Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the party, Mr. Slade has a bunch of steak on the grill, but just two of them when he turns towards the mayor with an angry face. (01:14:30)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: When Marisa leaves the diner, you can see the door has a "Push" tag. However, the door opens inwards, and in fact to go outside she has to pull. (01:08:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the sour ending of their 'date', Marisa throws a bunch of bills on the table. David's shadow on the wall moves between shots, but he did not. (01:07:45)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Henry Silva is trapped in the jaws of the animal and screams asking for help from his indigenous sidekick, the beast is hardly crushing his body, more like holding it in place with no damage to his clothes or blood, and then turns it around between shots. (01:06:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The alligator baits Col. Brock through a feat of chinese shadow puppetry certainly quite unlikely for the intelligence shown in the rest of the movie, and inconsistent with the movements he's capable of, not to mention the fact that he would have needed to perfectly abscond covering himself in trash bags super-fast, flawlessly, silently. (01:05:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Marisa Kendall talks with her obviously arteriosclerotic mother on the phone, she holds the receiver in different ways between shots. (00:59:45)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: After the unmissable scene of a very excited Henry Silva appraising alligator dung, there's a small intermission showing some news on the TV. The "tv" is a literal cutout of a television that frames the footage. It's not even cut properly, the lines are jagged and not smooth. (00:52:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: A guy tries to sell a baby alligator to the protagonist. He approaches it holding the lid of the shoebox in his right hand, but in the reverse shot he's holding it in the left hand. (00:49:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the kid tries to pry the phone off his drunk mother's hands before leaving to challenge it to a knife fight, the hand position on the cord changes between shots. (00:46:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: David is trying to locate the beast through a map of the city - for some reason, since he already located it before. Problem is, the movie is set in Missouri but the map he's looking at on his bed is a map of Los Angeles (you can even read "Granada Hills"). Similar mistake a few minutes later in front of the sewers; you can easily read "Monterey Park" to the right of a different map he props against the wall. (00:37:15 - 00:38:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: David is looking at the book about alligators; he holds it with the fingers at the top corner, but in the reverse shot the fingers are not visible in that spot. (00:35:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the slimeball reporter is listening to an all-too-chatty nurse, he is leaning against his own hand which is in a different position in the reverse shot. (00:32:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: David's boss is driving him after the visit to the herpetologist. In the middle of the conversation the passenger's window goes from all the way up to halfway open and back to closed again. (00:30:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In his first trip in the sewers, Madison picks a brick; in close-up at the beginning Officer Jim Kelly has the flashlight pointed up. David drops the brick in the water; Kelly stepped forward and the flashlight is pointed down. Back to the original camera angle, and he's back holding the torch up. (00:22:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The rookie holds at gunpoint the Mad Bomber; in close-up John Lisbon Wood's shoulder is bare, but in the wider angles the shirt is still up and the collar is in place. (00:19:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the scene with the crazy guy and his exploding breast apparatus, the shirt and the position of his hands and the bomb keep changing depending on the camera angle. (00:18:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: After the press conference, there's a close-up of a newspaper ("The National Probe") which features obvious repetition of the same paragraphs over and over. (00:16:55)

Sammo ★

Factual error: In the kingdom selection screen, the section about the Venetians mentions the "Ri'Alto Islands." The name of the islands is Rialto, without apostrophes, and at no point in history (despite etymologically deriving from two separate words, Rivus Altus, "deep canal") it has been spelled that way.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: David helps the coroner put away in the large plastic bag a chewed human arm. A policeman calls him; he places his right hand flat on the railing, gripping it, but in the reverse shot he's leaning the closed fist on it, and tilted at an angle. (00:05:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: David asks for advice to the store owner. The man points at him with his hand turned in a different way between shots. (00:05:15)
