The Zombies of Venice - S1-E6

Other mistake: The title of the episode is about zombies in Venice, on TV everyone speaks of zombies in Venice, etcetera...but the news in passing show a map of Italy where the contagion zone covers large areas of the peninsula, such as an enormous region including the capital Rome and practically all of Northern Italy.

Other mistake: When the two women with the baby walk to the stroller, the one with a vest who does not believe in acting has her arm down her side in the first shot, folded with the hand on her belly in the second. It's also worth noting that the stroller is supposedly being pulled closer by the grappling hook, but the rope is not in tension. (00:12:00)

Continuity mistake: Kim picks up the papers Athena had in her bag, of course by cartwheeling. The papers are different from one shot to the other, though; the closest one to the purple bag was a series of sheets pinched together and folded up irregularly, but they are much more neat when she grabs them, not to mention, closer to the bag itself. (00:28:15)

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: The fireworks explosions lack any depth and perspective, and are superimposed in a way that puts them completely out of place, in particular in the panning shot of the hotel veranda after the crown prince hightails. (00:17:50)

Continuity mistake: In the fast food scene, in some shots the 3 drink cups are aligned in a group of 3, in others they are scattered in different parts of the table. And especially during the surreal conversation when Dog says he wants to be a dog when he grows up, the straws in the drinks change; they are bent at a roughly 45° angle at first, and parallel, but then switch to different angles. When Athena starts barking, one points up and one points down. (00:29:25 - 00:31:15)

The Left Hand of the Magician - S1-E5

Plot hole: Luca is the one who set a deadly trap, but somehow doing that he realises that it was his rival that killed his dad, and accuses him of trying to hurt Fujiko...which he did himself! In fact, this begs the question; if the ringmaster wanted to be the one and only to have access to his father's tricks, why was Fujiko the one doing the magical act? It would have brought fame to her and kept him in the shadows. If he knew that the act was flawed (and it was not, since it works), another death on stage would have tanked the show forever, so obviously it was not what he was after either.

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Plot hole: The whole "booby trapped frozen room" does not make any sense. Let's try to ignore the fact that it is entire speculation and a huge leap of faith on Mr. Fox's part that the trap works that way or that it's the only one, and that it wouldn't make sense (especially for a thief) to have something so erratic rigged to destroy your whole expensive equipment and jewelry stash - at most something directed at the door or a small charge to destroy your HD to cover your tracks. Still, it is supposed to react to any minuscule variation of temperature in the room and is triggered by a small sneeze, but Batwoman opens the door normally, and that alone would create a variation in temperature much bigger than her breath's (just think of what happens when someone does that in real life!). (00:21:40)

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The detective at the beginning of the episode shouts "Elena!" and grabs the second bar to the right of the decorated part of the gate. When he lets go, you can tell from behind that he is letting go of the closest bar. (00:00:30)

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Plot hole: Lupin tells Fujiko what happened at the Gotti Mansion while she was away, and she is surprised. The caption says it happened "2 hours ago." But turns out it was Zenigata to call the police and send them to the mansion. After that, Fujiko ran off. If she didn't know that Zenigata knew, there's no reason why she would run away. Also, you have to assume that Zenigata has been in front of the phone waiting for a long time for the HQ to call him back about the outcome of the operation, because if he *just* made the call, then Lupin's presence and Fujiko's escape become outright impossible. But it is exactly how it is shown; Zenigata makes the call, and immediately after there's Elena/Fujiko walking down the stairs.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: During the sequence with a crowd in front of the Gazette looking at the dummy on the stairs, there is a shot with the camera panning up (right after Kate arrives). Look in the crowd on the left side; a kid is following the movement of the camera on the crane instead of looking at the 'crime scene'. (00:11:50)

Sammo ★

The Left Hand of the Magician - S1-E5

Factual error: Interviewing the circus crowd, Lupin talks with a guy that is counting a bunch of 5 euro banknotes. The notes lack serial numbers, but even if we consider okay the lack of detail in such a tight close-up where they bothered to reproduce with pretty good precision the rest of the filigree, they surely are shaped wrong, being at least a 30% wider than an actual 5 € note. (00:06:40)

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Stupidity: This is not quite 'stupidity' but rather a "movie logic", supposedly sharp deduction that is really just a wild and nonsensical guess. Zenigata knows for a fact that Fujiko is impersonating Elena because she knew right away where to get the first aid kit, while Elena hasn't been in the mountain house since her husband's death. That makes no sense; Zenigata has to assume that Elena was completely straight about that fact (if it was the treasure's hiding place as he suspected, she easily could lie), and a person can easily remember where they store their security items even after years, for a variety of reasons.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ray is speeding on the road that he previously traveled very cautiously. He is engaged in a tricky overtaking of 4 vehicles in a row. In the side view close-up he is overtaking the sedan, but after the close-up on the speed meter that is going past 80, he has yet to pass that same car, since the car before that was a SUV. (00:14:30)

Sammo ★

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: During the announcement that she is running for office, from Zenigata's point of view Elena is very far away, quite literally a dot in the horizon as if she were on the other end of a large city square, but in the reverse shot from her position, Zenigata is just the other side of a relatively narrow street. (00:20:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Athena shows Kim the cosplay pic she took at Comicon, with the dog posing as Ron. Kim's hands are touching (or hovering by) the phone in the wider angle but not in the close-up. Similarly, when a few moments later she says "I didn't really have any friends" etc, the phone switches from her left hand to the right between shots. (00:30:25)

The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right after his old pals left Lupin alone at the wedding reception, Rebecca jumps at him from behind. She places both hands on his shoulders, but in the next shot she has just her left hand on his matching shoulder. (00:05:35)

Sammo ★

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Plot hole: Nix's hypersensitive hearing is disturbed by the smoke bomb exploding close by, but he is not thrown off at all by Lupin's unsilenced gun in the enclosed space, which produces a louder and sharper sound.

Sammo ★

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Plot hole: Fox is alerted by the alarms that there is an intruder in the house, exactly in Wayne's office. He has to make his way up from the Batcave to the main residence, enter by the door and then he gets knocked out by Magpie. As it turns out at the end of the episode, she had the place perfectly scouted (and it was shown anyway that the intruder was already in the office when the alarm rang), so there's no reason at all why she'd still be there to assault him, considering the necklace was not guarded by some bulletproof crystal or anything of the sort and if she planned such a bold theft in broad daylight she surely wouldn't take her time to get what she came for. (00:15:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Establishing shot of the soccer field, all the team is in front of Kim. The last row of players has the rightmost one well on the outside of the second row, but in the view with camera in front of Bonnie, the squad is compacted to be in frame, the player in question now being behind the very tall rightmost player in the second row. (00:23:25)

Sammo ★

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Factual error: Fujiko is reading from a fictitious Italian newspaper ("La voce dei fatti") that reads the Japanese way, with the front page being where the last page would be in the Western design. Obviously no such publication could exist in Italy. That's also inconsistent throughout the scene itself, since at the beginning it is a normal left-to-right newspaper, then turns Japanese when Lupin says "You have a very discerning eye." (00:06:35)
