Other mistake: The top Italian goalkeeper in the game is "Zino Hernandez", wrong transliteration; the katakana used for the sound Zi and Ji is the same, but between the non-existant "Zino" and the very common name"Gino" the choice should be obvious (not that Hernandez is a typical Italian last name, but it's a possibility and a choice mutuated from the manga).

Batwoman (2019)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the lobby, Mary advances towards an injured woman she diagnoses from meters away. Seen from the front, she is holding her phone in the right hand. In the back view though, she has it in her left hand. The phone switches hand again when she commands the paramedics to go check her again. (00:32:45)

Batwoman (2019)

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Stupidity: Batwoman not only drives through town the same bike as Kate, in full Batwoman garb including the cape, but at the beginning of the episode is driving to Wayne enterprises, right inside the employees entrance (clearly marked as such). Even funnier considering the fact that the series keeps referencing things such as security cameras and people taking Batwoman pictures with their phones, elements that were not a concern decades ago and that would if anything require more caution, not less. The old Adam West show with all its camp and obvious absurdities had him at least drive his car to the outskirts of town and come in and out through a secret entrance, not his home garage.

Seinfeld (1990)

The Robbery - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the initial conversation when the camera is on Elaine there's a chair prominently featured in the background, with a jacket on the back. The chair turns around between shots - in particular, when Jerry proudly proclaims himself "Master Packer" it is positioned at the desk instead of facing towards the camera. (00:01:10)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Robbery - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: George is chatting with Elaine as he is waiting for Jerry. Elaine splits an Oreo cookie. When he mentions her "price range", she is not seen fully but her left hand is in frame and she brings it up. When George turns around to address Jerry though, it's her right hand to be raised. (00:03:20)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Jerry and his mom are playing Scrabble; when she is picking the non-existent word, Jerry says that he's "nervous." Look at The Note between his hands. At the cut, the paper is in a different position and orientation. (00:17:45)

The Two Popes (2019)

Factual error: Pope Benedict and Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio are hanging out in the room by the Sistine Chapel having a pizza and a drink together. The drink of choice is Fanta, apparently Joseph Ratzinger's favourite beverage. The scene is supposed to happen in 2012, but the label of the bottle is a more modern one, introduced in 2016. (01:34:20)

We Have a Pope (2011)

Continuity mistake: The designated Pope has just been visited by a physician. Three cardinals want to take a stroll outside for some sweets and arts. One of the cardinals stands and rebukes them; you can see that the cross on his chest has its chain caught in a button of the vest. During the rest of the scene the chain is caught in that button in the closer views and is loose in the wider angles. (00:23:50)

Batwoman (2019)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In her rooftop fight with Tommy, Batwoman opens with a batarang, then sends him face down kicking him from behind. They wrestle some, and the railgun goes off once. In a wide shot when she punches him in the midsection a few times while he is trapped in an armlock, you can see the gun on the ground. He had it in hand in the previous shot and is still in his possession later. (00:35:00)

Batwoman (2019)

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Batwoman gets shot in the alley; the bullets create bad looking CGI sparks each time they hit her suit. When she gets back to the cave and sits down as Luke scolds her, you can see her suit bends and folds at the breastplate all rubber-like, making even more unlikely the fact that bullets would create sparks on impact (for what is worth, in the following episode there's a close-up of a bullet hitting the breastplate of the suit and there is no trace of sparks and not the slightest give from the material). (00:02:00 - 00:03:55)

The Dark Half

Other mistake: To retrieve the bird whistle in Miriam's apartment, Thadd fills the vase it ended up in with water, using either the glass or the mug from the bar. The game makes you do it twice, because only once would not suffice. Too bad that the vase is so big that it gets to George's chest (you can't pick it up because it's "too heavy", as he comments), so 2 little glasses would never be enough to fill it, and to the brim even.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After some awkwardness in the elevator, Kate arrives at the party. Walks to the left and she comes across a blonde wearing blue pants and top. The woman holds her drink in her left hand, which becomes the right in the reverse shot. (00:20:30)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Factual error: The very first shot of Kate and Reagan taking a walk in downtown Gotham for the lunch date is a wide-angle view. Several flags on the right side of the screen are visible, including the City of Chicago flag with its 4 red stars and the State of Illinois flag. (00:13:20)

Murder, She Wrote (1984)

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Mr. Giles holds the telephone as he interrogates the private eye, who answers in a rather defiant way to the threat of "the local constable" getting involved. So Giles puts the receiver down, but notice that in the first shot he is passing it from the right to the left hand. In the close-up it is the right hand to hang up, though. (00:23:15)

Murder, She Wrote (1984)

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the scene at the train station, Jessica's nephew introduces to her Kitt Donovan from the publishing company. Just as he says "in public relations", a man pops in the foreground - it is an extra that walks out of the rail car. In the reverse shot that follows, the same extra is only then coming out of the train. (00:09:35)
