Character mistake: Higgins remembers having met the sisters "37 years ago this July", and shows a "theatre program from Blackpool the summer I completed my upper second at Sandhurst." Considering the episode is set in 1983, Higgins would have still been in military academy in WW2, which contradicts the plethora of experiences in North Africa and Burma. It's more likely that John Hillerman misspoke and it was meant to be "47 years ago", before the war. (00:37:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: Magnum rewinds the answering machine tape hitting the opportune button just once, and it plays on its own the exact bit he needs to listen to, without any intervention on his part. (00:36:20)
27th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Magnum goes through his collection of Topps baseball cards; the fake one with Johnny Wells has a design that sticks out from the others - it is in a fact a 1969 Bernie Allen one with a little post-it sticker on it with a different name. (00:25:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Magnum is holding a stinky pickled egg while he bickers with his friends in Rick's car. TC calls the store chain Magnum has been hired to protect "Day-N-Night" instead of "Day-N-Dark." (00:22:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum sits on the couch's arm, by one of the sisters who is holding Higgins' book in her lap. On her lap, under the book, there's the handkerchief she used when she was having tea. In the closer angle, there's no hankie, while Madge's is open wider. (00:18:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Higgins mocks "Tommy", who in close-up rips the page of the notepad where he scribbled down the partial license plate. In a wider angle a few seconds later into the verbal exchanges he rips the page again. (00:18:05)
27th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: After the garage fiasco, Magnum sits down with the ladies who patronize him. During the scene, the sunglasses retainers run to the inside or the outside of the shirt collar, depending on the camera angle. (00:13:05)

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Other mistake: The special boss for Legion fights that can be summoned through the Star Portal item is called Lord of the Stars, but the item description says "Thane of Stars"

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum escorted the two old ladies at the Fointanbleu Residence. The one in red, Madge, has her hand on Jeanie's arm when she says they were actresses, but she kept her hands to herself in the previous shot. (00:07:25)
26th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is at the old ladies' residence and is talking with the card collector. In the close-up of the baseball broadcast, the object on top of the TV are gone. (00:08:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum creates a Rodin-esque stack of beer cans. His store manager lambasts him, and when they are looking at his creation, it looks different already - the can he put on top as finishing touch is missing, immediately noticeable. (00:02:15)
26th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The opening sequence featuring a blonde in an orange bikini showering on the beach is recognizable as reused from a kidnapping scene in one of the early episodes of the series, 4 years before; China Doll. (00:01:50)
26th May 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Other mistake: When Hyoga faces Milo, the dialogue features retorts rather unbecoming of the solemnity of the event ("Zing!"), and Hyoga's dialogue is written as if he he did not know it was his master who froze him in the coffin - he did, but the 'reveal' is that it was done to protect him.
26th May 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: The side story of Hyoga released from the ice coffin gets surprisingly frisky with typos such as "Anyone we've done has worked" and "I am the protector of the uninhibited Libra Temple." It's an empty (not inhabited) temple.

The Dictator (2012)
Continuity mistake: The Wadiyan Games' 100 m race is edited from different takes. The distances between the athletes and Aladeen do not match, and even the start is shot with different timing. (00:01:30)
26th May 2020
My Life in Ruins (2009)
Revealing mistake: When Georgia and Poupi are walking back towards the bus from the store where she buys food for everyone, several bystanders at both sides of the road just stand there looking at the camera. (00:17:30)
26th May 2020
My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: Georgia and Poupi are taking a walk after she admitted to be starved for sex. During their walk a girl in a green top accompanied by a guy in a brown T-shirt pass them to the left of Nia Vardalos, appear in reverse shot to the right of Alexis Georgoulis, and are back behind Nia. (00:17:40)

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Gator shows up, he folds the map in the second shot, but all of a sudden he still has an unfolded map to mess with for some 'comedy' in the next shot, in a rather bad transition. (00:09:40)
26th May 2020
My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: When the Spanish tourists introduce themselves, Nia Vardalos is suddenly writing on the board and at the cut still holding the bribe money. (00:09:00)
26th May 2020
My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: Time to board the bus. Georgia tells the passenger that he can't smoke; she is holding her clipboard clutching it to her chest, then one hand, then arms crossed to the chest again. (00:08:05)
