Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: In the "Sanctuary Records" missions recap, the Titans event is routinely listed as "Tains"

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: In the opening credits, Clyde Kusatsu is listed as guest star playing "Colonel Ki." However in the end credits Robert Inouye (should be "Inoue", really) is "Colonel's Ky's driver." Ki seems a more plausible spelling, but it should be noted that in the actual episode, during the meeting when the Americans ask the General about returning the bodies buried in 'Nam, the nameplate of the absent Colonel says "Col. Ky Lan." (00:01:55 - 00:31:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: Colonel Ky fires his gun at Magnum a first time when he is picking up the handkerchief. In the background, a woman in brown is walking peacefully. Cut to scared crowd all over the place. Magnum turns the corner and from the new cover shoots a couple times at Ky. Next shot Ky returns fire, but it's just another take of the first shot; the woman in brown is again walking where she was, and reacts to the gunfight only at that point. (01:30:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: Magnum and his bride seek shelter under table during the bombardment; if it happened the way it is shown, with a model completely torn to pieces, and with flames in frame during the first table shot, they would surely not be able to stay there, nor would have taken refuge there to begin with - if the roof did not kill them already falling on them.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: The US delegation pops from behind some trees with military copters that are explicitly presented as deafeningly noisy; it's just silly and internally contradictory. Even if we forget how underplayed helicopter noise often is in Hollywood, here we go from zero to thunderous in a split second. (00:21:40)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Other mistake: The commanding officer to enter the control room passes in front of two signs which, even with different sizes, say the same thing - but the one on the wall mentions a "Wheeler airbase" (which actually exists), the one on the door a "Delber". (00:02:00)

Other mistake: In the WWE event, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch and co. face off against the female team. Yuri Sakazaki in the story uses lines (references to the Lilien Knights and disdain for cops) that are blatantly not written for her, but for the character of Bonne Jenet.

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Other mistake: First scene set in present day. Exterior shot of Rick's club. A sign says "King Kamehameha Club - Est.1905", In the previous season, episode 11 was focused on the club itself, and Magnum met the landlord, Mr. Sidney Dollinger, who explicitly said "I founded that club for the people.", and Magnum, regretting accusing him, mentions that he blamed "an 80-years-old man." Even assuming he was not precisely 80 in 1981, in 1905 he still would have been a pre-teen or barely a teenager, not the rich planter who founded Hawaii's most exclusive club donating a vast domain to it.

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Other mistake: The episode opens with the Coast Guard finding the boat owned by Marion's father empty. It's a small sailboat. Later Magnum visits it with Marion, and the boat is a small double decker yacht that looks entirely different. (00:01:50 - 00:09:30)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Magnum sprints to the ocean at the end of the episode, his bare feet are remarkably clean for someone who has just run through a lawn freshly fertilized, with Higgins just shoveling it in his path. (00:47:40)

Beauty Knows No Pain - S1-E18

Other mistake: Magnum tells Higgins he has just twenty-three hours to solve the case when both the clock at the Nest and the one at the Honolulu Lulu's Pool Hall show it's half past four. Magnum though accepted Babs' case around 11:30 AM ("11:29 at the tone", Rick jokingly said). (00:07:35)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9

Other mistake: Hyoga freezes Black Cygnus' leg solid, and he is obviously at great disadvantage and needs to be saved by Black Andromeda, but a mere moment later he just leaps to join the other 3 fellas as if nothing happened. (00:16:00)
