The Adventure of the Cheap Flat - S2-E7
Character mistake: Bernie Cole "King of the clubs" greets Miss Lemon and tells her she'll find Elsa "Straight down the corridor, second on the left." So she opens the second door...on the right. And it's the correct one. (00:30:50)
2nd Oct 2019
Character mistake: One of the cutscenes of the game happens between the 5th and 6th round, Hwa Jai and Raiden. Geese, the main villain, botches the name of his henchman saying "Riden." (Fixed in the SNES and Genesis version, still in the various versions on Playstation).
1st Oct 2019
Character mistake: Gail reads right through Katie's poor excuse about crotcheting, and says she won't go to the ball "after what you pulled today with Guy." She did not do it (well she didn't do anything, but 'supposedly did') today, but yesterday. (00:31:00)
1st Oct 2019
Character mistake: In the hotel lobby, Poirot, indignant of Hastings' attitude towards the murder case, says "After three attempts had been made at the life of M. Nick, Poirot gave his word he would protect her." But he did that after four attempts; Nick already avoided 3 "mysterious accidents" (painting, car, boulder) and Poirot witnessed the 4th, the bullet that pulled him into the whole case to begin with. (01:02:20)
1st Oct 2019
Character mistake: Nikolai is driving Anna home after the bike went kaputt in the rain, outside the restaurant. Anna towards the end tells him to "take the next right." Both Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen are looking left, and keep their eyes there. (00:28:25)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Character mistake: The magician's assistant wears a costume that leaves her legs exposed, and the costume itself vanishes. The trick can't go as Poirot describes to Hastings and Japp (and it is made with a TV editing trick). (00:07:05)
30th Sep 2019
Character mistake: The notice of hold for the check says it's from the Southern Grand Caymen Bank. I wouldn't trust a bank that can't spell the name of the country it is in (Cayman Islands). (00:57:50)
24th Sep 2019
Character mistake: The protagonist at the beginning of the movie is cleaning his own apartment when Kirkeby returns for the missing galoshes of his lady companion. Kirkeby searches a chair, looking also down on the floor to the side of it, turns around and looks up the other one and then back towards the starting point. He picks the galoshes a few seconds later finding them in a spot where he supposedly has looked already almost all the time (the actor just pretended to look). (00:06:40)
21st Sep 2019
Character mistake: At the very end of the movie, Jack Lemmon begins dealing cards for the gin rummy, but he deals about 14 cards before the fade to black, in a 10 cards game. (01:59:45)
21st Sep 2019
Character mistake: Mr. Lucas got himself in an embarrassing situation 'straightening the seams' of Mrs. Slocombe. Humphries passes by saving him by telling him that Mr. Granger wanted to talk to him, but he does it by saying "Griffin wants you." Wrong name. (00:07:45)
20th Sep 2019
Character mistake: During her initial monologue, Katherine Newbury does the obligatory joke a 'foreign' host would make, rethorically asking where the good 'murican hosts are instead. Doing so, she mentions Martin Short, Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin. However, Martin Short is a bad example in the context of the joke, being Canadian-born.
19th Sep 2019
Character mistake: Breaking the news of war to the Sayers, Allnut tells them that the war is involving smaller nations like "Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Spain." Spain was not amongst the participants of WW1. (00:10:00)
19th Sep 2019
Character mistake: As Poirot reconstructs the facts in the flat (and he explicitly says "consider the FACTS"), he lays out that "a letter which was found at the scene of the crime with John Frazer written on the bottom." But the letter simply said "Frazer", the first name was just Japp's random conjecture based on the initials on another evidence being J.F. (00:27:40)

The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3
Character mistake: Contrary to the short story, here Mr. Waverly consults Poirot not accompanied by his wife, and by his own initiative without even telling her at first. Given the solution of the case, this appears to be completely illogical.
19th Sep 2019
The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3
Character mistake: When the ever gallant Poirot meets Mrs. Waverly, David Suchet hesitates for a second awkwardly as he mistakenly went for a handshake when Julia Chambers offered him a limp downturned hand instead. Not quite the kind of social faux pas Poirot would be caught into. (00:11:55)
18th Sep 2019
Character mistake: When we see the relative positions Eddie and Johnny have, Eddie appears to be the one that should have done the signaling to the patrol car instead. (00:55:40)
12th Sep 2019
Character mistake: When Hugh is talking with Dot making up a letter as he goes, he says that he's been going out with a wonderful girl for "nearly 6 months." This episode takes place merely a day after the previous, which was set in October. The first episodes when Dot and Hugh could start being called an item were set in August. That is nowhere near 6 months. (00:23:00)
12th Sep 2019
Character mistake: Striking conversation with the inspector, Miss Fisher asks him if he's still thinking about when he kissed her 'the other night'. The kiss happened in the previous episode during a police operation happening at 3 PM. Hardly "the other night." (00:06:40)
7th Sep 2019
Ruddy Gore - S1-E6
Character mistake: The general idea in the first part of the scene with Dot and Miss Fisher at the balcony would be that she is so flustered by the handsome actor, she was wearing her binoculars backwards. But Ashleigh Cummings is in fact at first looking through the binoculars the proper way, then turns them around, and puts them the wrong way. (00:05:00)
7th Sep 2019
Character mistake: Somehow, Poirot is the first person to get to the basement - he obviously would have slowed down terribly the policeman and the young and spry Jimmy rushing down the stairs with him.
