...When the degree of 'witchness' of a witch is determined by the intensity of her eyes 'shining'. If she doesn enlarge her eyes beyond bulging capacity,then she is not a full-blown witch.

- When you can tell the entire movie plot from the Poster.
- When Pete Edochie dies and someone says "The great Iroko has fallen".
- When Chiwetalu Agu says the same "Igbo phrase" through out the entire movie.
- When a club scene with people dancing lasts for over 15 minutes with no dialogue or incident.

When the police scenes are actually the last thought about by the producers (reason for the ill-fitting uniforms and uncoordinated acts from these scene.

When the Policemen have to throw themselves on the grass or in a gutter without a shot from the bad guys and roll right there in the open and the bad guys don't take them out.

When a vehicle they left home with is different from the one they had an accident with . . . tongue
Saw one movie, they left home with Black Range Rover and when they claim they had an accident, they were inside a black pathfinder . . . Who are they fooling?
