Character mistake: Rick reveals Magnum that a certain person committed "security fraud." That'd be securitIES fraud. (00:40:20)

Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Character mistake: Kiki says "Oh! He stopped bleeding" when he is in fact still bleeding from the other wrist. (00:10:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Character mistake: Rick describes to his buddies the kidnapper's car as "a yellow Bronco." It's a jeep and it's orange/brown with a white roof. The description is so off that it's a miracle they found it to begin with. (00:16:10)

Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones
Character mistake: In the arcade version, before entering the door with the three stones, Hiruko says "There is a secret hidden beneath HEAR, go."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Character mistake: At the station after the release of the first suspect, Kelly does the good cop routine and apologizes for his Sergeant, saying he does not like a private eye telling him how to do his job. Magnum 99% of the time during the show corrects people saying "private eye" with "private investigator", but here, he does not. (00:16:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, the cop reads the culprit his right, twists his arm and exits stage left with him. But 'left' happens to be towards the ocean, away from the patrol car. He also leaves the gun behind, lying in the sand. Worst cop ever. (00:47:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Sitting at the club's beach bar, when TC urges him to give him the rest of the money Rick says "eighty" when he is in fact giving at least the 9th 10 dollars bill. (00:16:20)

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the second Hell that Shaka puts in front of Ikki, he mentions "They are consumed their by hunger and greed", inverting two words.
17th May 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the Human Realm on his way to face Virgo, Ikki meets Shun who tells him "I hope you can break through the rest on your", missing the word "own."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: When Magnum looks at the pictures Higgins gave him, he sees one with a flare that will require him to ask Higgins to do some movie photography magic to remove it. However next to it there's a picture with just a slight less zoom that has no such flare. Magnum for no reason entirely ignores it while he only needed to grab a magnifying glass instead of begging Higgins and wait for the film to be developed again. (00:29:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins holds his glass of brandy with Magnum's photos in the other hand and says "I don't know if you're pulling my leg, as you Yanks put it." It's really not an exclusively or typically US expression; in fact it originated in England. (00:27:35)
15th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Magnum and Billy Joe Bob face one of Ito's goons. The guy is supposed to be competent with nunchakus, but he simply waves it around with no skill and in the close-up of his warrior yell, he strikes a pose with it but you can see at the bottom of the frame he misses the catch and does not grab the other stick. Obviously the extra was hired simply because of the looks and ethnicity but had never used this goon's supposed weapon of choice before. (00:24:55)
15th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: When Magnum parks the car in front of the Kahala Towers, the word "parks" has to be used very loosely; the car stops on the left side and at little distance from another car on the right, effectively blocking the whole road. And that is in a moment of total quiet, not rushing out of the car to save a baby or something like that. Whoever parks their car like that deserves to be shot on sight. (00:12:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9
Character mistake: When Black Dragon visualizes himself dealing a mighty blow to Shiryu, the Bronze Saint is wearing two Dragon Shields instead of one. (00:22:10)
13th May 2020
Saint Seiya (1986)
Taose! Ankoku Phoenix gundan - S1-E8
Character mistake: In the sequence with Ikki's Shadows jumping over the lifting bridge, the first one is not wearing the visor they all have to wear. (00:05:00)
13th May 2020
Saint Seiya (1986)
Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6
Character mistake: When Jabu gets maimed by the Nebula Chain attacking from above, the commentator says "One point for Andromeda Shun." Points? There never were points during the previous fights. (00:11:05)

Pro Wrestling
Character mistake: Great Puma's fighting words are "You've got to GET PASSED ME before you can call yourself a champion!"

Saint Seiya (1986)
Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4
Character mistake: Shun says explicitly that a Saint's body is no different from any ordinary human's. That's quite funny, considering that in the previous episode Hyoga fought creating temperatures of -100 °C (consistently, to defend himself, and aggressively to freeze Ichi), which would have messed up really badly both contestants.

Saint Seiya (1986)
Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4
Character mistake: The announces during the fight says that the tournament is "down to 10 Saints", but 10 was the starting number, 3 have been already eliminated. (00:04:30)
10th May 2020
Bleach: Immortal Soul
Character mistake: During the intro, Rukia says, referring to the Hollow's sound "I can hear it's loudass voice." Unnecessary vulgarness aside, it's "its", not "it's."
