Revealing mistake: When Ricky throws the warden into the meat grinder, in the shot where the warden is being thrown across the kitchen, a wire can be seen attached to him, hoisting him across the room. (01:28:37)

Other mistake: Just after the warden tells Ricky they are trained in the same kung fu style, Ricky thinks to himself for a moment. The subtitles read 'If your opponent is strong, use your wits to beat him', but before the start of the line, before the word "If", a randomly placed comma can be seen at the start of the line. There is no reason for this comma to be here since there are no words shown before it. Clearly this was an unintentional error made when the subtitles were being typed out. (This depends on which format and which studio distribution you are watching, but it can definitely be seen on the Region B Blu-Ray distributed by MediumRare). (01:28:10)

Continuity mistake: When Ricky is sitting on the ground after being thrown to the ground by the warden, whilst the warden is telling him they've got the same kung fu style, Ricky has both his arms placed firmly on the ground. The camera changes angles and suddenly, his left arm is raised off the ground. (01:28:05)

Revealing mistake: Just after the warden throws Ricky to the ground, when he finishes saying "Your strength doesn't even come close to mine", he starts doing an evil laugh and here, we can see the actor's real tongue and teeth behind the fake prosthetic suit that he is wearing. (01:28:02)

Continuity mistake: In the final fight scene, there is a moment where Ricky punches straight through the warden's stomach and punches out through the other side. The shot then cuts to the warden for a second, but when the shot cuts again, Ricky's arm has suddenly been completely removed from the warden's stomach. No way could Ricky have removed his entire arm from the warden's stomach that quickly. (01:27:33)

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: When Ricky attempts to fight the muscular warden, he punches the warden in the stomach and the warden then punches him into a support column. Just before Ricky crashes into the column, a wire can be seen attached to him, pulling him backwards towards the column. (01:27:20)

Continuity mistake: Just after the warden has one of the guard take his son away, he and Ricky prepare to fight. At this point, Ricky has no blood shown around his mouth. But later in the scene, when the warden becomes muscular, there is suddenly some blood around his mouth that wasn't there earlier. (01:26:20 - 01:27:14)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the warden begins changing into a more muscular version of himself, in one shot, he is shown with his head pointed downwards and with his eyes closed, but in the next shot, he is suddenly standing upright, with his eyes open. (01:26:37)

Continuity mistake: When the warden is kicked across the kitchen by Ricky, in the shot where he lands on a sink, there are two circular smudge marks on the wall beside him. It then cuts to a closer shot of the warden and the two smudge marks have gone. (01:26:31)

Continuity mistake: When the warden is preparing to fight Ricky, he takes his belt off and drops it on the tray of meat on the table in front of him. The warden then pushes the table towards Ricky and the belt is now positioned to be beside the meat tray. Ricky then kicks the warden across the room and the belt is now suddenly nearer to the other end of the table. (01:26:28)

Revealing mistake: When the warden shoots White God, the close-up shot of his face before he explodes reveals that the actor has been replaced with a dummy. (01:25:55)

Casual Person

Other mistake: Wong Chun attempts to kick Ricky whilst flying through the air, but Ricky grabs onto his and throws his leg into the hydrogen tank. The rest of Wong Chun's body then falls to the ground, but the leg is still shown in the exact same elevated position despite the rest of his body being lowered. (01:25:32)

Revealing mistake: When Ricky punches the prison wall, the wall can be seen beginning to break apart a second before Ricky's fist hits it. (01:29:59)

Continuity mistake: Just after the warden has chopped off the inmate's hand by forcing it into the meat grinder, the inmate falls over and some of the blood coming out of his arm splatters on the wall beside him. Two other inmates walk up to him to help him up, and now there is suddenly much more blood on the wall. The blood also changes appearance, being splattered on the wall in one shot, then being smeared on the wall in the next shot. (01:22:16)

Revealing mistake: When White God fires a needle through the wall of the kitchen, Ricky grabs onto it and is dragged towards the kitchen wall. Just before he crashes into the kitchen wall, a large outline can be seen in the wall, revealing where the effects team made a hole in the wall and plastered over it before filming. (01:23:38)

Continuity mistake: When the assistant warden begins to inflate after getting shot by the warden, Ricky and a group of other inmates begin to back away from him and are shown standing in the background. But in the shot of the assistant warden exploding, Ricky and the other inmates have suddenly disappeared. (01:23:15)

Continuity mistake: When the warden begins forcing the inmate's hand into the meat grinder, in the first shot, we can see that his body is placed over a cloth, placed over the side. When the shot cuts, the cloth has suddenly moved much further to the right and away from the man. (01:22:03)

Other mistake: Just after the warden tells the guard to limit the amount of food the inmates get in their meals, one of the inmates shown polishing the meat grinder says "You eat like a lousy king. Even your dog gets a big steak." When he says "your dog", the subtitles read "yourdog" instead of "your dog." It has been incorrectly spelt as one word, with no space shown in between the two words. (This depends on which format and which studio distribution you are watching, but it can definitely be seen on the Region B Blu-Ray distributed by MediumRare). (01:21:53)

Other mistake: Just after the assistant warden has been carried away by the other inmate, it cuts to the warden in the kitchen with his son and a guard. When the guard tells him the menu for tomorrow is ready, the subtitles "Sir, the prisoner's menu for tomorrow is ready." The apostrophe in "prisoner's" is shown in the wrong place. Saying "prisoner's" implies that it's just for one prisoner, and since the menu is made for all of the prisoners, the subtitles should have read "the prisoners' menu" and not "the prisoner's menu." The guard even says "They'll have some beans, vegetables and meat for lunch" afterwards, so multiple people were being referred to. (This depends on which format and which studio distribution you are watching, but it can definitely be seen on the Region B Blu-Ray distributed by MediumRare). (01:21:15)

Revealing mistake: When one of the inmates goes to cut off the assistant warden's right arm with an axe, the moment before his arm gets chopped off, we can see that it has been replaced with a fake dummy arm. (01:20:24)
