Continuity mistake: During the stunt where the motorcycle goes down the flight of stairs, the actors are replaced by stuntmen - and the one replacing Biff Manard wears the jacket buttoned up all the way, as opposed to the actor. (01:02:10)

Continuity mistake: Jack has just learned about Whistler's evil plan from the TV. He tosses a sleepy Leena her kimono; she is touching her hair with her hand, but in close-up she gets a faceful of silk with no hand. (00:47:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the cops catch up with Jack and Leena in the parking lot of the Caheunga Boulevard salon, the first cop says "Freeze." Jack raises his hands, which are in front of Leena. Reverse angle, and he's touching Lena's back. (00:31:20)

Continuity mistake: When Helen Hunt recovers from the "long second" and asks "Why aren't we dead?" her hair changes position on the lapels of the denim jacket between shots. (00:33:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Leena walks away from Jack (who just 'guessed' her name) saying "Thank God", her hair is a mess under the hat. It's more neat when the camera angle changes. (00:21:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When "Highball" scores a strike against the hobo, there is a reaction shot on the 4 homeless guys to the right. The one closest to the camera (rightmost one) is watching with his right hand on his knee, but his hand is on the hat he's wearing in the next shot. (00:58:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Leena somehow buys Deth's story, and he tells her eventually "So you'll help me." The steering wheel rotates significantly between shots. Same after a brief cut to Whistler when they pull over in front of the "Tropical Tube Tan"; suddenly Deth's left hand on top of the wheel becomes the right hand. (00:26:35 - 00:27:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jack (p) reincarnated in his ancestor is talking to the booty call in the Santa suit. He mechanically repeats "Lost souls, yeah..." as he throws the tie over his shirt. He turns around, and in the next shot the tie conveniently adjusted itself going under the collar. (00:18:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Jack receives the baseball card from the Consul, he's holding the other photo from the top, which becomes the bottom in close-up. (00:15:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The old lady grabs a knife and throws it at Jack Deth. In the wide angle he lets go of the stove, but in the next shot he's still clinging to it with his left hand. (00:05:05)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When Jack punches the old lady, he swings way off target, and also 'she' (the stuntwoman, really) turns towards the counter and uses her arms to push herself to the other side. (00:04:45)
