The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Other mistake: When Kindaichi rushes to Longtao's rescue, he is not carrying the flashlight with him. He's in a deep cave bunker with no light at all (plot point mere moments earlier), he should be blind as a bat. In the following episode he even searches for clues in the cave, again without the light.

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Other mistake: The two survivors from 18 years prior approach the building with nothing on their person, then suddenly Matsuoka has a flashlight, which he gives to Shinomiya as he goes inside alone. Kindaichi and Longtao arrive, completely unprepared to any dungeon crawling, and the three of them go in with yet another flashlight. (00:13:50)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Other mistake: Misty's car at the beginning of the movie crashes into the house presumably breaking through the perimeter wall, certainly does smash through interior walls and furniture, but in the living room it still has every single light, including the side ones, completely whole and undamaged.

Sammo

Other mistake: Tuba is back home after Rambo completely ruined the dinner at his fiancée's. During the scene, the clock on the wall has all hands still, including the seconds. (01:11:00)

Star Trek: Picard (2020)

Farewell - S2-E10

Other mistake: When Tallinn dies, not only she is killed through a neurotoxin made in 2024 by a human, for humans, through a patch that the killer carelessly touches himself (we have to be generous and assume he developed some antidote to it) and somehow they can't cure with their advanced tech, but her eyes become bloodshot with visible red blood vessels. Romulan blood is green.

Sammo

Other mistake: The gag where Tuba draws a lion that initially seems something else is actually pretty funny, but also obviously impossible since the zoom level of the CCTV camera changes entirely throughout it to be able to show in detail what he's drawing. Also, Sammo Hung's denim jacket always covers his arms all the way to his wrists when he's on camera, but the person sketching in the close-ups shows the sleeves of a khaki shirt. (00:17:40)

Dio to no seishun - S1-E3

Other mistake: During the fight, Dio seems to have the upper hand a first time when he bends JoJo's spear. In a Batman-like manoeuvre, Jojo disappears when Dio is facing the other way to finish his speech, but the weird part is that all the corpses are suddenly gone too.

Dio the Invader - S1-E1

Other mistake: JoJo finds inside the basket full of grapes the handkerchief he lost. Somehow, the name embroidered on the handkerchief quadrupled in size. (00:14:05)

Alligator (1980)

Other mistake: In the party scene, the monster chews repeatedly on a blonde man in a white tuxedo while suspiciously humping a table. This happens while Slade locks the car. There's another shot of the partygoers running away scared, but that is recycled from the earlier bit when the alligator tail-whipped a security guard earlier; the guests that are running away are the exact same (look for instance at the woman with the brown dress and the black belt). You can even spot the security guard flying again in the air like a minute earlier. (01:16:25)

Alligator (1980)

Other mistake: Henry Silva is interviewed by a reporter played by Sue Lyon in her last movie appearance. She holds a microphone with the familiar peacock symbol of NBC on it, but in the end credits she is "ABC Reporter." (00:50:10 - 01:25:45)

Sammo

Other mistake: The ship the characters use to get to Israel from Trieste is supposed to be named "San Salvatore", but the stock footage is a repeat of the exact same ship they used to get from the US to London, the St. Louis. (00:20:15)

Treasure of Nadia

Other mistake: The protagonist reads the last will of his adventurer father, "Idaho Jones" The will supposedly also contains a 'candid photography' of the father, but in the screenshot where everyone stares in disbelief at what Mr. Jones and his lady friends liked to call "the kraken", the asset used to portray the back of the photo is one of a postcard.

Sammo

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1

Other mistake: During this episode and the next 4 of this story arc, the signs of the stores in Hong Kong are recycled from the first episode of the series. Hong Kong is a pretty big city, the odds of Kindaichi (who is not staying at the same hotel nor dealing with anything related to the first case) just happening to be in the same nondescript streets with the "Ocean Guest House" are astronomically low.

Sammo

Other mistake: When Tuba argues with Rambo in his room and Cheung can't see him, the calendar on the wall is a June 1986 calendar. While it's not specified how long Joanne and Tuba have been dating and it is hinted by the different clothes in each vignette that they certainly have been going out a while, the events of the movie don't take a whole year (the blackmail that caused Rambo's death is attempted again in a later scene, and Rambo wouldn't just let Tuba alone without visiting him for months). Later in the warehouse fight the calendar shows January 1986.

Sammo

Other mistake: When Rambo gets killed, the lethal shell comes out of the right barrel, but in the earlier close-up on the villain gloating after maiming Rambo's legs, the right barrel was the one that already fired, smoke coming out of it. (00:32:40)

Medieval II: Total War

Other mistake: In the introduction clips of the campaign, the historian is writing in Latin on a book with illustrations of armies and warring empires. The text he is writing though is from St. Augustin's "Confessiones."

Sammo

Other mistake: In the Street Fighter collaboration, great care was placed replicating the Street Fighter II arcade selection screen, but the positions of the characters (originals and stand-ins) are all wrong.

Sammo

Kako kara no tegami - S1-E2

Other mistake: The first victim of the mask in the series falls back against crates that must be made of dry leaves, since all it takes is for the body to lean against them to utterly shatter them. (00:18:55)
