Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: When Dwayne stalks Simone, his sidecar is smack in the middle of the driveway when she approaches; he drives away towards the left but he is then lurking on the right side of the road as she drives off. All of that with his front light on. Not even a blind person could Miss it, and he'd have to swerve wildly to get in that sort of position. (00:28:10)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: Humph points out a suspiciously large cash transfer that happened 'three months ago'. On the bank statement, the transfer is shown as happening on Feb 3, so we should be around May. The security footage Dwayne reviews established that the murder happened on the 7th of March. (00:22:00)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: When Camille checks out Natasha's bank statement (a picture of it, which is kinda odd as you'd expect another file format), it contains amongst many other payments also a cash transfer to Paul Bevans for €10,000, but the subtotals do not reflect that at all (from over 18k Euros goes to 12k). There is also the not negligible detail that her name is misspelled in her own bank account; she is "Natasha Thiebert" but the statement spells it "Tieebert." (00:22:05)

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Other mistake: Camille shows Humph some bank statements. Susie's is unreadable at normal speed, while you can tell that Carl Collins' is a January 2014 statement, and Arnold Finch's is a March 2013 one, not quite comparable nor really making sense being so outdated. His totals don't add up at all, either, supposedly being on the brink of financial ruin but with 12,000 in the account after a positive of 4,000, an in payment of 1,200 and a long series of withdrawals and payments. (00:34:00)

Episode #2.8 - S2-E8

Other mistake: Richard states that all 33 of the prints he recovered from the cash wraps were by the victim, but we see the secretary in flashbacks collect them from the garbage bin with no gloves, which would leave obvious prints that can't be washed away - the presence of prints wouldn't even be all that incriminating per se, since it wouldn't be terribly strange for the personal assistant to momentarily handle some money inside her boss' office.

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the waiting screens in between matches deals with the possibility to collect items "in ability limit break scenarios." There is a schedule specifying the various type of characters those items are designed for, a schedule for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...Sunday and Sunday.

Episode #2.7 - S2-E7

Other mistake: The show, shot in Guadeloupe, part of France, is set in the fictional island of Saint Marie, British overseas territory, with English as official language. When we see the development company sign a big cheque to the local university, it is to the order of University of Guadeloupe (also non-existent, since the university in Guadeloupe would have been in 2012 the University of the French West Indies and Guiana). Incidentally, the document that supposedly incriminating picture (taken at an amazingly public event including giant cardboard fake cheque) is from, is a form about real estate in Nevada. (00:20:50)

Episode #2.7 - S2-E7

Other mistake: Richard does not possess psychic powers, but he grabs from the shelf the one book that is a key plot point; the book is amongst many others in a bookcase full of texts. It does not stick out literally or figuratively in any way and most importantly, it does not feature the professor's name on the spine - that is probably where the issue lies; manufacturing the prop they did not leave any clue about the professor that Richard could have picked up - the name is merely on the front and back. (00:09:50)

Sammo

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Other mistake: Sister Marguerite throughout the whole episode is wearing not very nun-like quantities of lipstick and mascara - especially considering that the head nun is depicted as strict and frowning upon things like chewing-gum.

Sammo

Episode #1.6 - S1-E6

Other mistake: The married couple are penned down on the whiteboard as Alex and Phil Owens, but in the episode credits their last name is Owen. (00:25:45 - 00:52:00)

Sammo

Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Other mistake: A mysterious character breaks into Nadia's house after the police left. He does it by literally punching a hole in the door and reaching for the keys that are in the keyhole, inside. How did the police close the door when they left, if keys are still inside?

Sammo

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Other mistake: An enraged Richard tries to get the drawing board in position making a bit of a ruckus. If you look at the board, it has names and pictures on it; they are from the future, since they are part of the 6th episode, "An Unhelpful Aid", evidently filmed earlier, out of order. (00:07:25)

Sammo

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Other mistake: The body has been completely immersed in the ocean, but it has streams of dried blood on the skin. Moreover, everyone talks about two shots and two wounds, one being a grazing shot that hit him on the left temple, but he has an unexplained gash to the right temple too. (00:14:30)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Other mistake: Fidel reports to his boss, at the station, that the Knights are preparing to leave their house, and Astrid is in fact wheeling the trolley and carrying bags. Somehow, Richard and the others arrive in their Defender before the two have loaded their luggage. Is the police station in their backyard? (00:40:10)

Sammo

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Other mistake: When finally Richard gets the inspiration to crack the case, he grabs the evidence bag with the phone. The label on the bag says it was processed on 2/4/2011, in contrast with the security camera video date, 3/7/2011 (not to mention Richard's alarm clock in the previous episode, 7/2). (00:40:25)

Mr. White Death - S3-E8

Other mistake: During the airport reunion with father and son, there are several boxes of "Cole" brand pineapples...which are just Dole brand pineapples with masking tape put on to alter the letter D to a C. The tape came off one box revealing the original unaltered letter - you can also see it on the side of a box carried by an extra, Cole on the front, but Dole on the side. (00:43:05)

Mixed Doubles - S3-E9

Other mistake: The supposed teen prodigy at the beginning of the episode hits the balls shot by the machine sky-high and off her right. Her coach and mum though are thoroughly impressed. (00:01:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Mixed Doubles - S3-E9

Other mistake: In the study, Phyllis Reardon retorts bitterly at Magnum that he was kissing Ginger 'yesterday'. But they are staying at Robin's nest, and it's impossible that a whole afternoon and night went by without them talking about what happened - including Magnum to Higgins. And the doctor just came to give her a sedative for the shock...or an earlier day? (00:12:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Other mistake: The culprit does not have wounds on their hands, but whoever tampered with the box left blood inside it. If the blood is irrelevant to the case and could have been left by Higgins, then it's unclear why it has an effect on the culprit and make them admit their guilt.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode Magnum has some banter with Higgins, but also needs his help with a tie knot he's clueless about, to the point that he can't even pronounce its name and calls it "double Winslow", with Higgins promptly correcting him. And he's completely useless at doing it. However, in the previous season's episode "The Last Page", Magnum was helping Rick with his tie and giving him expert and sensible advice about it and explicitly referencing the Windsor knot, in fact discussing the merits of the half Windsor.
