• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Jason refers to the Monkey King's staff as a "bo staff." However, the "bo staff" is a Japanese, not Chinese, name for such a weapon.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Jason makes reference to the game Virtua Fighter 2, and states that a character uses the "Buddha's Palm" technique. The only Virtua Fighter character that uses the move is Lei Fei. Lei Fei did not appear in the series until the fourth installment, and didn't get the "Buddha's Palm" move until Virtua Fighter 5.
  
  
• Continuity: In the fight between The Monk and Jade Warlord, Warlord cuts Monks shoulder with pole-arm and his robe is getting soaked in blood. Camera changes, and there is no cut or blood. Later on, it is visible again.
  
  

• Continuity: When the Jade Warlord slams the Silent Monk onto the Monkey King's altar at the end, it cuts to a different shot and the Silent Monk disappears, reappearing in the next shot.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jason is fighting the witch in the Jade castle, he jumps to recover the staff. You can clearly see that he has his hands on the pole when lands. In the next shot, the pole is several feet away from him. The shot after that, it's just within fingers reach.
  
  
• Factual errors: The Jade Warlord says that "it's their opium" (in Chinese) when his soldiers tell him about the prophecy. This story takes place during the Tang dynasty (AD 618 - AD 907). China started using opium in the 15th century.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: SPOILER: In the fight between Jason and the bully at the end of the film, the bully's black padding is visible under his white sleeveless t-shirt.
