Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: When the protagonist drives through Las Vegas and then to the airport, all the reflections in his car window are tacked-on post-production effects (obvious lens flare, images superimposed on the frame, etc). (00:03:50)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: The pilot wakes up in a cold sweat and (without a change of clothes) starts putting on some pants and shaving. As he shaves, he puts on in close-up his shoes. Not only the shoes were nowhere to be seen (and the razor is on a short cord) but now he has socks too. (00:02:45)

The Son of the Sheik mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During the final chase between the son of the Sheik and the evil oil company henchman, Tomas Milian is replaced on the speedboat by a stuntman wearing a bad wig in some shots, and in other shots by the cutest little puppet that rides the cutest little toy boat. (01:23:00)

College Kings

Bug: When Josh asks you by phone to meet Amber and her other rather available friend, the screen is not locked, so you can change screen and avoid replying him entirely, but the game treats it as if you did and you are meeting him anyway. The option to reply through the phone is still there anytime days later, obviously to no effect. Normally the game forces you to reply before you can move forward.

College Kings

Revealing mistake: When the protagonist is in the school library, the shelves have always the same few textbooks with easily readable titles spammed all over the place. Using generic nameless books would have avoided the problem easily, this way it is obvious to the point of being distracting.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Factual error: At cost of stating the obvious; nobody is allowed to enter the pitch on a whim from the stands, even going as far as hitting a player kicking the football at them, it's pitch invasion. Nobody says anything about it and the referee is mysteriously absent though.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Yayoi thanks Tsubasa for scoring, a kid behind her is holding a towel over his head to protect himself from the rain. His white towel and green T-shirt become a yellow towel and plain white tee in the next. (00:21:15)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Other mistake: The physics in Tsubasa failed attempt at scoring are pretty zany; his body is inconsistent positions as he tumbles after the tackle, and then from the prone position in the mud he is able to dive in midair beating a player that properly ran and jumped to hit the header. (00:17:25)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Character mistake: Tsubasa loses the ball botching the control with his chest, and the announcer says that Nankatsu is in danger, caught by surprise and need to pull back. As he says that, the images show 5 defenders perfectly placed in the penalty area and the team not off balance at all. (00:14:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Other mistake: Tsubasa is way behind Misaki and coming in at a slower speed, but somehow Misaki throws a deep ball to him - and Tsubasa almost catches it! It's impossible to do that in the way shown. (00:13:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: There are two rather blatant mirrored shots showing the Nankatsu supporters before the second half starts - no way to Miss the guy with the odd green hat and the colorful screamer by him. (00:10:30 - 00:11:40)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Audio problem: Yayoi knocks down the Nankatsu flag by accident. She puts it back in planting it in the soft grassy ground...with a clunking noise. (00:07:25)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: The manager picks in the basket the sweaty towels each Nankatsu kid used, but when the coach tries to pep talk them, the basket is empty like at the beginning of the scene. (00:04:50)

The X-Files Game (1998)

Audio problem: You can take a snapshot any time with the in-world camera. It does not make much sense, considering that you can do that during videos that are shot in 3rd person instead of the standard 1st person perspective. In other words, you can take pictures of yourself that are not selfies and nobody could have taken them. If you can suspend your disbelief about it, there's still a glaring glitch; when you view the pics you took, the audio output at the time was saved too and plays again.

Other mistake: After the intro, one girl in the bar peeks from the window and goes; "Say, here comes Gordy and Jennie." And indeed the duo is getting off the car and joins them. The problem is, the window is on the opposite side of the entrance and there's diegetic music playing throughout the scene. In other words, she saw them parking to the left, but in a split second they are coming through a door on the right. (00:02:40)
