Character mistake: Higgins at the bar orders "Glencadam on the rocks", but it's been established since the pilot episode that he loathes ice in his drink of choice. (00:23:55)

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In "Even if you sigh", part of chapter 7 of KoF97, Choi Bounge says "we really tried to take Master Kim proud", instead of Make.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: The party is supposed to be "One of the premiere social events of the season", but the only people invited (Higgins knows for sure who is gonna come, so it's not like there's low attendance because of the weather) are a Prince from a fictional European state nobody knows about with his commoner wife, the editor of a poetry magazine that needs Robin's funds to survive, a sports star and Robin's accountant. 5 people in total, already all in Robin's pocket, and nobody else in attendance. While you could say that having royalty and a golden glove winner is certainly noteworthy, those people don't meet anyone else. Hardly a 'social event'. (00:04:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins is narrating one of his stories, this time implying that he helped Hemingway write "The Old Man and The Sea." Normally Higgins' stories are somewhat plausible because of factual accuracy that leaves room to be taken at face value, but here he says that it happened in "The Florida Keys, '53 or '54, it was." while "the manuscript was only in the outline stage." The novel was published in 1952. (00:10:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins addresses constantly the Prince and Princess of Turbia as "Your Majesty." For an expert of protocol as Higgins, it's quite odd to make such a mistake; "Your Majesty" is used for royalty with a rank higher than Prince (kings, emperors). Paradoxically, Magnum gets it right, calling both "Your Highness." (00:06:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: As he takes the elevator for the garage, Magnum's hat gets caught in the elevator doors before the camera cuts away. It's all fine on his head when he gets out. (00:42:15)
27th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: The side story showing Aiolia trying to meet with the Grand Pope has a few minor mistakes (such as "I've need to meet with the GP", to Aphrodite).
27th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: In the opening narration, Magnum says "Take my good friend Marcus, for example. I woke up one day and realised I was 32 and I'd never had a chance to be 22." In the second part of the very pilot of the series, Magnum says to Alice "One day I woke up age 33 and realised I'd never been 23."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Bickering with his pretend wife after risking his neck with the falling crates, Magnums says "we can stop playing house, I can go back to being a private detective, which is exactly what I should have been in the first place." Magnum has a verbal tic during the series and he fiercely corrects everyone when they call him a private eye, or detective, as he goes only by "investigator" (the I in P.I, after all). He's using the wrong word here. (00:22:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.
24th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In sidequest 10.4 (the one where he has to restore the temple of Lybra) Carlos says "Let me see think whether there's a good way"

Death in Paradise (2011)
In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Character mistake: Jack asks which one of the two saints is the Saint Ursula venerated in Saint Marie, and mentions the Ursula martyred by the Huns, and Ursula Micaela Morata, with the gift of bilocation. Being this thoroughly informed, he should know that the second is not a Saint, but a Venerable. (00:17:20)
23rd Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the side-mission against Deathmask at mount Gohoro, the Sanctuary Executioner says at first that "the ones who came with me don't know", but suddenly it becomes a single person "I'll write him a note."
23rd Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: The first term served by Dwayne's father is typo'd as 4 RS instead of YRS. (00:15:25)
23rd Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: In the first scene in the office of the dead banker, Jack is not wearing any gloves and touches the cufflink box freely without any precaution. (00:04:40)
23rd Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the side story 10.2, a blind Shiryu has to face the golden Saint of Cancer as end boss to protect his master. In the dialogue before the fight, Shiryu says "I told you before, I won't allow you to lay a hand on Deathmask." But Deathmask is the name of his opponent, he should have said "I won't allow you to lay a hand on Master Dohko."

Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: Florence says that Commissioner Selwyn Patterson and Martha are halfway through the bottle, but the bottle is practically empty. (00:29:55)
22nd Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: Before the second part of the duel with Shiryu at the end of Story Chapter 1, he mentions breaking Seiya's cloth, but it is the other way around.
22nd Apr 2020
Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team
Character mistake: Story mode, Asia Qualifiers, part 1. In the second chapter of Hyuga's training scene, Maki Akamine asks him "Can you can't this one? It's my best pitch!", obviously meaning "can you CATCH this one."
22nd Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: The web listing for the Brompton cigarettes says that they went through a "rerevival." It's a typo, not a colourful way to say for instance "second revival". (00:24:10)
