American Ninja

Continuity mistake: When Jackson's sitting on his motorcycle talking with Joe he points up with his right hand, which switches to being his left hand in the following shot. (00:34:00)

Continuity mistake: During the first 20 minutes of the movie, Patricia is wearing a pearl necklace. When she is shown sitting in the car, it is a double string of pearls. After she has crashed the car and climbs out, it is a single string of pearls. When she and Joe are running through the jungle, it is once again a double string, and when she returns home it is a single string again. This can not be explained by the necklace being a long string of pearls that's draped twice around her neck, as the necklace is always shown to reach just below her throat, and a longer string would reach further down.

Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie when the Army convoy gets attacked, the woman goes to escape in the green car. The back wheel has no hubcap, but when it cuts back to the car after it's been shot, a hubcap is now on the wheel.

Continuity mistake: After the heels get broken off Patricia's shoes by Joe during their escape from the ambush, the shoes in Patricia's hands when they come out of the water are entirely different flat shoes, with a flat sole and no angle that the original high heel stilettos had.
