Dragonball Evolution
Dragonball Evolution mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the sparring between Goku and his Grandpa, the clotheslines project clear shadows on the ground. During several shots during the silly fight (several from above when they flip around, or for instance the wide shot that follows the bug-eating bit) there's a total lack of shadows. (00:02:30 - 00:03:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Goku finds his Grandpa covered in rubble, he removes a wood plank; Gohan's hand is on top of the wood at first, then more logically it is under it. Also, when Goku brings him to the dry landscape, he's clean from the dust. (00:20:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After battling it out a bit, Goku asks Bulma "What happened to your dragonball?" The characters stand still but the shadows have dramatically moved; Bulma's face is fully lit and Goku 's shadow has moved. (00:24:55)

Continuity mistake: During the Mai vs Chi Chi fight at the Toisan tournament, many different takes have been edited together, since the referees appear in semi-random positions on either side of the fighters. (00:49:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Mai walks into the ruined village. She points a gun at a harmless basket, weapon in her left hand. Change of angle, and she is now pointing the gun with her right arm before walking away. (00:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Mai puts the blood sample in the vial holding the blade with the thumbpad underneath the metal in the closeup, on the external part in the shots before and after. (00:49:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After he's been shot, Goku is lying on the ground with his eyes closed; they are open during the rest of the scene once the shot with Muten saying "He's alive" ends. (01:00:00)

Continuity mistake: When the fake Chi Chi points the gun at Goku, her hair suddenly is all the way in front of her arm/shoulder, in a noticeable difference with the previous take. (00:59:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Goku kneels by the grave of his Grandpa. His hand is on a stone, showing a white stripe between thumb and index. In the close-up, the stone is turned differently. (00:22:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of her DBE in front of Roshi's house, Bulma is holding the device with both hands. She is browsing it with just the left hand in the wider shot. (00:28:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Goku asks Bulma "Did you kill my grandfather?" he's close enough to the doorframe to leave a shadow on it with his fist, unlike the previous shot. (00:23:46)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Master Muten Roshi sends Goku flying onto a table, breaking some white china. In the shot when Goku actually stands up, the shards are totally gone. (00:29:50)

Continuity mistake: Chi Chi turns around after being hit by the guy she's practicing with; her ponytail flips side in the reverse shot. (00:36:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Mai takes the dragonball from the long-haired woman of the mid-aftercredits (Seki); when she comes out of the manhole, the leather pouch doesn't have its string hanging loose from the left, but it does when Mai comes closer. (00:09:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Goku slides on the ground and gets a faceful of a mushy watermelon. When he stands, his shirt is dirty and with pulp all over, but his cheek and hair are clean and dry. (00:03:40)

Continuity mistake: When Bulma and Goku have just finished fighting and begun talking; watch Bulmas' blue streak of hair. It's on the left side of her head throughout the conversation until goku says "you might need back up." The camera shows a close up of them shaking hands, and when it cuts back to Bulma, the blue streak is on the right side of her face. There is no indication of her moving it, and there's not enough wind to blow it to the other side. (00:26:25)

Trivia: The house used in the film as the one where the master lives, is the house in the news called the "nail house," where the owners refused an order to move because of construction. In the southwestern Chinese municipality of Chongqing, the modest two-story brick structure - a dot on the decimated landscape - is called the "nail house" because it seems to be nailed to the ground by its owners' stubbornness.
