J.'Digger' Doyle - S1-E17

Factual error: Just before the fade-out of the first shot of Robin's limo in France, there are 3 street signs saying "Meyrargues 5 kms", "Marseilles 22 kms", "Aix-en-Provence 6 kms." It's an impossible triangulation; they are almost on a line, Marseilles is about 40 kms south of Aix, which is about 18 kms south of Meyrargues. (00:01:40)

Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9

Factual error: Unless the police dog is also a Saint with extraordinary powers, it's kinda impossible that he'd have followed a scent over 6 years old, through a public park even. (00:13:40)

Sammo ★

Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Factual error: When the camera pans across the boxes from networks all over the world broadcasting the Galaxian wars, clocks have nonsensical hours; it's 10:20 wherever "ACO" is from, but 5:05 in "MHK" land. Timezones don't work that way. (00:10:45)

Sammo ★

Factual error: For the third movie in a row -at least they are consistent - Maggie introduces herself as Detective of the SFPD, but detectives are not referred as such, but as Inspectors.

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Factual error: When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, it pulses on the floor like it's a beating heart. There can hardly be a muscle twitch in a severed ear. (00:05:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: A mandrill (African monkey) roams the stage of the Ikari team, in the Brazilian Amazon Jungle.

Sammo ★

Factual error: The original theme for the Hungry Wolves theme of this edition is called "Napolitan Blues." They either fight in Venice, or someone at SNK had the wrong idea about Naples' looks, gondolas and all.

Sammo ★

Factual error: Like in the previous movie, the female lead introduces herself formally as Detective Maggie Price, from San Francisco Police Department. Where the correct rank is "Inspector."

Sammo ★

Factual error: The search that cracks the case is nonsense from a simple logical standpoint. There are three people, whose deaths have never been related together, but that all died because of tetryzoline poisoning. Entering all three of those names in google would not produce relevant results or even narrow the spectrum, because it's three unrelated deaths. (01:08:40)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Factual error: When Floyd is standing by the Cadillac with the vanity FLOWER license plate, on the same plate you can see in the upper right corner that its registration sticker on the license plate is a 76 one. For being a fancy car by a posh golf course, it's quite odd to be 5 years in arrears of the tax - it is, viceversa, a mistake that happens in other car props during the season. (00:04:15)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Factual error: Justice in Hawaii works at a breakneck pace; TC is jailed and goes on trial instantly, which is fine, but also his impounded chopper goes for auction within a couple hours as well.

Sammo ★

Factual error: For being set in the spring in San Francisco, the trees (look at Maggie coming back home in the intro) are rather barren and there are dead leaves in the grass.

Sammo ★

Factual error: When Henry looks at the boat photo at Layton's, the ZIP code of the paper above is the proper one for San Francisco, but the calling card nearby has a nonexistent one, 90344 (together with the usual bogus 555 phone numbers). (01:04:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Ian and Sally's photo at the fundraiser is supposed to be from one week "earlier", so before the murder; the date on the cheque is 06-05-11, though, which would be 4 years prior the year the movie is set in. Further confirming the mistake, the murder happened "on the 12th" (no month specified, but then has to be either May or June) and the day after is a Saturday (the book presentation), both not compatible with this timeline. (00:51:40)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The food expert protagonist says, and it's the key plot point, that lamprey is deadly if not prepared properly, due to the natural toxins it contains. Simply put, it's not the case.

Sammo ★

Factual error: Set in San Francisco, the main female character keeps referring to herself (and so do others addressing her) as "Detective Maggie Price." San Francisco is the one place in the US where the correct designation for a detective is "inspector."

Sammo ★

Factual error: Mercenary Sheila "Scope" Sterlin's profile says; "As a former member of the British Special Forces, Sheila Sterlin was stationed in Belfast." Her profile in the sequel (Jagged Alliance 2) begins with this note; "First off, a correction is in order; Sterling's previous bio mistakenly stated that she was a member of the British Special Forces when, in fact, no such service exists. She served with the British Special Air Service (SAS). A.I.M. regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused." Enough said.

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Factual error: Wheels stuck in the jungle terrain, the mobsters get out of the car. It's a jungle in Hawaii, but, lo and behold, the first sound they hear is the call of a kookaburra, which is native of Australia and New Guinea (but also one of Hollywood's favourite stock sounds). (00:25:05)

Sammo ★

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Factual error: For the ballistic test, Higgins goes on to explain in great length that the shell contains 12 pellets, but when he displays the effect on the second target, it's blatant that there are way more than 12 holes in it - and the way the test is done, it is specified that it is the result of a single shell being fired. Incidentally, there are also more pellets than what Higgins states when he empties the shell initially -14 instead of 12 - but this last detail realistically can be assessed only if you pause. (00:29:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Factual error: When Magnum looks at the collection of tapes and books from Erin, the shelves are stocked entirely with tapes marked L-250, L-500, L-750. A huge collection...for Betamax, but Erin's VHR player is a VHS, as shown by the logo in close-ups. And in fact, Magnum to watch her movie puts in close-up a T-120 tape in the machine, which is the proper format. (00:21:15)
