Sammo

Other mistake: In a quite extraordinary time compression, Jason receives the form, barely scribbles something on the first line, and the 'sensei' arrives and asks him "Finished?" And he says yes, without having written basically anything and surely not signed. (00:26:30)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the world championship tournament shown on TV from the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno, the actual shots with the ring show a much smaller and poorly lit location that does not match the other footage. (00:24:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The movie is set in Seattle for the most part, however in the parking lot of the burger joint you can see plenty nice palm trees planted all around it, in particular when RJ tries to escape. (00:21:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Scott white-knights the poor RJ that is being cradled into oblivion by the bulky bully. He jumps over the railing and kicks Scott; obvious is the lack of continuity; the guy with the striped white and green shirt that had folded arms and now is just standing there with his arms low is very obvious, but Scott himself was holding RJ by the thigh and in the second shot, to facilitate the kick, he is holding it by the far end of the leg. (00:22:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: RJ tried to kick Scott away but only pushed himself off the table. Scott picks him up; the light of the two shots is blatantly different. (00:21:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Scott backs RJ against the railing in front of the burger joint, some fellow bullies in the background change position between shots (the dude with the little ponytail had his left arm raised in guard and it's down, the guy with the horizontal stripes is suddenly with folded arms). (00:21:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Scott begins scarfing the burgers; instantly he gets a bunch of mayo and ketchup on his thumb, but it's gone at the cut. (00:20:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When RJ skates by the construction site, the actual skater is quite obviously a taller stuntman in a wig. (00:17:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Scott gets RJ with the pressure washer, he wets the left side of his shirt - but in the hijinks by the road constructions, RJ sports a T-shirt wet on his right side. (00:16:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: RJ is skating away from an angry Scott he just bit. In the sequence with two construction workers and a ladder, the natural light changes completely between shots (no direct sunlight at the beginning, clear shadows and sunny area in the close-up of the board tricks). (00:16:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Scott hoses RJ with the window cleaning machine; in the first shot RJ is really close to the fence, but the skateboard slips on sidewalk that is somehow already wet. Then Scott sits on him and begins brutalizing him, with the cement around RJ's head that is wet or dry depending on the shot, and when he gets up it's like they never fought with any water involved, the sidewalk is all dry. (00:16:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The obese comic relief is mocking his dad's speech as he puts him to work washing windows. At the first cut when he approaches the window you can tell time (and takes) passed, because the wet area on the wall under the window changed size considerably. The wall even basically all dries up the moment Scott spots RJ. (00:16:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The protagonist is all hyped-up because of his planned cemeterial trip. He begins training in his garage; when he kicks both the punching bag and the speedball, or at least attempts to, the mats on the floor change position between shots. (00:15:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When RJ falls off the shelves that Jason hastily put back in place earlier, the kid is climbing on different set of shelves; he approaches those closest to the window, but falls from some that are in the middle of the case. (00:13:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: RJ in the garage is doing his thing 'rapping' and doing whatever passed for music in the 80s. Part of the scene must have been left on the editing room floor, because after the close-up on his legs doing the moonwalking-y act he is about 1 meters away from the previous spot, under a different light, mounts on a box that had books on that corner (they are pushed back now), and even falls down on a bamboo mat that was not there before. (00:12:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: RJ offers to show Jason what he can do instead of wooden dummy sparring. Jason looks at him busting moves as he leans against the dummy with both arms, but in the first shot he had only the right arm in position. (00:12:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Rafer Jason Madison III asks Jason if they just moved in, eliciting a humorous response, he has two hands on the same (left) handle, switching to both hands at the cut. (00:11:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When RJ stops his boombox in front of Jason, the fact that the two shots were filmed in separate moments is obvious; they are now at greater distance and RJ does not cast his shadow on Bruce Lee anymore. (00:10:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jason drops the basketball he was carrying. There's a mat on the door of the trailer; when Jason picks up the ball the new kid bounced back to him, the mat is folded differently. (00:10:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jason grabs from the cart a Canada Dry box with a basketball and some blue plastic stuff on top, and brings it to the garage. He then goes back to the cart, and meets his future best buddy R.J. Madison as he...grabs from the cart a box with a basketball and some blue plastic stuff on top. (00:09:35 - 00:10:30)
