Character mistake: When Randy is introduced for his semi-final match, he comes out to "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard. The announcer says the song is by the "supergroup" Def Leppard. A supergroup is comprised of band members who were previously successful solo artists or band members prior to joining this band. Def Leppard is an original band. None of the band members were famous or successful prior to this band. (00:03:00)

Suggested correction: At best, this is trivia. Perhaps if the announcer was in the music business and knew the music jargon, it could be seen as a character mistake. I myself never knew "supergroup" had a specific meaning until you mentioned it. To me, it sounded like he just thought Def Leppard was super. Like calling them a totally radical group, despite no members being radicals - someone who wants complete political or social reform.

Balls of Fury (2007)
Corrected entry: When Feng is killed, he is electrocuted by the vest, which is set to full power, before falling into the water, causing it to short out and completely fry him. (You can tell because the gauge on his chest is at the highest level.) However, earlier in the film, he explains that it requires three misses to get the full lethal jolt from the vest, yet this is only his first miss.
Correction: Given that Feng changed the rules to allow the ball to bounce anywhere - it's very possible that the rules for the suit were changed as well even if he didn't mention it.
Why would he change his suit to kill him on 1 miss and let Randy survive 3 misses, that's not what happened at all.
Correction: I didn't see his power gauge at full level. You see it at green (the way it starts) and only 1 red bar is added, which signifies 1 miss.
