Wasabi picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Hubert punches the transvestite in the bar and she flies backwards, you can see the wires pulling her. It's hard to see but if you look at the black man in a white t-shirt and black trousers, when looking closer at the trousers you should be able to see the wire moving. (00:02:15)

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion picture

Plot hole: At the end of the film the boss says that he and Miss Fitzgerald are going to go on holiday together to Paris (talking about the actual city, not the secret code they have invented). However, the film is set in 1940 and Paris would have been an unusual place to take a holiday at this time, considering France was in the middle of a war... Pretty dangerous for civilians even though America was still neutral at the time.

Other mistake: When Orlando is driving the car (I believe the old beat up car) the gear shift is all the way up in the park position, yet the car is moving.

More Double Take mistakes

Revealing mistake: When Kirsty breaks them out of the police jail with the van she stole, you can see the fake wall created, as it built out of line with the real wall.

Factual error: Whenever they open the trunk of the Eldorado, it acts and sounds like there is a push button. In fact you have to use a key to unlock and open the trunk.

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no tibira picture

Continuity mistake: In Session 24, Faye gets into her aircraft and Ed all of a sudden looks down at Faye, from on top of the roof, and starts talking to her. Look at the back of Ed's shirt, it falls up and goes past her neck and rests at her head, when the camera cuts to a front view, the shirt is above the shoulder line. (00:14:20)

Birthday Girl picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the film when John and Nadia are eating supper together, Nadia gives John a ring and speaks in Russian. The camera is at her back so we can't see her mouth move, but it is definately not Nicole Kidman's voice.

Other mistake: When Spike is strolling through the city, at some point he walks by one of those posts pointing to various directions. One of the signs is written in cyrillic characters and, below, we can read the "English" translation: Ruccian Town.
