Don't Kill It (2016)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the hunter is looking for his dog. The rifle on his shoulder keeps changing position, being upside down or not - which is easy to spot because of the big scope. (00:01:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Tsubasa's dad spurs him before the second half telling him that he hates losers, there are trees in the background. He is in the stadium with everyone else. (00:19:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Masaru parries with his face the shot that beat the keeper. He does so being close to the left post, but when the scene is over he's in the middle of the goal. (00:09:40)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: Masaru apologizes for the blunder (he butted heads with a teammate). Tsubasa cheers the rest of the team; look at the goalkeeper. He's wearing the same uniform as the rest of the players instead of his red jersey. (00:08:05)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Character mistake: Tsubasa takes part in the 200m dash because, as Ryo says "the runner of our team got injured." The runner? There are many athletes taking part in the contest, but both come from just 2 teams. Also needless to say, the race would have also been invalidated, and yet Tsubasa who showed up with no permission and kicking a ball is proclaimed the winner. (00:07:25)

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Stupidity: Bill Burr tells Mando off for using his little blaster pistol next to the cargo (he was nowhere near, actually), but greets with jubilant cheers the TIE fighters cannoning right next to them. Likewise, it's incomprehensible with a material of such volatility why the locals, who have abundance of thermal detonators, don't just toss them like they do in their last ditch attack (they are magnetic) or for that matter why at all the Empire uses land trucks to transport them, in a world with freely available and cheap hover technology.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Plot hole: The Imperial terminals have facial scan recognition...or just facial scan, really, since ANYONE regardless of being part of the army or not can just access any information of any level, as long as they have ANY face that the app can scan and identify as not being a known criminal.

Suggested correction: The facial scan prevents droids from stealing data from terminals.

And also criminals from doing that. It runs a check, as I said in the entry. Against "Any New Republic registry", even, which should disqualify also Mayfeld being a convicted felon, but that's another issue. Who designs a security system that does complex checks about who is a wanted criminal or part of 'the other side' but does not check if you are part of their side? Also, any low level trooper (or nobody, even the janitor) can just access any information of any level, including the location of their special forces cruiser.

Sammo

Maybe it just checks if you're human. You never see non-humans as part of the empire. A lot of non-humans are as "subspecies" by the empire.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Mando faces the third wave of marauders on top of the truck, he punches the first one in the gut after dodging his assault. He disarms the second one, then turn towards the first, that is already weaponless and reeling without having been hit (he was hit in the stomach as he was running past Mando, he wouldn't be facing him standing, some of the fight must have been cut). (00:16:30)

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Other mistake: Before the tunnel the truck drivers communicated with the base, and the base itself is warning another vehicle about their speed. Despite this level of monitoring, the heroes board the truck taking their sweet time to change in suits and have friendly banter. Considering the convoys are attacked frequently by terrorists, it's hard to imagine that a large discrepancy of that kind would have stayed unchecked.

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Plot hole: Mando's ship was completely wrecked, but two mechanics fixed it to top performance level and aesthetic pleasantness in a time shorter than it took for the Child to eat a small packet of macaroons.

Sammo

Suggested correction: His ship was badly damaged, but mostly repaired by the Mon Calamari. The remaining repair work was less complex, but still took place over the course of several days. A space-faring civilisation being able to repair a damaged ship is not a plot hole.

His ship is literally falling apart (we see pieces falling off as it moves), the engines are barely functioning and looks like hell. It's not at all a mistake that a "space-faring civilization" is "able to repair a damaged ship", it is when the editing of an episode makes it look like two dudes fixed to pristine condition a wreckage in the same time it takes for a kid to munch his cookies.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Stupidity: Why would anyone put the controls for the reactor of the power station on a tiny circular ledge with no railings over a precipice overlooking a sea of lava? What sort of possible practical purpose would such a device have? It's not about the evil Empire cutting some corners and not caring for safety measures; here they had to consciously build a platform outside the rest of the structure, in a really impractical and dangerous position, that could get their own technicians killed anytime when they perform their routine duties on a curved surface barely wide as their feet.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: In the little scene inside the school when Carl Weathers sits the muppet at the desk, the kid extras are not exactly the most disciplined extras available and their positions and what they do change between shots. Examples; look at the Asian kid who is looking at Baby Yoda in a shot and in the next is busy reading her board, or the two girls who talk to each other and point in the first shot, whisper more discreetly in the second. (00:09:05)

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Stupidity: In this episode, Mando tells Kuil to go to the ship and enable "ground security protocol", saying that nothing on the planet will breach the doors. That begs the question; if the ship has such a function, why on Earth Mando did not enable it in the first episode, leaving the ship entirely vulnerable? He's been on the run ever since so it's pretty unlikely to say the least that he'd have such a function enabled just lately, in particular since he has always worked on worlds with Jawas and other kinds of raiders. In the rest of the show, Mando leaves his ship wide open all the time, causing all sorts of problems.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: There's some sleight of hand involved when Cara gets her cup of tea from the repurposed IG-11. Maybe it was costly to have the animatronic arm working to the point of actually supporting the cup and hand it to her, so pay attention to what Cara actually does; Gina Carano is ALREADY holding the cup, taps the mechanical hand with it as if the fingers just released it from their grasp, and retrieves it. (00:11:50)

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Plot hole: When the distress signal is launched, approximately 20 minutes are left till the arrival of the New Republic fleet. From the control room the team arrives to the prisoner's cell with 15 minutes to spare. They lock Mando up, and next time they communicate with their getaway robot dude, it says there are only 10 minutes to go, meaning it took them an astonishingly long time to navigate the ship without being really much closer to the exit, having met no opposition. Then the episode turns into a slasher movie of sorts, and somehow Mando manages to find them separately, hunt them down and as it turns out, not simply disposing of them, but also drag their unconscious carcasses to the empty cell he escaped from. There's nothing coherent about this timeline.

Chapter 4: Sanctuary - S1-E4

Stupidity: The one and only threat for the good guys in this episode is the walker; when the bounty hunter and the shock trooper do their surprise attack to the encampment, they do not try to locate it and destroy it while it's not operational and vulnerable (which they can do easily since they are following its tracks), but they enter a tent the baddies keep their beer in, plant a thermal detonator in it, whistle to call the attention of the guys that are drinking by the campfire, and brawl with them until it's almost about to blow, escaping in the nick of time. If that's not convoluted and nonsensical, I don't know what is; by that logic they could have simply tossed the bomb into the campfire and killed them all just as well. And of course, then they have to outrun the AT-ST, as if that was feasible.

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: During the battle with the aliens, Mando throws one to the ground, disarming him, and gets his weapon. He is brandishing that weapon against a second one, but you can see that as they 'fight' (right after the clash that springs sparks) that his adversary stops a strike that Mando is not parrying (obvious miscue), and then in the next cut the weapon is gone entirely.
