Continuity mistake: During the banquet, Semyon motions to the waiter that offers to pour him champagne, to serve the guest to his right instead. The bottle was showing the label to the camera, but in the new shot it made a 180° turn, the label faces the waiter instead. Moreover, the waiter exits left but is walking right behind Semyon right a split second later in the reaction shot as Semyon looks at his son answer the phone. (00:15:10)

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen, Semyon is telling Anna how 'sad, very sad' is that he can't remember the woman having anything to do with the restaurant. A restaurant worker with a towel in hand walks past them, and has already opened a fridge and looking into it in Naomi Watts' close-up. (00:11:05)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: During her first visit to the Trans Siberian restaurant, Semyon is walking Anna across the room. She walks along a table, and the waiters and waitresses she passes by are inconsistent between shots (for instance she walks past a woman, but in the front view there's only a man behind her). (00:09:00)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Kiril comes out of the restaurant's back door, shouts at the dog and puts a hand on Nikolai's shoulder. He is talking across the two shots about his wife, in the second one his hand is not on his shoulder, it is on his back. (00:07:15)
1st Oct 2019
Character mistake: Nikolai is driving Anna home after the bike went kaputt in the rain, outside the restaurant. Anna towards the end tells him to "take the next right." Both Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen are looking left, and keep their eyes there. (00:28:25)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Anna's uncle storms away refusing to translate the notebook of the dead girl. Anna sits down while her mom lays the table. In the close-up, she has all the utensils on the cloth (she missed the spoon in the wider shot) and the knife shifted more to her right. (00:06:35)

Toujou! Eien no mayoigo Ryouga - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After the intermission panel with the drinking panda, in the aerial view Ryoga has only guys behind him, while the crowd is mixed in the following shot. (00:12:15)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: When Carol is showing Fury the upgraded communicator, in the close-up Fury is already drying his hand with the towel he grabs only later. (01:48:40)

Pî pî P-chan Roku na monjanee - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Once Again has kissed Ryoga's cursed form, in close-ups the pig's bandana touches Akane's hand, while in wider shots they are not touching. (00:07:10)
1st Oct 2019
Pî pî P-chan Roku na monjanee - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When the butler guy trying to hit Ranma ends up sticking his bo through the gate bars, the weapon is at a different height between shots. (00:19:30)

Continuity mistake: When Maria says "It's just basic physics" and takes a sip, her grip on the glass is different than in the following shot. (01:15:05)
1st Oct 2019
Gakkou wa senjouda! Taiketsu Ryouma vs Ryouga - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: The portion of Akane's hair cut by Ryoga's metal belt is much bigger once the hair hits the ground. (00:21:20)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: When the doctor asks Fury "How's your eye?" he turns towards him twice in two separate shots. (00:36:20)

