Continuity mistake: Christie takes a breather after she called Billy. The position of her hand on the receiver - her pinky and ring fingers are at a very peculiar angle that she can't easily change - are suddenly different at the cut. (00:33:40)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The male protagonist acts sassy about the Christine not liking cops and pulls over. His hand in the next shot is on top of the steering wheel, and in the first one it wasn't. (00:25:41)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Christie's friend checks out the katana, she is suddenly leaning with her right arm against the railing at the cut. (00:20:20)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The first time we meet Christie, she is climbing a telephone pole for her job. She secures the position, and we get close-ups of the actress. She then begins her work using the box that appeared in front of her during those close-ups, because there was no such box in the first view of the pole. (00:13:20)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The Black Ninja throws the smoke bomb and vanishes. The cops witness the scene in disbelief. The fat and balding one, called Case, removes his glasses and hat with a single movement. He's still wearing them in the wider angle, though. (00:12:05)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the Black Ninja in Green seemingly dies (first time of many), the extras are in wildly different positions between shots. Just as an example, in the second shot there's suddenly one dude on one knee on the hood of the car that wasn't there before. (00:11:15)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: After chilling in the pond a while, the ninja resumes killing cops left and right. He does not hit one with his katana (but he dies anyway), then he turns around to throw a shuriken at another; this new guy before the camera cuts away is simply raising his empty hands to die, but in close-up he's being more menacing, since he's aiming the gun. (00:10:25)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The ninja kills the idiotic policeman who went in really close to check out the reed in the pond, and then runs away. He is as you'd expect completely soaked in water, but at the next cut he's totally dry. (00:10:10)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the second cop on a motorcycle falls into the lake, the stuntman deserves good cards from the judges for his dive, but in an earlier shot the ninja had already knocked him off the bike, into the dirt. (00:07:25)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The police car that crashes into the lake has a perfectly intact roof; its roof was previously shot through, stabbed and punched through. (00:07:20)
17th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the cops try to kill the ninja blasting through the patrol car roof with the shotgun, the officer's hands swap position between shots. (00:06:50)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The guards of the golf course arrive to the crime scene and approach the corpse. One of them grabs his radio and calls the cops. He's by the corpse of the attractive partner of the main victim; look closely and, without wanting to paint any intent in his action, he ends up with a handful of the actress' bare thigh. In the next shot he's talking on the radio with a firm grip on a more sensible limb; her arm. (00:05:25)

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the ninja shows his super-strength by lifting the golf cart, his left-hand keeps changing position at the back of the vehicle. (00:04:40)
15th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole first fight scene the natural light is obviously different between shots. It is already noticeable at the very beginning when the golfer stands by the cart with much more sun on him in close-ups, but also even more obvious when the ninja downs the first opponent that falls in the shade but is lying fully in the sun as his partner assaults the not-so-elusive killer. (00:03:30)
15th May 2022
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Continuity mistake: The ninja suits up during the opening credits; he reaches inside the weapon stash with his left hand to pick the shurikens, but in the following shot he draws back his right hand. (00:02:40)

Trancers (1985)
Continuity mistake: When "Highball" scores a strike against the hobo, there is a reaction shot on the 4 homeless guys to the right. The one closest to the camera (rightmost one) is watching with his right hand on his knee, but his hand is on the hat he's wearing in the next shot. (00:58:10)
15th May 2022
Trancers (1985)
Continuity mistake: Leena somehow buys Deth's story, and he tells her eventually "So you'll help me." The steering wheel rotates significantly between shots. Same after a brief cut to Whistler when they pull over in front of the "Tropical Tube Tan"; suddenly Deth's left hand on top of the wheel becomes the right hand. (00:26:35 - 00:27:15)
15th May 2022
Trancers (1985)
Continuity mistake: Jack (p) reincarnated in his ancestor is talking to the booty call in the Santa suit. He mechanically repeats "Lost souls, yeah..." as he throws the tie over his shirt. He turns around, and in the next shot the tie conveniently adjusted itself going under the collar. (00:18:40)
15th May 2022
Trancers (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Jack receives the baseball card from the Consul, he's holding the other photo from the top, which becomes the bottom in close-up. (00:15:55)

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
Blood Pool Hall Murder Case File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki points out that the atmosphere at the other table is rather gloomy, Amamoto has her chopsticks raised in one shot, absent from view in the next. (00:14:00)
