Gun x Sword (2005)

Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The mayor tries to bribe Van offering him a succulent steak. In its first close-up, the steak shares the plate with a side of carrots and broccoli. Van then cakes the steak up with increasingly ridiculous amounts of condiment until it's a blob of salad dressing with streaks of ketchup and mayo. He cuts and eats a portion of it. When he's by the window, the dressing is gone, the steak is covered just by the green sauce, and he sticks the fork inside the piece he already cut earlier. (00:05:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: The boys upstairs hear Ray screaming to pull him back up from the hole in the ground. Venkman is leaning against it with his left hand, which turns into the right hand at the first cut. (00:25:30)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with Ghostbusters dressed as construction workers lowering Ray in the dig, Egon's left arm (the one operating the device) changes position between shots. (00:23:35)

Gun x Sword (2005)

Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The bad guys at the beginning of the episode shoot Wendy and send her flying. Her gun falls to the ground with her and in the foreground we see that it falls with the grip facing away from her. In the rest of the scene it's facing towards her, and the position of the gun itself on the ground changes often. (00:01:20)

Crush Crush

Character mistake: During Babybelle's phone fling conversation about naming her flower-flavored wine, she says "Maybe I should say it tastes like a rose and it's thorns." Should be "its".

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: Janusz is knocked off the ladder by Vigo's power surge. He then writhes on the floor as Vigo addresses him, alternatively touching the floor with his hand or not between shots. (00:22:30)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: Peter got carried away playing with the kid, and his pitchy garbling summons Dana from the baby bedroom. He notices her and says something about a clear liquid; the tie of the baby bib is fully behind his back, but at the next cut the tie is across the shoulder. (00:19:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Character mistake: Ray and Egon are giving Oscar the check-up; Ray suggests to run a "Gammill and Pross Infant Acuity Test", which does not exist and is an inside-joke in the screenplay, since Tom Gammill and Max Pross are a duo of comedy writers. Egon agrees and says that they'll finish with an Apgar score, which is a real pediatric term - but it's a test for literal newborns, not an eight months old one like Oscar. (00:16:05)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: In the first scene at the museum, Dr. Janosz Poha approaches Dana that is restoring a Bonington. In this first wide shot Dana is brushing a spot with barely any brown paint on it, but in the close-up that follows she's retouching a different part where the color is thick, and the left side of the painting looks different again when he touches her hair.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: During Peter's chat show, the second guest narrates a bizarre and kinda creepy story about the alien who dragged her to his room. She concludes the story with a disturbed expression on her face, but when the camera angle changes and Peter stands, she's actually smiling without any relation to the mood of the previous shot. It is in fact a direct continuation of the very first shot of the show. (00:10:20)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: Egon is running his test on the married couple. He is about to write a note once his assistant has further tortured them with the announcement of another half an hour of wait. Sigourney Weaver has her arms crossed in one shot, but addresses Egon in the next shot having her hand on her chin. (00:06:15)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14

Stupidity: When the Puppeteer is shot, like any good villain he's actually wearing a bulletproof vest. However, a bulletproof vest is not a magical forcefield that neutralizes kinetic energy; this guy barely flinches when hit. Neither are flames; his fire trick raises a literal firewall, but firewalls are not literal walls, they do not stop bullets. The policemen could easily keep shooting through it (he throws a glove at Kindaichi through it), but they just do not, for no reason.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12

Stupidity: When Kirisawa's body is discovered, it means that he was completely overlooked during the headcount and at every point during the day. With students disappearing left and right, that's a pretty big oversight - that somehow the killer anticipated, because his body discovered last was crucial for the plan.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12

Plot hole: Kujiragi's textbook is missing. It's a plot point and it's something the culprit did to plant an evidence using a page from it. However, when the case is solved, this point is glossed over; only a page from the book was needed, which the culprit could have ripped away at any moment without stealing the book, and more importantly, when Kindaichi finds the book, there was no window of opportunity for the killer to put it back; Kindaichi and Kujiragi were right there in the corridor the whole time. The live version adaptation fixes this hole because the character finds his book only the day after, in class.
