My Beloved Enemy (2018)

Other mistake: The protagonist finds out that his wife is cheating on him, and decides to try to dial the killer. We see his phone number, it's 328 241... Later on, after visiting his brother's parish, he tries to contact his 'frenemy' again but the number now is 386 909.etc. He can't have changed number in that short while (and the protagonist wouldn't know anyway). (01:03:10 - 01:10:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Tsubasa 'powers' in this episode get nerfed in the rest of the series; he is in elementary school and yet his shot flies literally miles off to land with precision in the arms of Wakabayashi. If he had this power and precision during a match, he'd be superhuman.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: The international dubs (Spanish, Italian, from what I understand even Arabian) have the narrator say that Fujisawa (which is where the international dubs set the story instead of the fictional town of Nankatsu) is renowned for its football teams, plural. That's not true, since the only strong team is Genzo's Shutetsu, and the competing team in the local derby loses 10-0 to them, and the prestige the city has comes from their victory in the previous championship tournament.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: Star keeper Genzo Wakabayashi has a trademark hat with his name and a cool logo. According to his manga character design he was supposed to wear the Adidas logo, but copyright issues arose and the Nankatsu logo is a great substitute visually - sadly it makes no sense, because he is sporting it already at the beginning of the anime and the team with that logo will be properly formed only later in the series.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: Since Max renounced his wish, it is implied and shown that he had to give up also all the benefits he gained from his role, still he uses the Marine One presidential heli to get back to land. There's also no way he'd know where his son was, considering that in the lasso's vision he was running on a highway, and he happens to find him at the White House lawn. (02:20:00)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: The Emir wishes his ancestral land to be returned to him and the heathens to be kept out, but the wall that magically appears has 'heathens' on both sides of it, so his wish does not seem to be fulfilled. (01:19:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Other mistake: Misaki's dad just arrived at the stadium, and seeing his son play, he strokes his beard with a satisfied look. Problem is, he's still standing and the hand that rubs his chin was holding a toolbox he did not have time to put down (or anywhere to place it on, for that matter). (00:10:40)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: In the end credits, two actors are credited as "Camaro driver" and "Camaro passenger." The sports car that appeared in the movie (without a mandatory front license plate) was however a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. (00:11:35 - 02:26:00)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: Flying the jet plane, Steve is surprised by the lights in the sky and needs Diana to explain to him that it's fireworks and it's the 4th of July. Fireworks are something that has existed for centuries, and Steve himself was the one who found the plane ticket for the 4th commenting "If this date is right." (01:11:30)

Suggested correction: He didn't realise it was the 4th of July, he's just surprised to see fireworks, not that he doesn't know what they are. The date on the plane ticket he just forgot.

lionhead

He asks "What's that?" when the fireworks are visible and can't really be mistaken as anything else, and he himself was fully aware of the date before they headed to the hangar, but Diana says "The 4th" and he asks "The 4th of July?" like it's the first time he even thinks which month is it. If you listen to it, the emphasis is on the question in the delivery of the line as in "It's the 4th of July?", not as in "Oh, the 4th of July, right!"

Sammo

She says it's the fourth and he instantly realises it's fireworks for the fourth of July. There is no indication whatsoever that Steve doesn't know what fireworks are and your movie mistake suggests the makers intended Steve not to know what fireworks are, which is ridiculous. Your interpretation of the scene is just wrong.

lionhead

He does not instantly realise it's fireworks for the fourth of July. She has to reassure him that "oh it's OK, it's just fireworks", then she says "The 4th, of course" and he replies, as I said "The 4th of July?" with huge emphasis on the surprise. Sorry if you find my interpretation of the scene 'just wrong', but if they did not have his character call attention on the date literally 5 minutes earlier in the movie (it is a fact), I would have not reported it just for the fireworks part alone (which is more subjective, we read differently, and I respect your position).

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: Wonder Woman pushes the cute kid to safety onto a big FAO Schwarz plush. She then lassos the two baddies and springs to the opposite side of the mall hall to capture the last two, then turns to her left and exchanges knowing looks and complicit winks with that kid that is still sunken into the plush toy. They should be nowhere near close enough for her to do that. (00:16:00 - 00:16:40)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: Wonder Woman is downtown in DC saving random people. She kicks a red sports car that was probably going to run over a hideously dressed jogger. She kicks it from the right side. The car spins towards the middle of the crossroads, and its hood faces the left turn of the crossroads. For a moment we see Wonder Woman go 'woosh' crossing the road in front of the car that is at a full stop in that position. It does not even begin to make sense, she is not coming from the same part of the road she was at. (00:11:45)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: In the first Wonder Woman movie, Queen Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother, was adamant that Diana was never to be trained as a warrior, fearing the fact that making her stronger would draw Ares to her (or vice versa), and argues with her sister who was training her in secret when she finds out; this incident happens when Diana is an adolescent. In this movie, a much younger, still child-like Diana takes part (and nearly wins) a contest between the fiercest athletes, involving horseback archery. The Queen should be freaking out and look for whoever put a weapon in her kid's hand, and instead she is perfectly happy, obviously cheering for her and at the end she even gives her a pep talk telling her to look up to...the great warrior Asteria.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: To win the race, the 9 Amazons need to shoot color coded targets from a wheel that has 7 possible 'arrows'. That seems already rather impossible, since the colors are unique to the contestants. Moreover, Diana's color, blue, is consistently on top in the 12 o'clock position, but their rivals' insignia in yellow and red change position, adding an unfair advantage to the heroine, or to be precise, they are at 10 and 2 the first time, 4 and 7 the rest of the time. (00:05:55)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: The contest begins with 9 Amazons, but there are only 6 horses on the beach. One could think then that maybe it's an elimination game and it's done on purpose to weed out the slowpokes who finished last the first part of the race. Then again...they race to pick up their bow and arrows from seven racks. (00:03:20)
