The False Play - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Jigen is checking out a magazine after Lupin accepted the mission from Brozzi. The article under the picture is a real article (including real names) that talks about a different kind of story (high level corruption and permits), even if at least it is about Mafia, which fits the episode's theme. (00:09:50)

The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When the camera pans through some of the gossip columns involving the socialite bride of Lupin, the text is entirely in Latin (probably Lorem Ipsum filler). Obviously no Italian gossip magazine, or any mainstream magazine, is written in Latin. (00:04:20)

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Ranma daisuki! Sayonara wa iwanaide!! - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: Ranma catches Shampoo, who drops the bottle she was holding. Ranma picks it up and it turns out it is a fake one, with a #666 label. When the bottle was falling off her hand, the label was #119. (00:10:50)

Revealing mistake: During the drill that follows Junior's return 'home' in Georgia, the extras who flee from the building and run in the street split in two, left and right of the camera position (one guy even slows down his run quite obviously to avoid tripping the offscreen equipment). (00:48:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Henry is being chased by Junior on his second bike. In a POV shot as Junior crosses the bridge, you can see he is dodged by a guy wearing a yellow baseball bat and a red Hawaiian shirt. Only, in the reverse angle (the bike coming out of the bridge) the cap stays yellow but the shirt turned inexplicably grey. (00:39:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Daphne during breakfast opens a book about Saturn. The book is an obvious movie prop (the name of the author, "Cassie Miggins", is the name of the actual prop master of the movie), where the 'obvious' part is the fact that the page Daphne reads in close-up differs from quality and even paper weight from the rest of the tome, looking more like a poor laser print or photocopy in B&W glued to the page. It even has two mistakes in the first line!"This planets most impressive feature is it's ring system" (00:05:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Velma just learned that Daphne is going to attend her same school, and does not look thrilled. Spooky music starts, with a zoom on some elements of Velma's nerdy room. And one of the things she must be a huge fan of is our good friend the Lorem Ipsum, since behind the post-it sticker notes ("Why?" "THEY are watching") you can tell the papers pinned to the wall are just that; filler text gibberish. You can read literally "Lorem ipsum" under the headline of the "Internship at Bloom" clipping. (00:03:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: At the end of the racetrack scene, the bike stops before the curve where the staff is waving the yellow flag for an accident. In the close-up of the asphalt you can see skidmarks exactly following the path the bike makes, and the odds that the racetrack where F3-like cars are competing has motorbike-sized prints exactly coming out at that curve are of course pretty low. (01:27:20)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: A farcical comedy movie does not need to have the most realistic action, but when the protagonists' Volkswagen Thing gets shot down by Turnip's double barrel, the engine 'explodes' with real flames and all, but no bullet holes at all in the metal. It's like it died from being scared. Fun part is, later the detective shows up at Spence's house and mentions exactly bullet holes. (00:28:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Binky and Turnip are waiting for Ted Danson to show up at the racetrack to place his bet. Turnip starts the first sequence peeping from holes carved into the magazine. As he begins walking, notice an old man with a grey jacket and a blue shirt, reading a newspaper, sitting, and immediately after he comes in frame, an elderly couple coming in from the left. The man is wearing a brown suit and shirt about the same colour. When there's the first cut (after the odd guy sticks the tongue out), the two are rushing towards the entrance, opposite way from before, and there's the blue shirted old man standing, and a moment later there's the brown shirt guy passing by, just fresh off walking in and with another person, not the woman from before. The same guy is also seen in the bathroom in the next scene. (00:18:20 - 00:20:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When the two gangsters get to the racing tracks entrance searching for Ted Danson, look at the old lady in the background. You'll know which one instantly, because she is looking at the two gents. The two guys are kinda conspicuous, so you might think it's pretty fair and there's no fourth-wall breach here. Same thing when she obviously cracks a laugh when the two make their hasty exit after Stuart Margolin gets hit in the gut by a silent moustached man, it makes sense. But, right after the two exit stage, she casts a look right into the camera, and for the rest of the shot (as Danson and Howie Mandel enter) she peeks again a couple times. (00:20:20)

The Penguin's a Jinx (2) - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: Robin deals with the Penguin henchman in the elevator, then suddenly jumps on the counter, watches Batman conk heads (in a real fake way) and starts laughing like a slightly demented person. In all that, the guy in the elevator was still standing and looking like he was waiting for his cue. He is just suddenly KO with no explanation in the full view of the room a moment later. (00:21:50)

Batman Is Riled (2) - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: Right at the end of the obligatory Bat-rope climb scene, look at Robin's cape; the wire that is used to keep it in place (aka sticking out to make it look like it is subjected to gravity and drapes down) loses position too soon, so the real gravity causes the cloth to go towards the wall the dynamic duo is supposedly walking vertically on. (00:11:30)

Sammo ★

Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Penguin pulls the lever, Adam West assumes the position to receive the net dropped on his head a couple of seconds early and as if Bruce/Batman knew beforehand that something was coming from the ceiling, in that spot, passively accepting it. (00:22:10)

Sammo ★

Smack in the Middle (2) - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Batman tosses the Batarang at Riddler after bursting through the door and yelling "Surrender, you rat." Such is Adam West's physical prowess and the strength he puts in the athletic gesture, that the mere touch of his foot moves the heavy cement block lying on the floor. That or it's made of plastic (same one he picks up later in the scene tossing it at the 'bulletproof glass'). (00:14:30)

Sammo ★

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: To free himself from the Joker's goons, Batman throws a gas capsule on the floor. Two things; first, the Joker is instantly asphyxiated by a lot of smoke, but when the henchmen let Batman go in the next shot, the puff of colored fumes has barely started to rise, and the Joker is further away. Second, the capsule that Adam West throws with panache on the ground and that should generate the noxious cloud can be seen actually bouncing back up after his energetic toss. (00:15:30)

Sammo ★

Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: In the close-ups of the basket filled with umbrellas at the bank, the asbestos blanket is continuously bumping up and shaken not by the 'explosions' of the booby trapped parasols, but rather by the thin wires you can make out at the top of the frame. (00:15:10)

Sammo ★

Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: The trademark vertical rope climb of this episode is done on the handle of a huge umbrella. The umbrella though is at an angle in the various wide shots, and Batman is climbing a perfectly vertical handle. (00:18:30)
