Goofs

When Lee breaks into the consul, during the fight with Whitney, the door is open at the start of the fight, yet it is closed (seconds later) when Consul Han opens the door to tell Russ that it is Lee.

Share this

Near the start, when the 'cop' directing traffic directs the Mercedes off to the right, the Honda Accord in front changes from light blue to dark brown between shots

Share this

Toward the end of the movie we see a news van with "channel 8" and call letters on them that start with "W." Television stations in Los Angeles and any city west of the Mississippi River have call letters that start with "K" and not "W."
