Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Character mistake: Diana losing the race is presented by the movie as some sort of a judgement call from her aunt who tackles her as she is about to finish, to punish her for cheating taking a shortcut. "But I would have won!" she cries, and her aunt explains to her that it would have not been right. Simply put...No! That's not the case; the movie itself shows that Diana missed a checkpoint, which are recorded and represented visually in the main stadium by flags being unrolled each time one is reached. She did not take a shortcut, she went through the wrong path. (00:08:05)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: To win the race, the 9 Amazons need to shoot color coded targets from a wheel that has 7 possible 'arrows'. That seems already rather impossible, since the colors are unique to the contestants. Moreover, Diana's color, blue, is consistently on top in the 12 o'clock position, but their rivals' insignia in yellow and red change position, adding an unfair advantage to the heroine, or to be precise, they are at 10 and 2 the first time, 4 and 7 the rest of the time.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: The contest begins with 9 Amazons, but there are only 6 horses on the beach. One could think then that maybe it's an elimination game and it's done on purpose to weed out the slowpokes who finished last the first part of the race. Then again...they race to pick up their bow and arrows from seven racks. (00:03:20)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Continuity mistake: The contest begins and Young Diana is racing with other 8 Amazons. Their first goal is to get to a platform by either climbing ropes or using some mechanical contraption. When you look at the shot when Diana lands on the platform though, it is her, 4 on the ropes and 2 others in the air catapulting themselves on top like she did. That is a total of 7 contestants out of 9, and seems rather unlikely that two of the elite amazon athletes could pull a muscle jogging across the yard, which seems the only reason why they wouldn't be anywhere near the contested spot. Somehow it's again 9 Amazons in the faraway shot of the poles, but only 6 in the shot from the base of the poles. (00:03:45)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Antiope is talking to her as she is getting ready for the contest, behind Young Diana there are a few warriors who walk their horses towards the large portal (that was closed initially and now is open). Their distance from Diana change incoherently between shots, and so do their numbers. Particularly noticeable as Diana gets ready to sprint before the gong; two girls watching and clapping become three talking amongst themselves. (00:03:00)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Continuity mistake: When the Amazonian contestants are lined up, there are 5 other Amazons to the side that are doing some warm up exercises. There are just three when Diana's mother is looking at the arena from her platform. In the same area those three disappear in the aerial shot of the stadium before the race starts, but are there by the 'ref' in the shot from the gong platform. Also, when the athletes sprint there are now a group of two and one of three. (00:02:30)

Love Factory (1964)

Continuity mistake: When the protagonist of the first episode is shown, he's on the phone talking to his lover, alone in the middle of a room. The cable of his phone though comes always from the same direction even when supposedly he is in different, opposite, spots inside the same room. (00:02:50)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of Aiai Liu's flashback, she is on a boat. Fellow prostitute Ping leans forward towards Hua saying he should treat them all fairly. Aiai she is intently cleaning a fingernail in one shot, immediately after she has the same hand placed on her cheek. (00:32:45)

Continuity mistake: When Mariah is talking to the girls on the bridge at the beginning of the movie, the girl in green is holding her leash (her dog's that is) with her right hand in the shots from behind, the left hand in others including the wider ones from the protagonist's height. (00:02:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Masaru falls into the river and Tsubasa follows him getting knee-deep and with socks and shoes on, but the moment they step out of the water both are perfectly dry and have no problem or discomfort at all. (00:07:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: In the Italian dub, Ryo ("Bruce Harper" as he is known in international versions)'s mom yells at him for running away with the football...but Ryo is not carrying any ball. (00:05:05)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Other mistake: Supporters cheer Ishizaki when he is trying to break the birdcage tactic. One of the guys who screams at him though is wearing the "S" jersey Shuutetsu supporters wear. (00:17:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Continuity mistake: When Dex sees "his" son for the first time, the kid in close-ups is playing with the toy that dangles from above, and there's a toy football by him. In the wider angles none of the above is happening. (00:38:40)

Lucky and Zorba (1998)

Continuity mistake: When the two cats move past the yawning rat to go up the crane lifter, the door is shut, but they slip into its semi-opened door when they reach the platform in the next shot. (00:06:05)

Lucky and Zorba (1998)

Other mistake: The color of the buttons described by Diderot (and as it can be seen on the schematics he's holding) does not match the actual control panel of the crane. (00:05:00 - 00:06:40)
