Continuity mistake: The writing on the cow post-it is different from the first time we see it to the time when Healy checks it out later (the most immediately noticeable difference being the length of the prime in the 'six feet' notation). (00:07:50 - 00:12:25)

Continuity mistake: When Jackson checks out the note in front of March's house, he holds it in the 'front' of the cow, but in close-up his thumb is between the cow's legs. (00:12:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jackson heads out of his apartment forgetting the dusters on top of the TV. In the first shot the TV guide is open, it is closed on the close-up. (00:11:55)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Healy tears off the October 26 sheet from the calendar, and before the camera cuts away, it shows the October 25 sheet underneath it. That's not how calendars work. (00:11:25)

Sammo ★

Factual error: We're in the year 1977, and it's established later by multiple elements that it's October 26th. However, at the gas station March reads a headline about a killer bee in Brazil (which is a plot point, even!), which refers to real life events from November of the same year. (00:06:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Twice over in the movie (when Healy wakes up and when March at the end of the movie drives to his place) billboards for The Comedy Store appear. The program of the evening features comedians such as Tim Allen, Richard Lewis, Robert Klein and "Elaine Boosler." So they misspelled Elayne Boosler's name. (00:10:50 - 01:48:35)

Factual error: Showing the exterior of Healy's apartment, it is established that he lives above the famous stand-up club "The Comedy Store." Showing the entrance though, they show also the board above it which is composed of signatures of famous comedians - most of them who never appeared on it in 1977, when the movie is set. For instance you can see Roseanne (Barr) 's signature on the bottom right corner, and also Pauly Shore's. (00:10:55)

Continuity mistake: When March nearly kills himself punching the door, the hole in the glass changes between shots; there's next to no glass left at the top of the panel he punched, then it grows back a couple inches. (00:09:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jackson Healy takes the envelope from Amelia and begins counting the money. She eases the grip on the wheel in the side view, but she's again clenching it tight in the frontal view. Moreover, when he tells her she's short, she has just one hand on it; cut away a second, and she's again with the same grip as the previous part of the scene, showing two separate takes edited together. (00:07:50)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The movie is set in October 1977, but Holland March is waiting in a line to fill his gas tank on an "even" day. The 'even/odd' rationing was instituted in California during the second oil crisis of 1979, in May. (00:06:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The 'big boy' goes to check the car that crashed through his house. He leans against a plain spot on the car's door, but in the next shot he does it gripping the bottom tray. (00:02:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the opening, one of Tiger Mask's first moves involves him doing a somersault off his big opponent. He lands at a different distance in the two shots, however. (00:02:20)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Meeting Dana at the Lincoln Center fountain, Venkman tells her that Gozer was a deity worshipped in 6,000 BC by Hittites, Mesopotamians and Sumerians. There are no historical accounts of those specific populations dating back to that ancient of a date, or writing of any form for that matter. (00:43:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Tuba 'possessed' by Rambo sprints towards the bad guy for the final clash, the items on the desk in the room with the money change placement between shots (look at the green jar, for instance, or when Tuba gets knocked down again and jumps over the desk, which at that point has on it just a book that turns and shifts in the reverse shot). (01:24:00 - 01:25:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the battle against the opponent armed with a hook, Cheung tries to jump on him when he's on the ground, but the guy sends him back with both feet into a bunch of fruit boxes. Cheung knocks most of them down, but in the POV shot of the villain when he looks for him, a few boxes are back where they were. (01:23:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During 'part 2' of his fight, Cheung gets grabbed by his opponent by the jacket; he holds him in a different spot between shots. (01:22:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Tuba musters some courage and rushes to help Cheung, he tackles the villain in two completely different trajectories in the two shots. (01:20:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: A fight ensues inside the market; Tuba watches the two baddies ganging up on Cheung and kicking him through a stack of baskets and some boxes of fruits. Cheung in the first shot is crashing on a box of apples which becomes a box of oranges in the next one. It does not add up. (01:20:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the gang member puts the citrus on top of the money, the box he uses as a lid has an orange band on it, and it's on the left half. When the boss grabs the box, the orange line is on the other half. When he bumps into Tuba, he's carrying a different box without the orange band. (01:19:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the food market, the henchman brings the suitcase to his accomplice, who touches the suitcase towards the corner. In the reverse shot, his hand is in a different position more towards the center. (01:18:55)
