GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

Show generally

Other mistake: During the first dozen or so episodes, during the opening credits, Onizuka is shown spray-painting a picture of a woman on a wall, with the words "Love" and "Piece" written next to her. Obviously, "piece" is a mistranslation, and the wrong spelling. The correct text should read "Love" and "PEACE."

A Case of Sour Grapes - S1-E14

Other mistake: There is a sour bottle of wine that Jack and EZ taste in the kitchen - Jack throws the bottle in the sink and breaks it before Vicky and Mr. Bradford enter the kitchen and have a chance to taste it. There would be a strong sour smell all over the kitchen, but no-one in the room noticed any bad smell after the bottle of wine breaking.

Nether Zone - S7-E4

Other mistake: Jeremy and Mark are locked in an apartment building. Mark calls a locksmith but is unable to get any assistance as he doesn't know the address. Several minutes later Jeremy orders a pizza to the address and it arrives with no issue. (00:04:28 - 00:10:20)

Suggested correction: Mark gives a series of addresses with the help of Jeremy who finally seems to remember the address. Although, there's no indication the locksmith wasn't willing to help. After the call Mark said they called him a "prong." And if they didn't offer any assistance, it could be because they thought it was a prank. When Jeremy calls the pizza place, part of his conversation is drowned out by Mark's voice over, but is reasonable to assume he gave the correct address now that he remember it.

The 45-Year-Old Man - S1-E24

Other mistake: In this episode, the news team is asked to go to the office of the head of the station. Before the scene, the camera pans up the building to one of the top floors. In the scene, you can see shorter buildings outside the office including a dome on top of a building that could be a church or a government building, which would never be that tall. The biggest mistake is that you can see trees right outside the building. There are no trees that would ever be that tall either.

Weekend Fantasy - S1-E8

Other mistake: Having thought that the kids were in trouble, or away when Jason and Maggie go away for the weekend, they call the next door neighbor to check on them and have them call them back at the hotel that they are staying, but they did not give a phone number to be called. A few minutes later, they call the police as there was no answer - and Maggie says "Jason, you didn't even give them a number to call us back" - but they didn't give the number to the neighbor, and the police would more than likely have it for caller ID reasons.