Stupidity: Noah loves the classics, he shows passion and interest in them, it's part of what wins over professor Jennifer Lopez. Witness this risible exchange, about Achilles; "He killed this guy, Hector. But instead of hiding out like a pussy, he..." "Dragged his dead body around for everybody to see." "Yes." The sheer dumbness of this exchange, especially the first statement, hurts the brain; why would a warrior 'hide out like a pussy' for killing an enemy during war?
Suggested correction: Achilles killed Hector in an act of revenge, not an act of war. Hector was a beloved warrior and treating his corpse with disrespect could have insulted the Trojans. Knowing this, Achilles dragged Hector's body around the city in an act of boldness. So yes, instead of "hiding out" after killing his enemy, Achilles acted like a "badass", taunting the Trojans with his victory over their champion, disregarding any threat of reprisal. There's nothing stupid about this exchange.
"Dude, there's this book about a Greek war with gods and heroes and sh*t: you know what, the main character kills his enemy in battle and doesn't hide out after! Like it's a war or something." What a stellar and perfectly not stupid pitch about the book! Makes totally sense and it obviously woos the college professor too! Mind you, I don't want to come across as sarcastic and I enjoy reading your comment, but the "not an act of war" objection is irrelevant when all the action happens in the battlefield, regardless of character motivations. Point is, the statement does not follow logic when it comes to pitching an epic fantasy book to a young adult, and on top of that, this fundamentally flawed series of statements is even painted as something totally impressing a college professor.Surely my flawed perspective of a snob living amongst snobs in a country where the study of classics is more widespread than the US, but blurting out something like that would get you a giggle at best.
I think you're putting too much weight on the "not hiding out" part of Noah's statement and not enough weight on the defiance of Achilles, which is what Noah was saying he was impressed with. For this to be a stupid statement, it would have to be incorrect. It isn't incorrect. Noah describes exactly what happened. Sure, he uses a colloquial tone but all he's really saying is "Achilles kills Hector in a duel and rather than flee the battlefield afterwards, he parades Hector's corpse around the city to intimidate his enemies." You seem to be hung up on the "fleeing the battlefield" part, as if that is a reading of Achilles actions that is so off base it rises to the level of a mistake in the movie. I don't believe that to be the case. Also, this college professor is impressed by the fact a youth would read Homer on his own at all, and the fact that he's incredibly charming and handsome certainly doesn't hurt.
I put weight on it because it sticks out: the line itself is designed to get attention using that colorful expression. Even as you paraphrased it with "Achilles kills Hector in a duel and rather than flee the battlefield afterwards" etc, the problem is not the tone: since when it's the go-to move in the genre, killing someone in a duel and then fleeing? I can't see why this would be a logical thing to say, so strongly even, to pitch the book to his friend! Like pitching a restaurant prefacing unironically that they do not spit in your food. His reading is not technically incorrect, or I would have put it in the 'character mistake' category, but mentioning what did (not) happen is daft and contrived. And yes, it is a dialogue that is supposed to reinforce that 'incredibly charming' quality you mention but it is written in such a childish way that undermines it, also considering that he told her he already studied Homer in his previous school and he is not exactly a kid.

Plot hole: During the final fight, electricity plays a strange, inconsistent role. Leaving aside the cheesiness of the blue sparks effect, it's quite odd that when said sparks signifying electricity travel up the cable, they do it just up to a certain height at first, but all the way up when it's time to kill the villain - in fact they should have travelled all the way to begin with. Not to mention the fact that Gibson has been touching the metal pretty much all the time and not just when he bodyhooks himself to it with the villain. (01:43:20)

Factual error: The 'zoo' where the final climax of the movie takes place is built in perfect movie logic; it is full of deadly hazards (unmarked, small innocuous looking pond filled with piranhas, suspension bridge that collapses when a 100 pound woman steps on it, etc) arranged in ways that either normal visitors would not be able to even notice (making them pointless in context) or that would cause horrible accidents.
1st Oct 2019
Revealing mistake: In the struggle Goldie Hawn has with a bunch of chimpanzees, a single chimp is able to stir the rope an awful lot, with the rope having a leeway disproportionate to the weight attached - in fact it happens in shots where only the monkeys are shown, obviously taken when nothing or very little was attached to the part of the rope off camera. (01:38:25)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Goldie Hawn needs to cross a suspension bridge; in the close-up of her feet, the trademark stilettos just get on the rocky floor scattered as you'd expect, one across the other. They are neatly arranged in the following shot though; I don't believe we have to assume she stopped to properly rest them parallel and upright. (01:37:10)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Rick is hiding from Diggs in a small nook, making use of the pipes on the wall. You can see (in particular when the door shuts behind Diggs, locking him in the restricted section) that Mel Gibson's right hand has its fingertips clean, while it's shown as a bloody mess when he dismounts. (01:35:55 - 01:36:40)
1st Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: When Goldie Hawn says "I can't go to another one of your funerals", the hand she had on Mel Gibson's shoulder still peeks from the bottom of the frame, showing she has it on the front of his shoulder. But it is not so in the reverse shot. (01:30:10)
