Continuity mistake: Just before Poirot moves to the other side of the dinner table after revealing lady Westholme's deception, Dr. King at first has both hands on the table, but in the next shot she is in a different position. Same for Jefferson Cope and his cigarette; he's smoking, then he is not. (01:33:55)

Continuity mistake: Lady Westholme is cross with Poirot and making her exit from the office she leaves her leather folder behind.

Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: In Lady Westholme's flashback, she asks Emily if there's anything she and Miss Quinton can do. From the front, the table and the woman's lap are in the shade, but in the reverse shot they are fully sunlit, and back with no sun when she watches them leave. (00:56:00)

Continuity mistake: Everyone is waiting to know what happened to their fellow team member in the snow.

Murderous Intent of Below Freezing 15 Degrees - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: At dinner, look at the close-up of the table shown when they mention that the 'tune-up guy' fractured his leg last year. The guy with the blue sweater, Yukioka, has a full glass of orange juice in front of him and the spoon in the saucer is pointing towards him. Kindaichi butts in making everyone uncomfortable, and in the overhead view of the table the glass is nearly empty and the spoon turned around. (00:05:10)

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (1998)
Continuity mistake: Onizuka is on his bike with Mizuki after she utterly murdered the sushi plate. He is still reminiscing about the sweet prime cut tuna while he is at the traffic lights. Several people cross the street; there is a family with a little kid, and a guy in a denim jacket. In the wide shot it's clear that the family is to the guy's left, but in the tighter angle the guy passes them by on the opposite side. (00:34:00)
