The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Tintin and Snowy are walking to Thomson and Thompson's office and Tintin is shown saying to Snowy "Come on, Snowy. The Thompsons are waiting for us." In this shot, there is a wooden fence located next to them that is a very pale beige color. In the next shot, from a close-up of Snowy, they are now standing next to a fence that is a very bright brown color. (00:02:40)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After the three Karaboudjan members begin to approach Daws, Kuraki then takes out his gun and says "Follow me." Kuraki then begins to leave the shot. He has a black mustache, but just as he almost leaves the shot, his mustache temporarily becomes flesh colored for a brief frame. (00:02:10)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: When the three Karaboudjan members go to approach Daws, we see Daws go to clench the wrapper he had written "Karaboudjan" on and then throws the Crabe Extra tin in the box nearby. In the shot where one of them says "You disappoint us, Daws", as they first appear, we can see Daws is standing in front of the box, yet as Daws actually goes to throw the tin in the box, he throws it forwards, which from that position meant, could not have possibly landed in the box. It would have landed far in front of the box, rather than actually in it. (00:02:05)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Daws has finished writing "Karaboudjan" on the wrapper, three of the Karaboudjan crew members appear in an attempt to kill him. Daws then clenches the wrapper and places it in his pocket. In this shot, only half of the image of then crab on the Crabe Extra tin is shown due to Daws ripping off part the wrapper a few seconds prior. As soon as Daws throws the tin in the box, part of the crab's claws have suddenly appeared at the other end of the tear. (00:02:05)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Daws and Kuraki, Kuraki tells Daws to tell him about the Karaboudjan and Daws then tears off part of the Crabe Extra wrapper and begins to write "Karaboudjan" on the wrapper. In this shot, the edge of the split in the tear on the Crabe Extra tin is located between the words "Crabe" and "Extra." When Daws throws the tin in the bin, the edge of the split in the tear is now located between the "A" and the "B" in "Crabe." (00:01:55)

Plot hole: Trevor Phillips Industries: After arriving at the Meth Lab, Trevor tricks Mr. Cheng and his translator into entering an ice freezer. The translator then asks for Trevor to let him out and starts banging on the door. Trevor never locked the door and there is nothing restraining the door as Trevor had just opened it a second ago, so the translator could have simply just pushed the door open if he wanted to exit the ice freezer.

Character mistake: When Franklin is at the strip club and is being given a lap dance in the private room, Franklin can flirt with the stripper. The fourth thing Franklin says to flirt with her is that he loves her tattoos, even if the stripper giving him the lap dance doesn't have any tattoos.

Plot hole: Marriage Counselling: Michael destroys Martin Madrazo's girlfriend's house, believing it to be owned by the tennis coach. Within the 0.6 mile drive back to Michael's house, Madrazo's henchmen are suddenly firing on Michael and Franklin because Michael destroyed the house. Even Madrazo's girlfriend's told Madrazo about the incident, there should still be no way for Madrazo to know what Franklin or Michael looked like, track down their location or find them that quickly.
Suggested correction: Although Madrazo would have had to have had men very close by for it to be possible he could have found out about Michael from the tennis instructor.
Even if Madrazo was told about Michael and Franklin by someone in or near his house, the amount of time it takes for them to reach him is far too quick. They find him around a minute or two after driving away from the house, and they had no way of knowing which direction he will be going in. This is far too unlikely, as it is far too quick after destroying the house for Madrazo to have tracked down and found Michael's location.

Continuity mistake: Repossession: Franklin and Lamar must chase down a man who stole their bike in their car. One of the ways they can stop this man is by running him over with the car. Once Franklin goes back for the bike, the body of the man is nowhere in sight. This only applies as long as the thief had been run over with the car.
31st Jul 2015
Other mistake: Franklin and Lamar: Franklin and Lamar begin by entering two cars: a red car and a white car. If Franklin gets in the red car, then Lamar will get in the white car. As Lamar enters the white car, he is never shown pulling a handle. He is just miming the actions of pulling a handle and the car door just opens.

After many years have passed and sinks into the ocean, it can be seen the trees and forests have now gone. However, after he spews out of the ocean and is together with the female volcano, the male volcano suddenly has trees and forests around him again.

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In order for Daws to tell Kuraki about the Karaboudjan, he tears off part of the wrapper from the Crabe Extra tin. The style of the tear changes constantly throughout this scene. The tear in the tin starts out as a tear with various ridges in the tearing. A further two shots later, the part of the tear near the end is now a lot shorter. Then a further three shots after this, the ridges in the tear have now became visibly smoother. Then when Daws chucks the can in the box, it is now just a simple tear through the wrapper. (00:01:55)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Daws takes the Crabe Extra tin out of his pocket, we can see that the tin is almost completely open and the very edge of the lid is located on the right hand side of the tin. After Daws has torn off part of the wrapper and written Karaboudjan on it, three bad guys appear out of nowhere and Daws throws the can in the box, the very edge of the lid on the can is now located on the left hand side of the tin. (00:01:45)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: The Crabe Extra tin Daws had stuffed in his pocket is about four to five inches long, possibly more and the tin has been opened, increasing the length another two inches, and Daws still had to stuff his whole hand and whole wrist into his pocket and keep moving it around to retrieve the tin. If anything, he'd be lucky enough to have fit the tin in his pocket anyway. (00:01:45)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Daws walks up to Kuraki, Kuraki asks Daws that if he got the Crabe Extra tin. At this moment, Kuraki's face looks seemingly normal and perfectly fine. The shot then cuts over to Daws taking out the Crabe Extra tin from his pocket, but when the shot cuts back over to Kuraki, his face is suddenly a lot paler. (00:01:40)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog and Daws is shown to be noticing this from the other side of the street. As soon as he finishes walking out of the fog cloud, he is shown to be standing right next to a lamp post and continues on walking. In the following shot after, that shows Daws looking at him, at least 2 - 3 steps are heard from Kuraki walking, but when the shot cuts back to Kuraki, he is still standing next to the lamp post. (00:01:30)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Kuraki walks through the cloud of fog, Daws is shown hiding behind a building. In the big close-up shot of Daws looking of the street, Daws is shown to be tugging onto the collar on his coat and pulling it forward. In the sudden shot afterwards, that shows the camera behind Daws, the collar on his coat is suddenly sitting there freely, not being tugged on at all. (00:01:30)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When Daws is waiting behind the building for Kuraki to arrive, Kuraki is shown appearing in the shot by dramatically walking through a cloud of fog on the streets. As he begins to walk through the fog, it is very visible that his legs are transparent. (00:01:25)
