Continuity mistake: Ben is happy because he made the team. He sees Stephanie on the sidewalk, reading. He approaches her; she says "Oh hey, Ben!" closing the book twice and in different ways. (00:13:55)

Continuity mistake: When Christie kicks a cop head-first into a gravestone shattering it (the gravestone, not the head, although one wonders how just the latter could happen), the stone breaks in two completely different ways in separate shots. (01:06:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the ninja parries the baton strike from the guy making all the swooshing noise, her right side of the body (and her arm, specifically) are already prepared to hit the second guy while the left hand brings down the baton. The next shot though opens with her right arm low and her left arm high over her head. (01:06:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the patrol car chases the ninja at the funeral shooting at her with a shotgun, there's a POV shot from the driver, who has his right hand at 12 o'clock on the wheel. Reverse angle and the hand is gone. It happens again moments later when the driver stops the car, and at the cut it switches from 10 to 2 o'clock with opposite hands. (01:05:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the funeral, Ninja Christie shoots one arrow, then a second. The officer dies holding one hand to his chest in the shot, both in the next. (01:05:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Yamada stops the hearse, the shadow of the vehicle doubles in size between shots. (00:57:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Yamada knocks out the group of three guards he failed to sneak past at the morgue, the guard to the left goes down dropping the nightstick at distance and at a certain angle. Yamada walks past them and the baton is closer and at a different angle. (00:55:55)

Continuity mistake: When the priest tries to read from a scroll and gets laughed off by the ninja demon, he is holding the scroll in a different way between shots - just use the little string as reference. (00:51:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Billy pays the wise man from the Orient, the wad of bills does a 180° between shots. (00:47:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Christie is making out with the sleazy cop. We get a close-up of the poisoned ring and how she turned it, and she is ready to strike. She has both arms over his shoulders, both for the close-up of the fatal gesture, the arm is out of the way. (00:44:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the spa, Christie opens her robe. The darker haired lady-friend of the sleazy cop turns towards her noticing what she'd doing, but the following reaction shot begins with her still engaged in conversation; she notices the competition only a moment later. (00:43:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the spa, notice how Christie lets nonchalantly go the towels she used as an excuse to get in the room with the ladies and the sleazy cop Jimenez. She does the deed killing everyone, then as she walks away look at the towels and their much neater placement on the bench. (00:43:05 - 00:44:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the policeman throws the billiard balls at Ninja Christie, the balls have a different position on the table depending on the camera angle and the pool cue appears and disappears from the table. (00:38:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Christie takes a breather after she called Billy. The position of her hand on the receiver - her pinky and ring fingers are at a very peculiar angle that she can't easily change - are suddenly different at the cut. (00:33:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The male protagonist acts sassy about the Christine not liking cops and pulls over. His hand in the next shot is on top of the steering wheel, and in the first one it wasn't. (00:25:41)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Christie's friend checks out the katana, she is suddenly leaning with her right arm against the railing at the cut. (00:20:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The first time we meet Christie, she is climbing a telephone pole for her job. She secures the position, and we get close-ups of the actress. She then begins her work using the box that appeared in front of her during those close-ups, because there was no such box in the first view of the pole. (00:13:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The Black Ninja throws the smoke bomb and vanishes. The cops witness the scene in disbelief. The fat and balding one, called Case, removes his glasses and hat with a single movement. He's still wearing them in the wider angle, though. (00:12:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja in Green seemingly dies (first time of many), the extras are in wildly different positions between shots. Just as an example, in the second shot there's suddenly one dude on one knee on the hood of the car that wasn't there before. (00:11:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After chilling in the pond a while, the ninja resumes killing cops left and right. He does not hit one with his katana (but he dies anyway), then he turns around to throw a shuriken at another; this new guy before the camera cuts away is simply raising his empty hands to die, but in close-up he's being more menacing, since he's aiming the gun. (00:10:25)
