Continuity mistake: Tuba beats up the unarmed crazy guy. Meanwhile, the one with the cleaver pins Cheung down and threatens to chop him. In the shots with the camera to Cheung's left, the broken vase is gone from the hood of the car, and is still there in the others. (00:42:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Tuba receives a call for the disturbance at the asylum. Cheung runs to the crime scene first. There are two girls to his left that point at the scene; in the opening shot they run off instantly, in fact facing away from it, but in the front view they are still there pointing - both times Cheung goes past them. (00:41:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Rambo disposed of the underlings, but a stronger opponent shows up. He sends Rambo reeling back against some drums, and raises his leg. In the next shot, his heel kick hits the drum, but A) the drum is not the same B) the distance is wrong, and judging by the first shot he would have dropped the heel on Rambo with no problems. (00:32:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Rambo and Cheung sit down to begin explaining Tuba the situation, the lid on the instant noodles cup closes slightly on the second shot. (00:22:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In her first scene at the store, Joanne wears a sweater tied on her front. When she looks at Tuba picking cereals, it is tied in a different way compared to the rest of the scene (the sleeves are evenly matched, while elsewhere one is very short). (00:18:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Scene with the new store manager and love interest; Tuba pantomimes 'testing the water in the shower'. He puts his hands in his pocket when he realises that someone is glaring; that's in the first shot, because his hand is frozen in mid-air in the next shot instead. (00:18:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the assignment officer puts the papers inside Cheung's holster, he reaches for the holster (and grabs it) twice. (00:14:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Tuba's story about the folk-dancing at the funeral becomes exponentially more ridiculous, the man in the pink shirt tries to convince his wife, but there's a clear lack of continuity in his movements between the various cuts. (00:11:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Tuba's poor friend protests because his pretend-folk-dancing has been overlooked, the pretend-fisherman is suddenly fishing with his chopsticks in his bowl, while he was not doing anything a moment earlier. (00:10:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Tuba's friend drops the strainer to have a quick exchange under the table, the strainer falls next to the table's leg, but the unattractive girl picks it up from Tuba's left (the leg is at his right). (00:09:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the van crashes into the stage at the marathon, the crash happens in two separate takes, as you can see by the position of the guy in a light blue jacket, who dodges the incoming vehicle with radically different timing in the two shots. (00:03:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the wild stun where Rambo Chow jumps through the cracked windshield into the moving van, in the first take the stuntman doesn't quite land right into the windshield (in fact he hits the frame in a way that could possibly break a hip) and his body bends awkwardly, but in the next shot you see him slide in smoothly. (00:03:15)

Lust Theory

Continuity mistake: At the end of dinner, Jessica is busy texting; in front of her there are still plates and towels in close-up but in the wide shots of the room the table she is sitting at is clean already.

Dio to no seishun - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The window frame is broken in different points throughout the episode. For instance, when Dio pops open the head of the constable, he lands on the frame completely devoid of any sharp part, while a moment before it had two wooden pieces sticking out.

Sammo

Kako kara no tegami - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Dio is gloating thinking that JoJo probably got himself killed in Ogre Street already. A crowd of disreputable individuals zombie-walks towards him; one of the guys in front has some sort of scythe that he holds in opposite directions when we switch to the reverse angle. (00:15:55)

Sammo

Dio the Invader - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Dio gets in front of Erina Pendleton that is heading back home. She spots him and her left-hand drops, but she again holds it high in front of her mouth in the next shot. (00:15:10)
