Sammo

Revealing mistake: As the ninja starts mowing down people left and right before his victim tries to run him over with the horsepower of a little golf cart, you can see his sword is not actually hitting anybody, even when he's supposed to be stabbing and slashing them. (00:04:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the first victim of the ninja arrives at the designated spot for the ambush, he stops the golf cart and in a long shot he reaches for his club. In the closer angle the girl on the cart is in a pose inconsistent with what previously shown, and moments later he asks the bodyguards to help him search the ball, holding the club in a pose that changes at the cut. (00:03:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the stunt where the motorcycle goes down the flight of stairs, the actors are replaced by stuntmen - and the one replacing Biff Manard wears the jacket buttoned up all the way, as opposed to the actor. (01:02:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Jack realises that he 'lost' the watch, but luckily Leena shows she wasn't as forgetful and it's in her possession. We saw Jack toss the watch as ordered by the possessed policeman. We saw also Leena show up to save Jack, and leave the scene with him hand in hand - he dragged her with her, actually. She was nowhere near the point where the watch would end up, and she didn't have a chance to get it later, especially without Jack's knowledge.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The policemen work with Whistler all day long doing his bidding, to the point of shooting an unarmed woman, but they show the big-lipped zombie Trancer look only at the very end, in contrast with everyone else who would fully transform into a Trancer the moment they commit to attempting to kill someone.

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When the policemen are looking for Jack who poses as a hobo, and when Lopez confronts him and gets killed, the scene is supposed to happen to during the night, but what appears to be daylight comes through the openings (we see the outside of the building when they all escape and there's no light source like that). (00:53:15)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Whistler's powers are not fully explained, but most certainly he has no god-like abilities or is omniscient; the rest of the movie shows he is not. But Jack's first run-in with a Trancer in 1985 LA makes no sense then; unless Whistler was mentally controlling every mall Santa in LA, he had no way to know where "Philip" would end up. If he did (and again, how could he; he doesn't have the power to control legions of Trancers), he would have capitalized on it catching him in the act with the police, too.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jack has just learned about Whistler's evil plan from the TV. He tosses a sleepy Leena her kimono; she is touching her hair with her hand, but in close-up she gets a faceful of silk with no hand. (00:47:35)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: When Jack hauls Baby McNulty out of the apartment, the young actress (Alyson Croft) 's lines are dubbed over and you can also see she actually bursts out laughing at the turn of the corner. (00:43:00)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: At the 'punk' club in Chinatown, the live singer (or yeller) is lip-syncing (and with lots of lips but very little of the synching). (00:38:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the cops catch up with Jack and Leena in the parking lot of the Caheunga Boulevard salon, the first cop says "Freeze." Jack raises his hands, which are in front of Leena. Reverse angle, and he's touching Lena's back. (00:31:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Helen Hunt recovers from the "long second" and asks "Why aren't we dead?" her hair changes position on the lapels of the denim jacket between shots. (00:33:35)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: The 'medics' carry the body bag that is supposed to have the body of Evil Santa inside, but Whistler vaporized it. Somehow, they fail to notice that the obese man weighs like a feather and the bag is deflated and empty. Moreover, the other Trancers vaporize within seconds from their death, but that one, and only that one, took minutes or even hours to disappear, only with Whistler's direct intervention. (00:25:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Leena walks away from Jack (who just 'guessed' her name) saying "Thank God", her hair is a mess under the hat. It's more neat when the camera angle changes. (00:21:50)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Jack receives a summons from the officers, but he wants to ignore it. He's arguing with his former colleague on the beach. His hair is wet but the suit is dry. (00:08:30)

Black Butterfly Murder Case: File 1 - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi spots Ruri's ball after the death threat. The ball lies in the grass turned in a different direction at the cut. (00:00:21)

Sammo ★

Black Butterfly Murder Case: File 1 - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When the three daughters of the host do their little choreography, you see the painting of the butterfly in the close-ups of the eldest two. In the wide shot, they are so close to the wall and the painting is set so high on it that it should have been impossible to see the wings. (00:11:20)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jack just killed the trancer old lady at the diner's. The place was empty and nobody else was supposed to be there, but as he turns away from the charred remains, in the top right corner of the frame you can see someone peek as Tim Thomerson loudly stumbles into the kitchenware on the floor, and then nonchalantly get back to their business. (00:05:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jack just killed the first Trancer of the movie; the special effect of the corpse disappearing is not only visually poor to the point of being obviously fake, but it also has a clear mistake in execution; there's a spoon on the kitchen counter that changes position between frames (someone on set was careless and moved it, ruining the composite shot). (00:05:25)

Watcher - S2-E4

Plot hole: In this episode, the 'Watcher' displays the power to possess/mind control people at will, jumping from body to body to set up the meeting with Picard. Forgetting the fact that this usage of power for such a menial task is actually detrimental to what she wants to do (it leaves more evidence, by unnecessarily messing up with minds just to tell the guy to go from A to B), this would have been super-useful for the rest of the season, but she just never ever uses it again, not even a nerfed version of it.
