Revealing mistake: When Mitsuhashi and Ito meet on the first day of school, the clock in the classroom never advances from the 8:20 position despite the scene taking place in a span longer than one minute. (00:04:45 - 00:06:08)
A Day in the Life of Retsuko - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Ton plops Tsunoda's books into Retsuko's hands, the top book is well above eye level to her face and about to the white spots above her eyes. When it cuts to a closer shot, suddenly they are down lower and level with her mouth.
Visible crew/equipment: Camera equipment is visible in the glass of the plane as the shot pulls in on the cockpit. It is fast but noticeable.
Factual error: After Dr. Austin directs the anesthesiologist to urgently start phentolamine intravenously to address the patient's hypertensive crisis on the operating room table, the anesthesiologist is seen quickly rolling the clamp on the line, purportedly to make it run faster. The clamp however is being rolled in the direction to close off line's flow. (00:20:20)
Audio problem: The kids are sitting across from an older couple in a diner. The older woman is talking about her husband. The scene cuts to a shot behind the old woman. Her mouth isn't moving but she is talking.
Visible crew/equipment: In the final minutes, it is possible to see a drone flying between the camera's point of view and the subject being filmed, the DEA agents' van going into Mexico. Likely filming equipment, but even if recreational it's hardly appropriate for the 80's. (01:06:30)
Continuity mistake: Just before the portal opens where Sonic comes out by a water fall, you get a good view of the ground around where he comes out at and there are no holes. But once he emerges, he looks around and then looks down and suddenly there are large holes that become what he focuses on. (00:00:25)
Factual error: Sergeant Bumpher never wears any rank insignia. He appears to just be a constable.
Continuity mistake: Ruth Deaver is helping Alan Pangborn put on his tie. The camera is facing Ruth's back and we see Alan's face in the mirror. The camera then switches angles to face Alan's back and Ruth's face. Alan's collar which was popped straight up from the first angle is now perfectly down over his newly tied tie from the second angle. (00:24:55)
Continuity mistake: John Paul Getty approaches the kidnapper's cars and Getty removes his sunglasses and tucks them into his coat pocket. The next shot shows him still wearing them as the kidnappers approach.
