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.

Voodoo Passion (1977)
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)

The King of Fighters All Star
Other mistake: When you pull Terry Bogard in his King of Fighters XII version, his quote says "I don't know about 'legendary' means."

The King of Fighters All Star
Other mistake: The quote you get when you pull Benimaru '99 from the gacha summon is "Don't go too rough on a beautiful lady." Benimaru is a cisgender man.

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: The timekeeper stops the clock when Jason charges in saving Ian, but kept it going just fine for a minute when the official for the match was roundhouse-kicked to the curb, a fat kid bit an athlete and everything was obviously not legitimate in any way or form.

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: Throughout the dance club sequence, Kelly in several shots, from the very opening when she is in the background, up until everyone gets on the dancefloor, can be spotted with a guy standing next to her in a shirt similar to the protagonist's. But she has no date for and she came with a couple of girlfriends. (01:10:00)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: When by extraordinary luck Jason's mum can't go pick up dad exactly the day that he has to fight off a bunch of thugs, notice on the front of the car the fake Washington state license plate about to come off. (01:07:10)
17th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: Jason's reaction when he sees Bruce Lee walk back into the light is just silly. He perfectly sees him walk away, but he looks left and right and springing on his toes as if he were trying to look past an obstacle. Not investigate a doorway. (01:04:25)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: Jason's dad is still limping heavily and barely makes it to the pool table to bring the beer. 20 seconds later he's dragging an angry and non-cooperative guy bigger than he is all across the beer joint, and even tosses him out of the door as he lands with a nice graceful flip like of course any drunk dudes would. (01:03:15)

Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team
Other mistake: Special shots can always be executed also as corners. All good, but their animations more often than not involve long runs across the field, obviously inappropriate for the circumstance.
16th Sep 2020
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: In a quite extraordinary time compression, Jason receives the form, barely scribbles something on the first line, and the 'sensei' arrives and asks him "Finished?" And he says yes, without having written basically anything and surely not signed. (00:26:30)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: In the world championship tournament shown on TV from the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno, the actual shots with the ring show a much smaller and poorly lit location that does not match the other footage. (00:24:20)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: In the shot with the Stillwaters' car pulling in front of their new home in Seattle, on top of the luggage rack you can spot a little red item that falls off as the car stops. Coincidence or not, a minute later Jason opens the U-haul cart and grabs a box with a red cup on top. Same object or not, surely they did not travel from LA to Seattle with something precariously on top of a bag. (00:08:40 - 00:09:30)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)
Other mistake: As the trio of bad guys enter the dojo to challenge Jason's dad, they go past a few students, who apparently prefer getting out in the street in their karate gi and bare feet rather than take a minute to at least put their shoes on - we even see one with sneakers and belt in hand, makes you wonder if he's just gonna drop his pants in downtown L.A. That one is not the door for the locker rooms. (00:03:30)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1986)

Other mistake: Van Damme in the opening credits is presented quite literally as "Ivan, the Russian." During the movie they call him Ivan and is last name in the tournament is mentioned by the announcer as "Krasinki." So naturally in the end credits roll Van Damme is billed as... Karl Brezdin. Close.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Other mistake: When the Turtles start their time travel, it's night in Japan. Almost 60 hours pass, and it's again nighttime in Japan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Other mistake: Apparently, Whit is the only prisoner in Lord Norinaga's dungeon who wants to be set free; everyone else does not react to the fight, ask to be released or struggle in any way. (00:33:00)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Other mistake: Not finding his scepter anymore, Norinaga speaks in English to the guards. It's rather stupid of him to do so since it's counterproductive to show vulnerability to his 'ally' he wanted dead at the beginning, but let's forget that. The problem is that his envoy addresses the Turtles outside the gate in English as well. He thinks they are the honor guards, fellow countrymen, there's no reason why he'd use English. (00:28:00)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Other mistake: When April O'Neil arrives bringing gifts, she leaves the manhole cover completely open - there's also an awful lot of light coming from there, as if the abandoned subway station were built inches away from the surface. (00:05:20)
Other mistake: The Italian version of the movie keeps the "All the good ones end in -O!" joke that singles Raphael out, making him angry and causing his punishment...but the Italian names of the Turtles ALL end in O, "Raffaello" included. (00:31:05)
