Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Dwayne says that due to the fence, the only way in is through the villa, Goodman has suddenly the hand in his pocket in the cut mid-sentence. (00:11:50)

Sammo

Other mistake: When the protagonist defeats Mature ("Rugal's secretary") in the text description, there's a description; "Noah stated with an air of pride", etc. The text starts with a parenthesis that never closes.

Sammo

Character mistake: In KOF 95 1-1, the "man with a staff" speaks to the "man covering his face" and Iori, answering the question "I was called here...but by who?" with a rather questionable "I am called you, Kisaragi."

Sammo

Plot hole: In the prologue of King of Fighters 95, Iori Yagami acts surprised by the presence of Kyo Kusanagi and vows to participate to the tournament, in fact the rest of the intro is about how he gets roped into the tournament by surprise thanks to Geese's manipulations. But as he delivers those first lines, behind him there's a giant poster supposedly celebrating the past edition, with Iori himself - who was not even in tournament - fighting against Kyo.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the finale of the KOF94 section, Rugal Bernstein's cybernetic eye switches from right to left between cinematic drawn cutscene and in-world ones.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: To round up the first interview, Humphrey gets up and asks where everyone was when the death occurred. In the wider angle he is holding the slip of paper in hand, which he didn't have standing up. (00:11:25)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole first interview with the band, the pretentious guitarist, co-songwriter and whatnot (Pete Thunders) keeps having different positions leaning against the door or not, and his beer bottle switches hand repeatedly for no reason. If sometimes that is technically possible (but unlikely) due to brief cutaway shots, other times it is not (such as when Vince Thuram says "this is my place). (00:09:00)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: The standard attack of Unicorn Jabu is a spinning hook kick. The name of the movie in the menu is Unicorn Kick, and the voice actor even screams it; "Unicorn kikku." So, of course, the pop-up text that appears when the blow connects is..."Unicorn Fist." It's a kick.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Introducing the various members of the music crew, Florence asks who the last member is. Vince Thuram, the producer, answers, but in the meantime there's been a cut, and the manager who had both hands in her lap, is now sitting with one hand behind, on the pillow. (00:09:55)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Before the phone rings, the new DS asks "And you?" to the goofy inspector, who is rubbing his foot with his wet sock in the left hand. Cut, and he's rubbing it with both hands all of a sudden. Florence's hands also equally suddenly go from above to below the belt. (00:04:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: In the intro, Cheryl Moore says "We are going to break America"; her arms are raised, and yet mid-sentence in a cut when she's just partially in frame, she has them low. (00:01:10)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.4 - S4-E4

Other mistake: On the first day of investigations, Florence says that "two days ago" the victim withdrew a large sum of money. A CCTV shot is shown later in the episode, establishing that day as March 9th 2015 - remarkably consistent with the date of the previous episode and the coroner's report. So it is the 11th, and the investigation concludes on the 12th, a Thursday. However, at the end of the episode, Dwayne says that it's Saturday.

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Stupidity: Richard is hellbent on proving what really happened, but he sits for more than a whole day on a vital piece of evidence (the phone), does not check it, and despite the fact that the victim was reported being in heated arguments with someone on the phone, he asked for no record of the calls (nor checked whose phone was it, which would have required simply inspecting the SIM card), which would have cracked the case instantly.

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Stupidity: The building is supposed to be without power - at all since the generator has been destroyed - and life support machines are not powered up, but the 3D printers in every room are powered up - so that the good guy can squish the bad guy's head in it, and the elevators, so that the good guys can escape. What sort of hospital has its electric grid rigged in a way that the elevators keep working but critical surgical equipment goes dead the moment the power fails? (01:12:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Stupidity: The whole episode has heavy farce tones and shouldn't be taken seriously, because the main plot point does not make sense; unless somehow he was able to produce remains of a body in the plane wreckage, Mr. MacLeish would have never been legally declared dead.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Heal Thyself - S3-E11

Stupidity: The villain of this episode has absolutely no business being at the final showdown, and Magnum has no evidence against him (just the rumor that he cheated on his wife!), nor to desculp Karen. He just shows up for no reason and with no explanation whatsoever, and shoots at them.

Magnum P.I. (2018)

Bad Day to Be a Hero - S1-E10

Stupidity: With automatic weapons at the ready, doing a hit that takes less than 5 minutes (going by the hotel security footage), somehow one of the two robbers found time to give constant unnecessary update whatsapps to the guy in the car, with things like "Almost at the door" and"Keep the engine running" and "About to breach", all stuff that he didn't need at all for his job. Absolutely fantastic the "Meet you in garage" bit. To the getaway guy with his engine running in the garage. How logorrheic can you get? And those are trained Navy SEALs.
