Other mistake: The Megadrive port of this game for the European market has an added introduction which suffers from some translation problems, generating the mother of all internet memes "All your bases are belong to us." There are plenty of other problems with the translation ("What happen?" "Somebody set up us the bomb", etc).

Continuity mistake: In the temple, while Muten Roshi and Yamcha are by Goku, Bulma and sifu Norris are by Chi Chi. She moves a bit then is unconscious, in the background. Her arms go limp with the palms up. As Roshi inhales. Chi Chi is lying with the palm down. Later in the scene the arm is back on her lap and slipped down the shot that follows. (00:59:55 - 01:01:00)

Continuity mistake: When Bulma and Yamcha are bonding, right at the beginning they go up some stairs. There are some extras that are descending, and are pretty characteristic; one has a blue hat, one a white fisherman hat and a yellow shirt, and the third a white tunic with a peculiar pattern. Yamcha and Bulma talk a bit, and while they do, there's a brief cut to one of the salesmen downstairs. And guess what? Walking down the stairs by him there's the aforementioned trio of extras, walking down that same flight of stairs as before. (00:50:30)

Stupidity: The characters wish for the resurrection of just one person (Roshi) rather than everyone killed by Piccolo as would be natural (and as they do in anime and manga). Okay, Piccolo in this movie sucks at killing and resurrecting Muten covers 50% of the total body count, but they can't know that.

Continuity mistake: When Goku is called back to life with the Kamehameha, he screams. You can see, next to Justin Chatwin's head, master Roshi's knee. Couple shots later, both Chow Yun-Fat and Chatwin let go and drop on the floor, but the knee is still where and as it was in the new close-up. (01:00:00)

Plot hole: In this top level state-of-the-art security prison with transparent walls, cameras everywhere and no civil rights concerns since it's all illegal, there's not a single hidden microphone in the communal parts. Even worse, the wardens never search the inmates, who can smuggle freely all sort of stuff, sometimes in the most blatant way (like when the protagonist gets stitches for his leg).
9th Oct 2019
Plot hole: In the Bendwater escape, the security cameras show the time outside the prison as 15:59, but a few cuts later, there's a shot of Stallone in his cell with the timecode being 15:56. That's not a continuity mistake, since it turns out that Breslin rolled back the security monitor, the problem is, he is shown doing that at 15:57, and barely rolling the tape past the point when he stands up. By the time the guards are looking at the monitor after 16:01, the tape showing him nice and quiet 3 minutes before would have already rolled to the incriminating part where he breaks out of the cell. (00:06:50 - 00:13:25)
9th Oct 2019
Plot hole: The most secure prison in the world, designed with the advanced schematics of world leading prison-building architect (J.D Ray Breslin) has cameras somehow interconnected to one another so tightly that physically neutralizing one puts every other camera out of commission as well.
9th Oct 2019
Stupidity: The security system is able to automatically ascertain the malfunction to the exact valve, and the electrical problem, but the alarm is not triggered at that point, but only when the holding cells are already filled with water and Breslin is making his return. They are on a ship, the fact that it's taking on water feels like a pretty important issue to monitor.
9th Oct 2019
Audio problem: The helicopter appears in front of the window (like, a few feet away) of the command deck of a ship in the middle of the ocean, with the ship being in full alert and with guards all around the premises but who all somehow missed its deafening arrival. (01:35:50)
9th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Jane is back at the dinner table after supposedly recovering from her illness. In the wide shot of the room, Mrs. Bennet says "I know of no-one who is coming." Mr Bennet at the other end of the table is sitting back, hands off the table. But, he answers in a close-up, where he is buttering his toast. (00:32:35)

Plot hole: Jerico locates the doctor using the "phone tracking software by the CIA" from a public library computer. There's enough of Pope's proficiency with computers in him to block from remote any attempt from the CIA headquarters to look into what he's doing precisely (does not sound like it's a standard function to have, obscure agent activity from their own HQ!), but not enough to delete the history from the computer when he's done. Not just that, but through that search done at the library presumably several minutes earlier (the CIA agents have to physically go to the public library and search the computer terminal) he is able to locate the doctor, who is walking down a street. Finally; why would the doctor they flew in overnight from the US have a UK mobile number as shown on screen?

Plot hole: Jerico leaves Jill's house to go to the university, driving her car. While he's away, Elsa pays her a visit and extorts the location. When we see Jerico at the university, he enters the book cellar, finds the famous duffel bag almost immediately, and as he exits, outside there's Heimdahl sitting there, having set him a trap. That would already been hard to swallow, but we could assume his location was significantly closer than Jerico's to the university library and Elsa phoned him. But becomes downright impossible when we see that to pull the lever of the Home Alone-ish trap there's none other than Elsa, miraculously arrived at his destination despite him having a huge headstart.
9th Oct 2019
Plot hole: The CIA is desperately trying to find Pope's contact, to the point of doing the crazy experimental brain surgery shipping over the ocean the one scientist that may perform it, and an inmate. But they don't have Pope's house under surveillance or his phone tapped, so they have no idea Strook called him. The fact that Strook not hearing back from Pope would try to contact him was quite literally the most obvious possible event. (00:31:00)
9th Oct 2019
Factual error: Showing the submarine Strook "hacks", the movie displays "USS Virginia SSN743." USS Virginia is SSN774, while SSN743 is USS Louisiana. (01:13:10)
9th Oct 2019
Factual error: The villain performs his hit at the beginning of the movie by remotely changing the GPS destination of a cab, so they head to the wrong place and into an ambush. Assuming that neither the cabbie or Pope notice the change on screen, and that his sophisticated software silenced the voice announcement of the course being recalculated, and makes the new place also marked as the old one (it is after all a god-like movie software), the trick is done on on a London black cab, whose drivers are notorious for "The Knowledge", aka being required to learn the entire topografy of the city in one of the most demanding training courses in the world, and not using GPS. It'd be definitely unlikely for the cab driver to be totally unaware, to the point of Pope himself noticing first that they are at the wrong place.
9th Oct 2019
Factual error: The bad guy's henchwoman reads the license plate as "SI52JGN", he repeats it as such but on screen he types "S152JGN" (with the second character as a number 1 and not a letter I). I (like Q and Z) is a letter that can't be used in the first 2 digits of a UK license plate, anyway. (00:04:45)

Other mistake: Vic is helpless as Morris is bleeding to death on the sidewalk. She has her feet on a manhole in the view before the Staples, but in the overhead shot it's him with the feet on in it. On a sidenote, when he is helping her out and the passersby are seen, on the left you can spot by the Italian place under the umbrella a few extras who are having a great time and laughing, not bad for being 20 feet from a shootout and with a dying cop in front of them. (00:05:30)
9th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Vic's colleague brings him the plate with the tiniest piece of cake, the red fork switches side between shots (it also gets upright in the next shot 'stabbing' the cake instead of lying on the plate, but that could have been done by her out of frame, even if it's not a gesture that makes a lot of sense). (00:08:55)
