Directed by: Robert Rodriguez
Starring: Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Rosa Salazar
Other mistake: When Alita jumps on the table after breaking Zapan's nose, her right leg (left side of the camera) is missing. In the next shot, it reappears where it should be. (01:01:11)
Suggested correction: I had a look in slow motion. The leg is always there, but it is sometimes hidden under Alita's coat.
Continuity mistake: During the game, Alita disposes of the black cyborg guy with the yellow paint, the same one she met at Kansas. She rips his arm off and uses it to spike the head of the colossal dude with the morning star-like weapon. You could see as the arm was being ripped, that debris and a big metallic piece of scrap were left behind. However, when the 2 next opponents are skating towards Alita making her take off fast, there is no such trace of debris beside the whole body of the guy. (01:33:00)
Trivia: James Cameron originally intended to direct the film, and began work on it way back in 1995. He kept pushing it back, as he felt the technology to make the film hadn't been perfected yet, and also because he became attached to several other projects in the meantime. Eventually, Cameron relinquished the director's seat to Robert Rodriguez and instead focused on writing and producing the film. The film was finally released in 2019... twenty-four years after Cameron started work on it.
