  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Abbot bowls his ball down the gutter and it hops out, and as he turns back to the crowd, you can see just over his shoulder the mechanism which caused the ball to jump is still extended in the gutter.
  • The train yard that Eric worked as a security guard is the Mass Bay Transportation Authority's, Red Line's Cabot Yard located in South Boston.
  • The Kata Hilary Swank performs in the monk's hall and under the waterfall is a portion of the first Iron Horse form (Kata), "Naihanchi Shodan". This is a form in Tang Soo Do, (a Korean art) the style of Hilary's instructor for the movie. Tang Soo Do shares this Kata with other arts in Japan (Shotokan) and Okinawa (Shorin-Ryu). Miyagi-San identifies his style only as "Okinawan Karate", but that could be any of the Okinawan styles that share this form. Since in The Karate Kid, Part II Miyagi's nemesis runs a school in Naha with the Gojo Ryu fist as a logo and his students wear the Gojo Ryu fist on their uniforms, then Miyagi is probably teaching Gojo Ryu (one of the five main styles of Okinawan karate), since Miyagi's father taught both him and Sato.
  • The ladder that Eric and Julie climb on to the train's roof, #01737, was added for the movie. The train is still in service today.
