The Karate Kid III

Other mistake: When Miyagi throws Mike into the light switches, the lights go out but the switches never change position.

Trivia: When Daniel is persuading Myagi to use his college money to buy a store for selling Bonsai trees, he takes a wad of cash, smells it, and says, "Hmm. Looks like money.smells like money."
