Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After the first clash with the Witch, as the narration says Hua Jun 'dies', but Mulan lives. The close-up on the blade shows a hand gripping it a couple inches below the blade, while whenever we see her face, before and after that close-up, she is holding it with her finger alongside the guard.

Mulan (2020)

Continuity mistake: The commanding officer (Donnie Yen) intervenes to stop the sword-pointing nonsense with his kung-fu badassery. He easily disarms the two litigious rookies and holds both their swords, but the pose he strikes is a different one in the two shots; Mulan's family heirloom is held alternatively low and high.

Continuity mistake: Once Mulan has reached the top of the mountain with her buckets, the action moves to the Rouran troops assaulting a city. Gong Li's witch is womanhandling a bunch of soldiers who try to impale her. She grabs a spear a few inches away from its feathers, but in the next shots her hand is covered by them. (00:50:50)

Continuity mistake: Chen Honghui extends his hand to "the little man" to help 'him' back on his feet, but Mulan pulls her sword on him. The sword strap dangles freely in the shots by the side, but it is held up in the close-ups of the blade pointed at his neck. (00:29:45)
