Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When the frog lady puts Baby Yoda down the moment she gets back to the ship being chased by spiders, the baby is a toy that scurries away in the most unnatural way. (00:29:40)

Revealing mistake: An enraged Cheetah almost literally mops the White House floor with Diana flailing her around with the lasso. Wonder Woman is sent back first into a pillar, which disintegrates from the impact. Very good, but not so good is the other piece of pillar that comes down and bounces like rubber by her. (01:51:45)

Revealing mistake: Maxwell is surrounded by the Secret Service, but these trained specialists look around idly and confused when he gets lasso'd and turns towards Diana telling her "Well, aren't you resourceful", as if they wouldn't see the cartoon rope. The guy on the left even appears to be fumbling with his communicator or belt weapon. (01:47:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The Son of Hercules brings to the nearby village the old man that died on the beach. You can see the 'corpse' move his arm to assist Mark Forest as he dismounts him from the horse.

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Cheetah is under fire from the security of the White House and runs towards the camera to grab a column and swing around it like a pole, she is not Kristen Wiig - appears to be a purely CGI shot. (01:50:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Diana saves the kids, with the kids being dummies so obvious to spot it's not even funny. (01:25:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Barbara is checking out the microfilms that talk about the mysterious stone, you can see in the last one just before the close-up on her eyes that it bears the date "1986", posterior to the movie setting (you may need to pause to read the full paragraph, which says indeed "During 1986, sections were drawn", and it's also worth adding that you can also spot easily that most paragraphs are recycled from one slideshow to the next). (01:13:40)

Revealing mistake: Wonder Woman tosses from the shopping mall building the four criminals neatly wrapped up in a banner. The guys smash in their fall the roof of a police car, and they softly bounce as if they landed on a mattress. (00:17:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The principal apprehends the two younger and bigger guys at once (and for some reason they don't gang up on him and kick his butt). The other guys in the Chevy decide to get back in and drive away. You can already see on the dirt the path they will follow, which is logical for the bit in reverse but not so much for the part when they turn left and go forward, which is not how the car could arrive to that point. And when later the car circles around, it moves also on a path that was not showing in the first shot. (00:11:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Jason does his backflipping move that wins him the match...you can actually see it's Corey Yuen dressed as him that does it. (01:35:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: During the final fight, Ivan the Russian forgets completely how to fight and never, ever pulls guard. Look no further than the moment when right at the beginning Jason charges at him; Van Damme blatantly drops the arms on purpose to be hit. (01:32:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Ivan goes berserk and kicks the referee out of the ring; you can see the actor bounce up. Apparently in some prints of the movie it is possible to even see a mat - not in the Region 2 DVD. (01:31:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The TV commentators for the final fight sit at their table with bleachers in the background, but the other shots of the 'arena' show it's nothing more than a gym with everyone sitting at the same level. (01:16:20)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: RJ does some breakdance routine before inviting everyone on the dancefloor. As he does the final kip-up, the white dude in blackface who bodydoubles him nearly loses his wig. (01:11:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jason charges in to save his dad from the beating. He breezes past the three goons and the last to charge him is the drunk dude that caused the whole commotion. In the middle shot that follows it's blatant that the exchange starts with the guy on his feet, standing, and not running at Jason, and there are visible pauses between the punches where he is waiting to be counterpunched. Completely open and still. (01:08:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Casey Jones gets off the garbage truck he rammed the fire escape stairs with, he punches two ninjas, but they go down (especially the first) before his fists connect (or rather don't connect). (01:21:10)

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 ★

Revealing mistake: Walker meets his demise in sequence with a shockingly poor visual effect; he falls into the ocean from the cliff, and instead of splashing into the water, he sorta disappears quickly through it. (01:22:55)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The Turtles give chase to Walker; Leo and Raph run across a roof, but the tiles are obviously fake; look at Raph's feet and you'll see one in particular bending like gum under the push. (01:21:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: It's even too obvious when the movie finale turns into a bit of a farce, but when Mitsu elbows the guards to free herself, it's obvious that she does no damage - the guards are wearing armor, even - and the extras don't do anything to 'sell' the hit. (01:20:20)
