Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: The gasoline at the climax of the movie catches fire, which is absolutely fine...but the fire spreads with the same intensity and speed across the money pile which was not touched by the gas. And it does it with a pattern, too. But the gas never got there. (01:21:45)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Kyle and his daughter manage to free themselves burning (at least in part) their scotch tape bindings. The robbers don't realise that. Try to burn similar tape with a lighter; the smell (that they can't mask) is gonna alert anyone, especially when they get this close. Later Kyle is working the weakened tape and in close-up we see just his forearms, but the kind of movement he does is impossible to make without moving the rest of the arm, and the bad guy (with his accomplices) is literally looking at him at that moment. (00:50:00 - 00:54:00)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Sarah steals the tranquillizer syringe (which is no small syringe, either) and supposedly slips it in her sleeve. Problem is, Nicole Kidman is wearing a pretty tight dress with sleeves that go up to the elbows. There is no way for her to hide the syringe that way (and in fact the actions of hiding the object and then later in the movie pulling it out happen in shadowy close-ups). (00:36:20)

Trespass (2011)

Other mistake: Succinylcholine paralyses you for about 10 minutes; in the movie it lasts way longer, and the bad guys were planning to use it instead of ropes and cuffs. It would have bought them a really short time, surely insufficient to make their planned escape to Mexico, while tying them up with just about anything (zip ties, scotch tape) would have given them potentially hours.

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: If Meiwa scored already 10 goals the previous year (when the championship was won by Shuutetsu) it is hard to explain how nobody from Shuutetsu knew about Hyuga, since they were serious contenders. (00:13:40)

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: When Nankatsu scores their third goal, several Shimada players (two during Morisaki's passage and then the keeper when he turns around to see the ball into the goal) sport jerseys with the wrong team name, "SIMADA", missing an H. (00:09:30)

The Best Keeper of the Tournament - S1-E25

Other mistake: Nakanishi is giving orders from behind, where, according to the commentator, he has a clear view of all the players. We then have a quasi-POV shot, and due to the peculiar perspective choices of this anime, we can see that from Nakanishi's spot he sees basically nobody, since the players disappear past the horizon. (00:17:00)

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Other mistake: At the speed a forklift goes, even if it crashed into the side of a big ship it would never punch a huge hole as it tore through paper like shown here. (00:20:00)

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Other mistake: When Sawada scores, in the reaction shot on the various team members Kisugi is smiling/laughing instead of being angry/worried, and the player who just lost the ball is in the background. (00:10:15)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Other mistake: In the aerial view of the stadium that follows the intermission with the sushi chef and Genzo at his mansion, there are 23 players on the field. One is the referee, you might say. In that case, the view is missing the linesmen. (00:07:20)

Fast Game in the Mud - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Genzo browses the coach notes and figures out instantly what should have been obvious to anyone (the opponent never conceded any goal, that is no small detail!), the way the action of the opponent is shown, both attackers were in offside. (00:11:55)

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: The same play-by-play commentator covers both the Nankatsu and the Meika matches, happening simultaneously in two different areas of Japan (and with no television coverage...of course, who does live commentary on elementary school matches anyway?).
