The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi tries to escape and Miyuki stops him in his tracks exposing the reason why he's leaving, the cup in front of her is positioned with the handle facing right. When we see the cup again, it faces the opposite direction. (00:21:20)

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 2 - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, number and position of the airplane windows vary. You don't have to freeze-frame and count them; a cursory look at the door at the center of the plane is enough. The way the windows by it are grouped together changes in number and the door is sometimes at the end of the line, sometimes in the middle of it.

Continuity mistake: Julia is apparently being helpful towards the stranger at the door. She is taking notes as he says his name and auto club card number. She is casting a visible shadow on the door, entirely gone in the close-up of the door itself. (00:08:15)

Betterman (1999)

Voice - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the break room, the poster with the beer shows a mug with a really tiny handle that touches the clouds at the horizon in some shot, and does not in others. (00:14:15)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The first minutes of the episode are a dream sequence and normal logic may not apply. However, when Miyuki disappears, her drink is still there in the first shot, gone from the table in the wide shot, it is there again in close-up. That seems like an ordinary mistake, it's not as if Kindaichi is noticing Miyuki's disappearance AND a ghost lemonade mysteriously blinking in and out of existence. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: During the crescendo and ending of "Gotta stop that man", the towel rests on Finch's upper arm and shoulder differently in different shots.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Arashi pulls over in the street where the research station is. The car stops a few meters after the turn, but when it's shown again, it's much further into the street. (00:06:15 - 00:06:50)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: When Bette Davis' character bids farewell saying that the place resembles a mortuary, Maggie Smith next to her holds her bag to her chest, but in the next shot she is also holding her suitcase with the same hand. (02:16:40)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: The streak of blood on Simon's neck changes from the first time we see it to the time when the second gunshot is fired. (02:15:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ponty rebuffs Hedy's offer and says "Rosemary's going to be my secretary" holding her by the bare upper arms in the first shot, her sleeves in the next. (01:24:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the rooftop party, the president tells the other executives that the boy is "loaded with ideas"; rather obvious continuity mistake when you look at the man on the far left, who in one shot is drinking and in the next is not. (01:15:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Finch is spying Mr. Ovington; between shots the position of his brush is inconsistent and there are obvious variations in the soaped up part of the window. (01:11:40)
