Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Revealing mistake: The protagonists just had sex. The lifeline operator chats with him through MSN; notice how the timestamps of the messages do not match at all the time that supposedly elapses, going from 12:56 to 01:00 all of a sudden and even jumping from 01:01 to 01:50.

Revealing mistake: One of the amazons (apparently called Epione) is standing to the right of the chamber doorway and shoots arrows protecting the queen. When Hippolyta runs towards the wall to do a fancy move after fetching the Mother box, you can see Epione being tossed to the wall by the parademon bolt a moment before the CGI bolt reaches her. (00:29:15)

Revealing mistake: When the military security checks Flash's phony badge, the name on the personnel list to the right does not match the fake identity; Barry's false identity is "Rowe, Wesley", but in the list the name "Band, Ryan" is highlighted. This mistake was not present in the theatrical 'Whedon' cut where the name was altered to match. (02:27:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: In the very first move by Hanawa, Misaki and Tsubasa fold back before the twins' dynamic advance. Due to an animation error, Taro Misaki's hair in the wide shot flickers of a different color several times. (00:12:40)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mayor Hamilton Hill speaks to his geriatric butler as he is tying up the birthday banner, the butler's right hand is miscolored in some frames and becomes part of the banner, same purple color. (00:03:55)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: Taki dispossesses an adversary, and promptly two more run towards him. The animation skips during their run, with the advertising banners changing color between two frames. (00:06:25)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The cane of the 'mysterious' drunk that happens to be not too far from Thorne's table is hovering instead of being properly hanging off the edge of the table in a couple of shots. (00:03:00)

The King of Fighters All Star mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Rudy's "Judgment of Glory" Finisher uses a special background of distant mountains and cliffs. Sometimes (in particular during Mecha Goenitz's challenge) part of energy/fire or even whole enemies get in front of the superimposed image, casting shadows on it like a cheap theater background.

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: When the paper with Harvey Dent's picture on the hospital bed is burning, there are a few frames with the words "CUT THESE FRAMS" [sic] that can be seen through the flames. (00:20:30)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the shot with the creepy clown that sends his unicycle crashing and begins juggling, the kids in the background are frozen in place for the first frames, then start moving. (00:05:15)

Pay the Ghost (2015)

Revealing mistake: When Nicolas Cage drops the possessed camcorder, he does it putting it on a newspaper. The movie is set in New York but the newspaper has an article talking about the Mackenzie Valley, in Canada, and of course it is where the movie was shot. In fact, you can identify the paper as the Toronto Star, Sunday September 28 edition, so also outside the proposed timeframe. (00:41:50)

The Provocation - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When the assistant coach blows the whistle to start the tryout match, coach Shiroyama blinks back into existence next to him during the same shot a second later. (00:14:00)
