Outcast (2014)

Other mistake: Prince Shing and the King have a conversation that lasts not less than 5 minutes of movie (which compresses the time somewhat; groups of people get in and out of the large hall, which wouldn't be instantaneous and happens at least 3 times). The conversation happens while the other members of the royal family are running away through a secret passage. With such a considerable head start and wasting no time (they keep moving even when they put mantles on), they are reached by heavily-armored guards, through the same secret passage, within seconds. (00:12:10 - 00:17:10)

Other mistake: The example screen with the Time Attack results shows wildly unrealistic results - you can't clear 2-3 stages from enemies in 13 seconds, unless you use cheating programs. It takes longer than that just to walk from start to finish.

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Jordan comes out of the truck, something went wrong with perspective and/or proportions, because with his leg bent he is practically as tall as the truck door, and he's a child.

Sammo

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Other mistake: Bruce remembers who he is, which somehow gives him also the strength to bend metal (!) and escape. A new prisoner is carried in the camp by the guards, but...he's not new at all. He was already there the first day, standing in the group of prisoners that was eating. And the guy who escorts him is the same that less than a second later spots Bruce from the watchtower and blows the whistle. (00:06:20 - 00:14:30)

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Other mistake: The kids need sunglasses to be in daylight, since they have been segregated into the darkness of the sewers for so long. For the happy ending though, only the first one has a moment (very brief, considering that Frog still needed them at Bruce's) of squinting, eye-rubbing and discomfort. The others are instantly fine already the moment they are pulled out of the manhole. (00:21:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Other mistake: Behind Ishizaki on the bench as he incites Tsubasa in the last action of the episode, Manabu's legs and feet do not link correctly (something went wrong in the drawing, he's sockless all of a sudden and the ankles are much wider than the feet). (00:19:25)

Lupin (2021)

Chapter 3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the date on the security camera is 29/11/2020, 1:30 am. Later when the policeman checks his phone, it's 30/11, meaning that Pellegrini waited to contact him more than a day. In episode 2, Assane's phone showed the date as Tuesday 27th Oct (timecode around 00:16:30), which would mean if true that they investigated for over a month without discussing with the commissioner the basic details, which of course is impossible. (00:02:30 - 00:13:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Other mistake: 15 players were picked for the team. Genzo is injured, 11 are playing. Three are MIA with no explanation. Morisaki has to parry 10 shots for every other player, he parries 100 total. Ryo Ishizaki though is still a substitute, so that would mean there's the unexplained absence of even one more team regular.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Other mistake: Wakabayashi throws the ball to his teammates leading to the hat-trick; the ball in that shot is of the wrong size, almost twice as big as Genzo's head. (00:18:50)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: The gasoline at the climax of the movie catches fire, which is absolutely fine...but the fire spreads with the same intensity and speed across the money pile which was not touched by the gas. And it does it with a pattern, too. But the gas never got there. (01:21:45)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Kyle and his daughter manage to free themselves burning (at least in part) their scotch tape bindings. The robbers don't realise that. Try to burn similar tape with a lighter; the smell (that they can't mask) is gonna alert anyone, especially when they get this close. Later Kyle is working the weakened tape and in close-up we see just his forearms, but the kind of movement he does is impossible to make without moving the rest of the arm, and the bad guy (with his accomplices) is literally looking at him at that moment. (00:50:00 - 00:54:00)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Sarah steals the tranquillizer syringe (which is no small syringe, either) and supposedly slips it in her sleeve. Problem is, Nicole Kidman is wearing a pretty tight dress with sleeves that go up to the elbows. There is no way for her to hide the syringe that way (and in fact the actions of hiding the object and then later in the movie pulling it out happen in shadowy close-ups). (00:36:20)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Succinylcholine paralyses you for about 10 minutes; in the movie it lasts way longer, and the bad guys were planning to use it instead of ropes and cuffs. It would have bought them a really short time, surely insufficient to make their planned escape to Mexico, while tying them up with just about anything (zip ties, scotch tape) would have given them potentially hours.

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: If Meiwa scored already 10 goals the previous year (when the championship was won by Shuutetsu) it is hard to explain how nobody from Shuutetsu knew about Hyuga, since they were serious contenders. (00:13:40)

Sammo

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: When Nankatsu scores their third goal, several Shimada players (two during Morisaki's passage and then the keeper when he turns around to see the ball into the goal) sport jerseys with the wrong team name, "SIMADA", missing an H. (00:09:30)
