Web of Death - S1-E2
Other mistake: Ferro shoots the victim from the front with precision "between the eyes," as stated, killing him instantaneously. However, the body is face down, totally straight, and facing completely away from the door. (00:06:00)
4th Oct 2023
Other mistake: One of the slip-ups that incriminate Redd White involves the way the victim died. Phoenix points it out, saying, "The victim died from a 'single' blow!" Using quotation marks for "single." The autopsy report, though, does not literally say "single," but just that died from "a blow" without ruling others out. If this seems minor, consider that the Trilogy remake feels the need to remove the quotation marks, obviously because it was not quoting the in-game text of the autopsy report, which was much more vague.
4th Oct 2023
Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, there are a few sequences with police cars going at notable speed down the streets of New York. In a few instances, you can see people gathered in street corners, looking at the filming. One egregious example is when the criminals loading the van are startled by the sirens. In the following shot, two bystanders look at the car, then turn towards the camera, and one even takes a few steps back to get out of frame. (00:03:40)
3rd Oct 2023
Other mistake: Poirot receives a box of chocolates when he's home, then goes out shopping for eggs with the same box in hand, and in the next scene he's back home, having breakfast with the eggs. There's no apparent reason for this behaviour; who goes out for an errand bringing along a sealed box they just received?
2nd Oct 2023
Other mistake: In the introduction of the game, Poirot reads the letter he receives from ABC. He reads it slowly and carefully to Hastings. It says, just to quote some of it: "You fancy yourself, don't you, at solving mysteries that are too difficult for our thick-headed British police? Let us see, Mr. Clever Poirot, just how clever you are. Maybe you will find this case a nut too tough to crack." Then he puts the letter on the table as the credits roll. The text on the letter is entirely different. ("I've heard that you are very good at solving problems which are too subtle for our poor British police officers and their slow minds. So, clever clogs, we are going to put you to the test.") Funnily enough, the first one, more concise and clearer, is the ACTUAL Agatha Christie novel version, it's not even a choice made to speed up the dialogue for a quicker pacing of the scene.
22nd Sep 2023
Other mistake: The opening montage shows the news story of the kidnapping of the Armstrong child unfold through newspaper articles. The kidnapping takes place in April 1930, but next to the headline of The Police Gazette about the getaway car, you can read a headline (incidentally, from a magazine with the name of the victim in place of the publication's name) that says "Snow-covered Rocky Mountain states feel first winter blasts." First winter blasts, in April. (00:03:45)
11th Jul 2023
Other mistake: In Tangiers, Indy's cab pulls over in front of the mob-owned hotel where the famous illegal auction is taking place. It's dark outside, but when we see Indy in the hotel, and more evidently when they get out of the hotel and the car chase starts in the span of 5 minutes, it's broad daylight. That also means that just before 6 AM (when dawn would take place in August), the hotel is chock full of normal people boozing, playing cards, plus an assembly of rich baddies from all over the world who just happen to wait to have an auction.
12th Jan 2023
Other mistake: Miles explains the presence of the white bracelets that the Efficient Man slapped on their wrists as biorhythm monitors that act as keys for their room, each assigned to a chakra. Blanc's presence was not expected or announced, but not only Ethan Hawke had an unexplained spare bracelet, but he is also assigned a room, when there are 7 chakras and he brings the guest count to 8. It should also be noted that supposedly they are the "key" to each room, and yet Andi comes and goes from them as it pleases her (ironically the very sort of mistake that birthed the term "Fridge logic") and nobody wears them for the rest of the movie at all because the gag ran its course.
9th Jan 2023
Other mistake: In the original version and in the flashback, Benoit Blanc's delivers the lines about the "loaded gun on the table" in a different way and gestures differently throughout it. (01:56:10)
9th Jan 2023
Other mistake: During the first part of the movie, the Mona Lisa shield is triggered by all sorts of acute sound; phone alerts, speaking too loudly. Somehow it is also never released (one wonders how can it detect when the threat is over). At any rate, after the gag has run its course, in the third act the protection is not triggered anymore except when the plot makes it convenient (the lighter). (01:57:40)
9th Jan 2023
Other mistake: In the close-up of the article about Andi's death (the second time we see it, during the denouement, since the first time when Helen sees it the framing is too tight to notice), her full name (Cassandra) is misspelled in the body of the article ("Casandra"). It also mentions her sister Helen; if her identity is so well known and accessible, considering how high profile the trial was, it's borderline insane that nobody would know about her; the media would have been all over her. (01:54:00)
9th Jan 2023
Other mistake: The way Helen and Blanc clash into each other during the blackout differs radically between the first time and the lengthy flashback; in the flashback she is calling his name, and he tells her "There's great danger." Neither happened the first time we saw the scene. (01:07:00 - 01:43:20)
9th Jan 2023
Other mistake: When Blanc points at the fax machine in the mansion, it is printing its journal. The dates shown are from September and October, while the movie takes place in May. (00:30:55)
8th Jan 2023
Other mistake: Claire Debella reacts to the biorhythm bracelet buzzing at her wrist. You can see that her wristwatch is set at 7 when it's supposed to be early afternoon at most. We can theorize that maybe she did not adjust the time to Greece and her wristwatch is still on Connecticut time, making it 2 pm in Greece, but it still wouldn't be right, since Daniel Craig was checking the time at the beginning of the dock scene and it was 10 am, and the ship sailed for 2 hours. (00:13:20 - 00:23:40)
8th Jan 2023
Other mistake: When Benoit and Andi have their little chat on the beach by the pile of bags, they do it under a stealthy pretense. However, nobody can overhear them, and they have a good reason to exchange a couple of words, while they show later in the movie no fear of being eavesdropped on even in their room and in places like the bathroom or the gym who could very well be bugged or have cameras, as opposed to an open and deserted beach. In a flashback we even see them hanging out at the hotel together, exchanging information that reasonably they needed to sort out back in the States. (00:22:35 - 01:12:45)
8th Jan 2023
Other mistake: When the four 'Disruptors' that stayed buddies solve all the puzzles, they retrieve the invitation from an intricate miniature Glass Onion at the center of the box. When we see the mysterious outcast break the box open, she gets the card from a compartment on the side. While we are not privy to the inner workings of the mechanism, that's obviously not where it was supposed to be. (00:11:00)
6th Jan 2023
Other mistake: When you are free to roam the sorority house, the texture used to represent the window in the kitchen is completely pixelated and out of perspective, in contrast with the average of the game that has overall fairly convincing representations.
19th Nov 2022
Other mistake: In the dispatch mission "A Life's Vow", Tobia teams up with a federation soldier, called "Federation soldier." One of his lines says "I know the visor's kinda in the way, but I've got red eyes." But we can see his eyes perfectly fine, and they are not red, not even a tinge! There are many other times when the game has overlays / alternative versions of portraits, this is kinda egregious of a miss.
19th Nov 2022
Other mistake: In the last scene at the airport, extras get reused - for instance, when she says "I promise..." a guy with a loud teal T-shirt, dragging a little trolley, walks by her. The commissioner offers to give her a ride, and the same guy is walking in the opposite direction. (01:20:50)
13th Nov 2022
Other mistake: One of Professor Wolfgang's lines when he is defeated by MITO's unit is "Why! Why must I ALWAYS lose to Mightgaine." The problem is, they left it in the pool of lines he can say also in the very first mission Maito appears in, when by the other lines of dialogue through the mission it's implied that they never met before.
