Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Character mistake: When Magnum looks at the pictures Higgins gave him, he sees one with a flare that will require him to ask Higgins to do some movie photography magic to remove it. However next to it there's a picture with just a slight less zoom that has no such flare. Magnum for no reason entirely ignores it while he only needed to grab a magnifying glass instead of begging Higgins and wait for the film to be developed again. (00:29:30)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Character mistake: Magnum and Billy Joe Bob face one of Ito's goons. The guy is supposed to be competent with nunchakus, but he simply waves it around with no skill and in the close-up of his warrior yell, he strikes a pose with it but you can see at the bottom of the frame he misses the catch and does not grab the other stick. Obviously the extra was hired simply because of the looks and ethnicity but had never used this goon's supposed weapon of choice before. (00:24:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Character mistake: When Magnum parks the car in front of the Kahala Towers, the word "parks" has to be used very loosely; the car stops on the left side and at little distance from another car on the right, effectively blocking the whole road. And that is in a moment of total quiet, not rushing out of the car to save a baby or something like that. Whoever parks their car like that deserves to be shot on sight. (00:12:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4

Character mistake: Shun says explicitly that a Saint's body is no different from any ordinary human's. That's quite funny, considering that in the previous episode Hyoga fought creating temperatures of -100 °C (consistently, to defend himself, and aggressively to freeze Ichi), which would have messed up really badly both contestants.

Bleach: Immortal Soul

Character mistake: During the intro, Rukia says, referring to the Hollow's sound "I can hear it's loudass voice." Unnecessary vulgarness aside, it's "its", not "it's."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Character mistake: The day of the race, Higgins reacts to Adelaide mentioning Norman as if it were the first time he ever heard the name, but he was present when she mentioned him, and the case. Not being all that involved, technically he didn't have to remember that, but he remembered the detail of the uncle, and forgetting that the woman was talking about someone being murdered, is quite odd - and is just done for the cheap gag that follows.

Sammo

Character mistake: Once the Women's Team wins the tournament and the organizer tells them that he will "stuff them" (awkward...), he concludes proposing "Now, allow me take you to the battle stage", missing "to."

Sammo

Character mistake: If the Ikari team confronts Rugal, Rugal recognizes Heidern as "the captain of the mercenary SOLIDERS I annihilated"

Sammo

Character mistake: In the ending of the Korean team, Rugal gets wrong the line he otherwise always delivers correctly before blasting his own aircarrier, and says "A WATRY grave awaits you", instead of "watery."

Sammo

Character mistake: In the dialogue before the last battle, Rugal answers Andy's "Who the hell are you?" with "I've heard of you often as the world's STRONGERST fighters."

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Character mistake: Twirling their moustache at the success of their operation, the villains say that the heroin is worth 10 million dollars. When Rick looks at all the drugs, he says it must be worth "a couple millions."

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Character mistake: Not to dispute physics in an anime about people drawing arcane cosmic powers from constellations, but when Marin explains to Seiya what happens when you shatter a rock into smaller pebbles, she says that you "destroy its atoms." That's not how physics works and luckily for her, Seiya and everyone else in Greece at the time, she did not create a nuclear fission in the palm of her hand just to prove her point.
