Other mistake: Augustina approaches "Bill at the bar. The bar's clock shows it's 9:12. The two go on to talk for over 2 minutes of real time, and she says "it was so 10 minutes ago" when he quotes an earlier bit of the conversation; no matter how much time it passed, the clock did not advance. (00:02:10 - 00:04:10)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Other mistake: The police is searching the crime scene of the supposed suicide. The police was alerted because the suicide happened by drowning, leaving the bathtub running till it overflew alerting the other people in the building. The body of the victim is still completely immersed in the bathtub (nobody drained it), and Kindaichi and Aoi walk on a dry floor while there should be a massive flooding.

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22

Other mistake: When Kindaichi shows his phone with the incriminating evidence, the phone's charge is at 60%, exactly the same charge it had last time we saw the same phone screenshot for the same purpose in the previous episode. Mere minutes later for the bathtub demonstration Miyuki calls him and the phone is charged at 80%. (00:07:50)

Alligator (1980)

Other mistake: When Henry Silva is trapped in the jaws of the animal and screams asking for help from his indigenous sidekick, the beast is hardly crushing his body, more like holding it in place with no damage to his clothes or blood, and then turns it around between shots. (01:06:00)

Alligator (1980)

Other mistake: The alligator baits Col. Brock through a feat of chinese shadow puppetry certainly quite unlikely for the intelligence shown in the rest of the movie, and inconsistent with the movements he's capable of, not to mention the fact that he would have needed to perfectly abscond covering himself in trash bags super-fast, flawlessly, silently. (01:05:00)

Alligator (1980)

Other mistake: David is trying to locate the beast through a map of the city - for some reason, since he already located it before. Problem is, the movie is set in Missouri but the map he's looking at on his bed is a map of Los Angeles (you can even read "Granada Hills"). Similar mistake a few minutes later in front of the sewers; you can easily read "Monterey Park" to the right of a different map he props against the wall. (00:37:15 - 00:38:35)

Scream 3 (2000)

Other mistake: June 28 was a Monday in 1999. Jenny McCarthy was killed the day before, so on a Sunday. The scene takes places the evening (there's sunlight when it begins) after the night scene with Sidney; it is however uncertain if it is actually supposed to be the same day, or the day before, a Saturday. Therefore, Cotton, murdered a day earlier, was killed on either a Friday or a Saturday, but when he was killed there was a promo on TV about "tomorrow's" episode of his talk show, which is on during weekdays and so wouldn't be on for the weekend.

Scream 3 (2000)

Other mistake: You can read the date of the event at Jennifer's house on the fax; it's June 28 1999. However, if you look at the director's office in the scene with Sarah, June was a very light month with according to the post-its mostly scouting for locations and such, and no shoots were scheduled in that month, as opposed to August that is full of those. All the previous scenes at the studio involved the actors on set for their scenes, and the news voiceover says that Cotton shot his cameo role the day he was killed.

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Other mistake: In this episode, we learn that Kindaichi can't swim. However, the series is a continuation of the first one from 1997: in a few instances (the Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case, The Kidnapping of Reika Hayami Murder Case, with Reika appearing as a key character here) Kindaichi could swim just fine and in fact would bravely dive in the ocean to save someone and swim downstream in a mountain river when gravely injured, respectively.

Lupin the 3rd (1971)

Farewell My Beloved Witch - S1-E3

Other mistake: The professor gets killed by Stern's machine gun, but he was inside the plane and the plane suffers not a single bit of damage. A stray bullet can go anywhere, but at least one of the other bullets should have hit the fuselage.

Lupin the 3rd (1971)

Farewell My Beloved Witch - S1-E3

Other mistake: In the first part of the episode, the Third Sun is purple when in the hand of the characters in close-up, and pink in the field. Different shades of pink, some quite dark, but never the same shade as the close-ups or even close.

The Man They Called a Magician - S1-E2

Other mistake: Despite falling unconscious at the bottom of the sea in his car and being rescued by Jigen, with Pycal within range since he got out of the car at the last moment, somehow Lupin gets to Pycal's home before he does, setting up a bunch of tricks in advance too.

ENF Novels: Dress Code

ENF Novels: Dress Code mistake picture

Other mistake: In Abby's scene when she is required to bring refreshments to the meeting room, all the drama happens because there's a chair blocking her way to the left of the table. Any sane person would just walk to the right of the table. She has all the space in the world to do that, but the plot to work she appears to be unironically too stupid to even consider the possibility. She also has room to put the tray down without moving a step. (also, as a bonus, the hand of one of the guests is embedded inside the table, just the thumb sticking out).

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Other mistake: When Mr. Bianchetti gives the approval to Brigitte's plan, he replies "can be done", with no capitalization (it's like a line or a few words are missing).
