Continuity mistake: When Naoto and Ruriko are on the park bench, and he tries to make up some story about where did he spend the past decade, Natsuna's scarf is folded in a different way in the different main angles of the conversation. (01:03:20)

Continuity mistake: When Naoto witnesses White Tiger putting Yellow Tiger against the ropes, his left hand is on the third bar of the door. Cut to White Tiger gloating, and Naoto is gripping the second bar. Similarly, when later Jo finishes Dan off breaking his leg, sometimes between Naoto's hands there are 4 bars or 5 even if his hands move always up and down the same bars. (00:46:25)

Revealing mistake: During Black Mask's fight against Salamander, he dodges the enemy's fire and then sweeps him off his feet. But Salamander's fall is blocked in midair by obvious wirework to give Tiger a chance to punch him in midair. (00:32:00)

Revealing mistake: When the kids are fighting and one of them puts the other in a Boston Crab hold, a third kid, the main character, breaks up the fight by, well, embarrassing to say, poking the assailant in the butthole with two fingers. Jo rolls away and keeps screaming indicating that he got hurt not just in his pride, but you could easily see that no such action was actually perpetrated. (00:19:15)

Revealing mistake: The female head trainer of the Tiger's Den puts a blindfold on and with a kick KOs the trainee that was sparring with the children. In the close-up of the kick you can see it is miles away from connecting. (00:17:05)

Stupidity: The movie plot has a level of basic idiocy that the anime never had in any of its incarnations; Mr. X here is a scientist who made 3 unique masks that can be worn only by certain people with specific potential that are born"once in a lifetime", and raised 3 candidates out of maybe hundreds, for over 10 years of arduous training. One of them, Jo, out of jealousy attacks and cripples another. The mad scientist does absolutely nothing to stop the fight, that goes on for ages, nor punishes the rebel who did irreparable damage; in fact that aspect is never addressed at all and is as a normal case of "survival of the fittest." Later in the movie, Jo asks "permission" to hunt the third Tiger Mask, who meanwhile escaped. He didn't ask permission to destroy the most valuable asset of the gang, but he does for going after the traitor. X is also money-motivated and in a cutthroat competition against other branches, making his actions and inactions even more incomprehensible.

Stupidity: Naoto could have easily prevented his friend being crippled by their rival if just he put his superpower mask on, which he had with him all the time and tries to use only at the very end after Jo has been torturing Dan for a long time.

Continuity mistake: At the club, Dan says hi to two girls. He does it with his hand behind Naoto's shoulder, but in the reverse shot his arm is actually in front of Naoto. (00:36:15)

Continuity mistake: Young Dan and Jo are fighting over their meal. The position of the tray on the table changes several times, most noticeably when Dan leaps off the table. Moreover, when he returns to it after he jumped off the bed, the tray is empty minus a little red berry, but it still had rice and other food on it earlier. (00:18:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The children are fighting the blindfolded trainee. He stops short of punching one of them in the face. Reaction shots on the three kids, and the middle one crosses his arms, only to show up with the arms uncrossed in the next shot, just like he was in the previous from the same angle. (00:16:40)

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)
