Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1

Character mistake: During Lucky's initial display of power at the gates of the settlement, he fires a cannon shot at the building and shouts (in the English dub) "How do you like that? Bullseye." There's a view of the building and you can read the horseshoe sign; "Evergreen SHOPING Mall." (00:07:15)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: Before the trial, Tully leans over the table and tells the boys that he got his law degree at night school; Ray in the reverse shot is holding his pencil at table level, while it was well under it out of frame in the previous. (00:28:00)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: When Ray kicks and breaks the pipe in the underground, the prop was obviously put together to break at the flimsiest touch; it's not just a corroded or even cracked pipe, the two parts are not even of the same color, they were never a single piece to begin with. (00:25:40)

Other mistake: In the Italian dub, Egon mentions that he raised the room temperature to 42°, which would be almost 108 F, instead of the correct 95.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Other mistake: In the Italian dub, the kids at the birthday party vociferously ask for their hero; Tree Man instead of the original He-Man. He-Man was very popular in Italy too at the time, it was not an obscure reference that needed any adaptation - not that there is or was any character named Tree or Tri Man in Italian pop culture.

Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the bandit shoots Van, and he quickly counters using his weapon, behind the bandit you can see the corpses of the other villagers; amongst them, look at the one who died with his back against the casket ending up in a sitting position. His legs go towards his right, in the previous and following part of the scene they are straight. (00:02:25)

Character mistake: In the Countdown to Hope storyline, at the end of the Chapter EX, Ash Crimson tells Elizabeth post stage 5 "I'm sorry, but now I have this power now."

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: Ray answers the phone getting a momentary break from Peter's questioning. He picks up the receiver holding a pencil between index and middle finger, but when the camera angle changes the pencil is gone, and he later picks it from the book on the desk. (00:14:35)

Revealing mistake: The Ghostbusters' containment unit explodes with a sinister beam that blasts through the rooftop. In the shot with the camera at street level showing New Yorkers running scared, you can see a blatant light 'halo' around one of them as by-product from the optical effect. (01:08:00)

Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Van pretends to surrender to the three armed marauders. There's a close-up of a revolver inside a casket.The revolver lies practically in front of the adjoined hands of the dead person. In the wide shot from above it is resting on the side of the flower bed instead. (00:01:50)

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.
