Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6
Other mistake: Since they received a distress signal from a beacon, the X-wings...destroy the station the signal comes from, instantly. Maybe it's better not to ask for help (Notice the fact that they continue to attack it and in the concept art at the end of the episode the station is shown as exploding, not just the gunship they were launching).

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6
Other mistake: Everyone Mando fought with at the ship turns up alive at the end of the episode, but it's shown in the fight with the devil dude that the doors closed all the way and there's no room between the two sets of doors. There's no space for his head not to be popped like a melon. (00:30:00)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1
Other mistake: The laser cannon punches decent sized holes into the columns and even cuts through the thick metal of the door (and look with what ease), but it is shown hitting the droid at least 4 times never managing to do any visible damage to it. When at the end of the battle they talk about the 'wound', it's not in one of those spots. (00:33:30)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: It is a comic book world and all that, but the plot device used here references the real world "particle beam technology" from the Strategic Defense Initiative "Star Wars" program. If the US had, in 1984 even, the capacity to generate enough particles and use them that way, it's hardly possible that the rest of the DCU could have evolved to be like our normal world as shown in the following movies; the quantity of energy alone to irradiate the whole planet at once is enormous. This technology also makes computers receive a TV signal, evidently, since we see normal desk computers and monitors broadcast his speech. Let's not forget that this apparatus was built, in a working state and ready to be used even before any crazy magic was involved. (01:46:00)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: In the final credits, the song "Cars (Music Video) " has its iconic singer Gary Numan misspelled as "Gary Newman." Funnily enough, exactly facing this mistake (left column of the same frame) there's also the song "M.E." written by Numan, and his last name there is spelled appropriately. (02:30:10)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: The irritable Irish guy wishes the diner's owner to drop dead as Max commences his speech. A long battle after, paramedics are hilariously still there trying to revive her. Moreover, she wished for the Irish like him to be deported, but he's still there. (02:03:30 - 02:19:30)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Max broadcasts his speech in English, but everyone in the world understands him just fine. The movie never established that Max can be understood by anyone at the same time, and we hear the broadcast in English (if the movie wanted to convey that to other people he sounds in his own language, they would have showed that). (02:02:40)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: The clocks inside the Oval office and the one you can see behind Carl as he is giving Diana the boring tour point at different times despite the two scenes happening simultaneously. (01:43:45)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Barbara is on the phone with Diana (which per se is already a feat, an international call from a public phone in 1984) and tells her what she discovered. It's broad daylight for both of them and meanwhile the TV announces that Max came into possession of half of the world's oil reserves, which were in Arabia. Let's assume he had someone from his escort party wish him there, but then again, if he could just teleport, he wouldn't take planes and helicopters as he keeps doing throughout the movie. And the news say that a "instability resulted in a nationwide run on gas." Already? It barely just happened now. Timing seems all over the place. (01:27:10)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: In a classic physics mistake that superhero comics already dealt with in the early 70s, Wonder Woman to 'save' the kids pounces them at the speed of (literally) a rocket, faster than a car, and even falls with them in an uncontrolled tumble on the asphalt. Those kids should have been reduced to a pulp. (01:25:40)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: You'd think that a road in the middle of a desert wasteland in Egypt would be boring, but the day when a giant wall appears in the country and tanks blow up at hearing distance (especially, again, being in the middle of nowhere), kids can't be bothered and just keep on playing football in the middle of said road. A missile is fired literally seconds before and explodes right there, and yet they are still oblivious and play ball. Same thing for the adults; people casually walk around and look when WWIII has been happening meters away from them. (01:25:40)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Barbara in her rage against the dangerous drunk throws him against a parked truck. The impact is so strong it deforms the truck bed. By a LOT, and yet the guy is able to get up (on his knees at least). That impact should have pulverized his ribs, he's not a superhero. (01:15:25)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Steve and Diana get a wonderful view of the fireworks flying through them. They are on a jet plane and Steve is actively flying it with the engines on, but they get the kind of view you'd get driving lazily a car on a country road. (01:11:30)
11th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Steve is amazed by the mere sight of modern planes, and by the fact he just learns that there are planes that can fly from the US to Cairo directly (unlike the plane he steals later, incidentally) and in a certain time (which he somehow surmises, it is not displayed on the ticket he is looking at), showing that he absolutely has no prior knowledge of modern aviation. Even for 80s camp, the concept that a WW1 pilot who never even knew of jet planes sits on the cockpit and figures out how it all works in a minute by flipping switches...is totally bogus. (01:08:00)
8th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Tsubasa's mom calls him because the movers' truck is leaving. He kicks the ball outside the window, and is downstairs to catch it, quite the impossible feat especially when you factor in that he kicked the ball with not much of a vertical trajectory, almost in a straight parabolic pattern out of the window, and meanwhile he also found time to wear and fasten his shoes. And it's not even played up as something strange. (00:03:00)
7th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Needless to say, having a football on your belly can't cushion the impact with a truck. Even forgiving this obviously cartoonish impossibility, still the way Tsubasa lands looks all kinds of wrong, with the forward momentum instantly halted as the ball touches the ground again. (00:14:25)
21st Oct 2020
Other mistake: Throughout the game, the word "Token" is constantly misspelled as "Tokon."
26th Sep 2020
Other mistake: Most of the obvious misses and awkward parts of the action in the opening can be attributed to the fact that it is revealed a few minutes later being just a drill. However, it does not make sense on any level. The training makes use of live explosives, and at the same time no gunshots are fired but only grenades, with unrealistic trajectories and range. The 'terrorists' don't use their rifles if not to try and bash the good guys on their skulls. That's quite the subpar training, but the top brass are impressed.
18th Sep 2020
Other mistake: Susan gets upstairs as Iris shows her the room. She manages to miss the naked woman lounging in bed - watching the scene, it's an impossibility. It might not be the proverbial elephant, but it's just something so very unusual and conspicuous in the room, in a spot perfectly in line of sight that it makes no sense Susan would miss it and be surprised by that later. (00:08:20)
17th Sep 2020
Other mistake: When you pull Terry Bogard in his King of Fighters XII version, his quote says "I don't know about 'legendary' means."
