• Audio/visual unsynchronized: The two-piece band is out of synch with the soundtrack.
  
  
• Continuity: When the truck lands in the parking space, Furton Greenwall is wearing a long sleeve shirt. When he gets out of the truck, he is wearing a short sleeve shirt.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Ace is in the bat cave, the shadow of the camera is visible.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Ace is being buried in sand by a tribe member during their fight, his watch disappears when he shakes off the sand but is back on his wrist in the next shot.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): One of the poachers claims to hear the cry of a female silverback gorilla. Only male gorillas can be silverbacks.
  
  
• Continuity: The chess pieces on the chess board that Vincent is playing on disappear 1/2 way through Ace's rant in his trophy room.
  
  
• Continuity: When Ace is hit by two arrows, one of them hits ground before he falls back. However, in the next shot both arrows are straightened up again.
  
  
• Continuity: When Ace is hit by the arrows in the woods, four are shown sticking into his back. After Ace hits the ground, five are sticking out of his back.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene when Ace in confronting the Consulate; the Consulate is playing a game of chess, pieces disappear during their conversation.
  
  
• Continuity: After Ace is hit by darts and wakes up in the native's hut, his white shirt is torn. A few shots later his shirt is intact again.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: The Wachootoo witch doctor has obvious false teeth covering his real teeth throughout the movie.
  
  
• Continuity: When Ace is trying to escape from the robotic rhinocerous, his hair is visible outside the opening in the long shots when it hasn't burst free yet in the close-ups.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Spike tasers Quinn, the electricity appears to "jump" from the taser to Quinn. The type of taser Spike was holding must come in contact with a person to have any effect on them.
  
  
• Errors in geography: The Elephant featured is this film is an Indian when the film is supposed to take place in Africa.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Ace is in the Production Room and makes that super hero mask on the general's head, you can clearly see in the shot the shadow of Aces fingers on the wall behind the general but not on the general's head.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Ouda attempts to translate what Ace says to the barbaric tribe, he translates three different lines in the tribe's language, but he says the same line twice for the first two sentences.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: The number of times the rope is wrapped around Quinn in the behind shot (When Ace is interrogating) him doesn't correspond with the number of times it is wrapped around him in the front.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the scenes where Ace is under attack by the poachers in the woods, part of his shirt falls off of his shoulder. In the next couple of shots, the side of his shirt that is off is back on his shoulder.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The Wachootoo Witch Doctor pulls out the heart of a man during Ace's tests, but he is still alive when Ace begins pulling the apple core out of his stomach.
  
  
• Errors in geography: When Ace and Greenwald are first walking through the jungle a large snake can be seen. The snake is a Burmese Python and is native to Asia, not Africa.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the body of the monster truck ace drives lifts up, the dashboard is just a piece of plywood with the steering wheel sticking through it.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: While driving through the jungle Ace hits a branch that breaks the car's windshield. In subsequent shots the windshield is clearly not broken. When they finally emerge from the jungle the windshield is cracked again, but in a pattern different from the first shot of its being broken. When the 'stuffed' elephant head falls off the wall, its trunk breaks revealing it to be hollow and thus fake.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While trying to escape from the Rhino hatch, Ace turns the door wheel right, rather than left, trying to open it.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Ace removes the apple from the victim's mouth, there is a shot where the victim and the medicine doctor are in the background. In the previous scene, the medicine doctor took out the victim's heart, creating a hole. However, in the shot with the victim and medicine doctor in the background, there is no hole in the victim's abdomen.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Ace lets the slinky go down the steps there is no way it could make it all the way as there are several widely spaced landings every so many steps that the slinky could not overcome.
  
  
• Continuity: When the warrior rips the spears out of Ace's legs, you can see the Wachootoo Chief and the Witch doctor in the back round, but in the next shot, they are behind Ace, ready to pick him up off the ground.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Ace is walking through a forest, there is a closeup shot of him saying "I can feel it like it's right...In my neck!" during that shot, you can see that the back round has clearly changed. (This is more noticeable on the 4:3 open matte version)
  
  
• Continuity: When Ace breaks off the wheel handle attempting to escape from the Rino, you can see that it breaks off the base cleanly. When the camera angle changes, right before he throws down the handle, you can see that the base is still attached to the handle and there is an empty spot on the Rino wall where the base used to be.
