Here Come the Tigers picture

Character mistake: In the scene where the Panthers are being introduced, the announcer states that one boy is "Walter 'The Hook' Coster", and another is "Frank 'The Razor' Schmidt". But in another scene, when one of them is batting, he says Frank Coster. Although they look exactly the same, he accidentally mixed the two names together. There is no Frank Coster.

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow picture

Factual error: At the end of the fight between Pai Chang Tien (the Old Man) and Shu Chin (the fan-wielder), Pai catches his opponent with his pipe on the larynx and strangles him to death. In his death-throes Shu Chin groans until he dies; but with a piece of wood pressing down on his windpipe, he realistically wouldn't be able to make such a pronounced sound. (01:19:10)
