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)

Continuity mistake: When the inmates are cornering the assistant warden, he begins to walk down the stairs in a wide shot, with his left arm lowered. In the next shot, he is suddenly waving his left arm in the air. (01:20:10)

Casual Person

Other mistake: Just after the assistant warden's right arm has been chopped off by an inmate, part of his shirt sleeve goes missing. The part of his arm still attached to his body has a sleeve starting at his shoulder, and stopping an inch above where his arm stump ends, leaving an inch of skin exposed. And when the chopped off arm is shown, the arm is shown to have a sleeve starting at his elbow, going down to his wrist, but there are a few inches of his upper arm above his elbow left exposed. This means that a couple inches of his sleeve from where part of his upper arm was located, have gone missing without explanation. (01:20:25)

Continuity mistake: When the armoured guards appear, a guard holding a mace attempts to swing it at Ricky whilst he jumps from a staircase. In the shot of Ricky jumping down from the staircase, he is holding his shield so that it is positioned away from him, but in the next shot, the guard suddenly has his protective shield directly in front of him.

Revealing mistake: Just after Ricky has killed the bald inmate, he then goes to punch the assistant warden in his face, resulting in his one real eye falling out. In the close-up shot of the assistant warden getting punched, a fake prop dummy can be seen instead of the real assistant warden, most likely used so that it would be easier to create the practical effect of his eye falling out. (01:19:22)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the assistant warden falls down the stairs whilst being confronted by the inmates, in one shot his body is rotated towards the left and is face to face with some inmates nearest to the staircase. When the camera changes angles, his body is more rotated to the right and is now directly facing the staircase bannister to be face to face with more of the inmates. (01:20:16)

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: When the assistant warden and the bald inmate walk into Ricky's cell after not seeing him inside, Ricky reveals himself, grabs onto the bald inmate and punches part of his head off his body, killing him. In the shot where Ricky punches the inmate in the side of the head, we can see that the actor has been replaced with a dummy. (01:19:17)
