** The three CutePsycho bunnies of the band of thieves at Juniper City appear in the two main posters, the trailer, and in a LOT of the TV spots. They only appear in the scene they're introduced in and in the climax. Meaning that if you watch said trailers and TV spots, you have already seen half of their screen-time.

* InformedSpecies:
** While the Chameleon has a head crest and very long tongue, she's missing the distinctive eyes that real chameleons have (instead having typical reptilian eyes) and has unusually long spines along her tail (more akin with the spines of an iguana).
** Apart from their large size, her komodo dragon guards look little like the real deal, having dark green scales rather than golden-brown scales like real komodos, and also have long spines along their heads and tails, which real komodos lack.

** In the shows, Mr. Ping could casually fly in the air and stay airborne whenever the plot called for it. In this movie when we see him flying for the first time, he can only fly in very short bursts from one stone step to another and needs Li Shan's help in giving him a lift to achieve his short bursts.

** In the first movie, Mr. Ping's noodle shop was heavily damaged during Po's battle with Tai Lung, with the subsequent sequels still showing visible cracks and fillings where it had been repaired. At the beginning of his film, Po, Ping and Li host a grand reopening of the restaurant, which appears to have been renovated with all of the previous battle damage completely gone.

* CardboardPal: Due to the Furious Five going on separate mission to protect China, Po and his two dads made cardboard cutouts of the Furious Five.



** In all three prior movies, Shifu took part in the climax and had at least one fight scene, if not more. In this one, he appears at the beginning, but disappears after Po goes to Juniper City, and does not reappear until after the story is over, at the very end.

Just like the second movie, this could be justified since Shifu has to keep an eye on the Jade Palace.

* SecurityCling: Right after Li Shan declares that he's become "... a bit of warrior. Strong. Brave.", the sound of a whip scares him and he jumps into Mr. Ping's arms (wings?). Of course, Li Shan is a giant panda and Ping is just a goose, so he ends up squashed under the weight.

They tread silently among them, but Po leaves the manhole cover to slowly roll toward the stairs... and fall down each step one by one with a loud metallic sound. Miraculously, the guards don't wake up for now... [[spoiler:although they do after Po farts.]]
