  • Factual errors: The intertitles state, "The Buddha says, 'What thou dost not want others to do thee, do thou not to others.'" It was actually not the Buddha but Confucius' teaching.

  • Continuity: During the boxing scene, when the two fighters enter the ring; Battling is wearing his robe in one shot, and in the next shot it is off.

  • Crew or equipment visible: While Lucy is looking into the window of Cheng Huan's shop, director D.W. Griffith, in his shirtsleeves and wearing a vest, can briefly but very clearly be seen reflected in the window, briskly walking into the shot and sitting down in a chair beside the camera. This occurs in the shot immediately following the intertitle "The girl with the tear-aged face."

  • Factual errors: SPOILER: The lead character, a Chinese man, commits Japanese ritual suicide. Griffith was apparently confused about the two cultures.
