-up shot of the assistant warden getting punched, a fake prop dummy can be seen instead of the real assistant warden, most likely used so that it would be easier to create the practical effect of his eye falling out.

Revealing mistake: When one of the inmates goes to cut off the assistant warden's right arm with an axe, the moment before his arm gets chopped off, we can see that it has been replaced with a fake dummy arm. (01:20:24)

Continuity mistake: When the inmates are cornering the assistant warden, he begins to walk down the stairs in a wide shot, with his left arm lowered. In the next shot, he is suddenly waving his left arm in the air. (01:20:10)
