Ghostbusters (1984)
Revealing mistake: The Ghostbusters' containment unit explodes with a sinister beam that blasts through the rooftop.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14
Plot hole: The victim managed to write a dying message with chalk on the inside of the locker, but the only moment when he could have done that was when his assassin was standing there watching him die waiting to drag his corpse away. Since the writing was basically the killer's name, it's absurd that the killer never bothered to wipe out the signs; it's chalk on hard metal, not a single trace would have remained. It also does not match the position of his hand in the second episode.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 4 - S1-E13
Plot hole: The basic causality principle is reversed when explaining the murder with the corpse discovered on fire. The lesson was about combustion and took place before (or during, rather) the murder, so it couldn't be something used to disguise an unexpected problem that hadn't surfaced yet. Additionally, there's no reason why the murderer couldn't act as first responder or place the body near the river or in the bathroom.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Audio problem: Someone "accidentally" drops an eraser, drawing the teacher's attention. It's a soft pencil eraser with no additional parts, but it falls with a clicking noise as if it were made of hard plastic. (00:08:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki says that if they finish the test early, they will have a bit of time to relax, her pen is to the left of the paper. Close-up, and it's on the right side. (00:06:40)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Other mistake: During the science lesson about DNA, the teacher shows the double helix structure. One wonders how could he draw it using 3 colors since he has just white chalk at his disposal. The figure disappears a moment later when he starts giving out the test papers. (00:06:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Stupidity: Akechi finds the pieces of chalk but does not investigate the open locker, where the victim left what turns out to be literally the name of the murderer. The plan of the all-knowing Puppeteer works only because the smart investigator does not perform even the most basic crime scene.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When the teacher explains the timetable of the lessons, everyone has a booklet in front of them. Kindaichi despairs as the other people are walking away; his own booklet is missing now. (00:11:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: Miyuki's hairstyle is different in the first part of the episode (during the debriefing) and then gets back to what it was in the previous episode, with the two hair clips on the side instead of one at the back. On day 2, it switches again to one clip at the back.
