Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: A Ghost Runner scares the people having a jog in the park. When you first see this peculiar ghost (who even checks his own pulse, funnily enough) the extras react to him with timing wildly off; the ones further back in the curve react when the ghost has already passed them by, but turn towards the middle of the track as if he were right there. One of the last people reacting is a woman who didn't even make it to the curve in time to see anything. (00:37:20)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: During the sequence where the ghosts knock the courtroom chairs in the air, you can see that some chairs have one leg that looks oddly 'loose' or with something sticking out (as interviews with the technical cast members clarify, each chair had an extension part that went into the floor and was launched up by an air mortar). (00:34:45)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: In the courtroom scene, when the sample of slime begins to bubble and react to the judge's malevolence you can plainly see that an inflatable mechanism situated under the jar is responsible for the wobbling. (00:32:00)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Other mistake: Ray obtained a small sample of slime through a very little device, a sphere smaller than his fist. The slime is brought back up in court as "exhibit F" and it is said to come directly from the trunk of their car; the sample is almost 1400 ml, way larger than it should be. (00:25:20 - 00:29:05)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Stupidity: Everyone laughs off any reference to the supernatural and the Ghostbusters being any more than hacks. However, they drilled a hole that unveiled a literal river of pink glowing goo that is even brought up at the trial; nobody investigates its origin or acknowledges the fact, which is exceedingly absurd since it involves heavy pollution of the underground system of a metropolis.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: The prosecutor interrupts Tully being fed every line saying that he's "leading the witness." She leans on the table, but before the cut ("Mr Tully...") you see her pull back and begin to raise her hands. Next shot and she is still palms flat on the table. (00:30:25)

Other mistake: Malt's Link Attack menu misspells "The others' link attack gauge", writing "the other's" instead.

Solitary Fighter

Other mistake: The ending messages begins like this; " You agained a victory again, now your tires body needs a rest." Amazingly enough, the rest of the message is correct, even with awkward sentence construction. The credit roll ends with "Thank you for the playing."

Shining Song Starnova

Plot hole: In the common route, Mariya explains that in her former idol group, Quasar, "Your dance position has nothing to do with skill. It's based on a popularity poll." However multiple times in different routes and parts of the story they cross paths with Kaori ignoring who she is. She is number 5 of Quasar, the overwhelmingly most popular group in Japan. It's absurd they wouldn't know one of the most popular performers of their industry, and direct rival.

Fetish Locator

Other mistake: When you watch the winning shot of the first challenge on day 1, the photo does not match what was shown when you were peeking at Min performing the act below the desk on her boyfriend during the lecture.

Other mistake: In the Master System version, the ending screen misspells the name of the villain Gozer in "Gorza", and calls New York a "MeTOROpolis." Also, the Ghostbusters are rewarded with 5000 $ for saving the whole 'metoropolis'; they did receive that sum in the movie yes, but for capturing Slimer at the Sedgewick Hotel.

Gun x Sword (2005)

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."

Continuity mistake: During Oscar's physical, Ray is holding the recorder in his right hand, then as the camera switches to the reverse angle his tape recorder is in the left hand. (00:16:50)
