Mistake Revealing: In the scene with Scorpion and Johnny Cage in the forest, you can see a car drive by in the far left corner. You have to look really close though.

Mistake Continuity: When Johnny Cage is fighting Scorpion, and he does his human spear, Johnny runs until he stops at the tree. The spear then catches up, and becomes wrapped around the tree in front of Johnny. When the camera changes view, the spear is just leaning on the tree. The camera changes view again and the spear is wrapped around the tree again. When Scorpion pulls the spear back, it goes straight back, and doesn't unwind around the tree.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Kitana, Lui, and Johnny are heading towards the Black tower in Outworld, or when Kitana is explaining that Outworld used to be a beautiful place (same time) there is a large screen shot overhead and you can see the shadow of a man on a wall is holding a microphone.

Mistake Audio problem: In the final fight scene between Liu and Shang Tsung, Liu hits Shang in the face repeatedly, but there is one extra hit sound for which there is no motion.

Mistake Revealing: When Sonya grabs Kano with her legs, the tape is obviously sped up.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene at the end where the spikes rise from the ragon pattern in the floor, if you look carefully you can see that the spikes are tearing through tin foil.

Mistake Other: When Johnny Cage is fighting Scorpion in the forest, after Scorpion unleashes his snake-like spear from his hand but before the camera switches to Johnny, you can see the spear move down and it appears to be coming out of his forearm. Also the hole in Scorpion's hand from the spear is now gone.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Where Shang Tsung kidnaps Sonya and take her to outworld, you can see the green markers used for camera positions, lighting plans, or actors' marks on the floor.

Mistake Continuity: When Liu Kang fights Sub-zero, Liu Kang stands in a fighting position with his left hand in front of him while Sub-zero generates a lot of ice. Just before the ice hits Liu Kang, the shot changes and Liu Kang stands opposite with his right hand in front of him.

Mistake Continuity: In the final fight (Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung), after Liu Kang has defeated the five people Shang Tsung made appear, Liu goes to the middle of the floor (and MK logo) and says "Is that all you've got, sorcerer?" Immediately after this line, the camera angle (and shot) changes, and if you pay attention to the MK logo on the floor, notice that Liu Kang turns 90 degrees between the shots without taking a single step.

Mistake Revealing: When Johnny shoulder rolls in the forest to dodge the spear, he passes right through the cable when he stands up.

Mistake Revealing: When the three heroes are confronted by Subzero and Scorpion on the junk, Scorpion extends his living grappler hook from his hand. As he does so, the hook does not quite move in synch with the hand, indicating its origin as inserted computer image.

Mistake Continuity: When Johnny Cage goes to kick Scorpion in the forest, he leads with his left foot but after they teleport he falls with his right leg extended.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Kano is talking to Goro, he is drinking from a large goblet, and it is the only one on the table. Goro knocks the drink onto Kano's lap, and the camera cuts to Goro saying, "How lucky for them, back home." The camera cuts back to Kano and the goblet is sitting back on the table. The camera cuts to Shang Tsung entering the room and back to Kano with the goblet correctly missing.

Mistake Continuity: When Shang Tsung has finished summoning his warriors, before the last fight with Liu, the camera zooms out showing all five warriors, you can see Shang lowering his arms to his sides. Then it shows a close-up of Shang Tsung and he has his arms in the air and lowers them again.
