A Case Of Trust - S2-E6

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The "hostage" episode reuses footage from the "Dinosaur" episode, which doesn't totally fit. When the giant crabs attack and destroy the group of houses on the island, the longshot of the damage is recycled from the earthquake episode - including an earth fissure, something the giant crabs wouldn't and probably couldn't have done.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi shifts the stage screen Miyuki is holding, her fingers are not gripping the sides in the new position. Unless she is keeping it up sticking the back of it to her palms like Spider-man, it is impossible. She does hold it normally in all the other shots. (00:01:55)

Surf'N Turf/Hardcase Returns - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: In "Hardcase Returns" Skidmark uses a digital phone to track a GPS device installed on Turbo's parade car. When the keypad on it is shown, 3 letters are missing. They could have been on the keys that had nothing written on them, but we will never know for sure because nothing is on them.
