Sammo

Character mistake: One of Robert's winquotes is "You're just a bunch of fool."

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The protagonist (Renato Pozzetto) is having an argument with his superior while smoking a joint. He gets back in line after threatening him with a stone; the joint is in his mouth. Cut, and he is holding the joint in hand and putting it only then in his mouth. (00:19:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The protagonist finds out that his wife is cheating on him, and decides to try to dial the killer. We see his phone number, it's 328 241... Later on, after visiting his brother's parish, he tries to contact his 'frenemy' again but the number now is 386 909.etc. He can't have changed number in that short while (and the protagonist wouldn't know anyway). (01:03:10 - 01:10:55)

Sammo ★

Visible crew/equipment: As Abe Vigoda pronounces the last line of the movie ("Take care, my friend"), a boom mike pokes up in full view from the bottom right of the screen.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Goliath's two new friends grab him by the arms and carry him between the horses to escape from the guards; as the bad guys give chase, there's no consistency between shots regarding the shadows; they gallop through shadow areas that are entirely exposed to the sun when the baddies are coming, and vice versa. (00:08:00)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Genzo kicks the ball towards Tsubasa, the close-up shows the leg of someone wearing just thick white socks, while Genzo is wearing red pants that don't ride up that high. (00:21:40)

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Tsubasa 'powers' in this episode get nerfed in the rest of the series; he is in elementary school and yet his shot flies literally miles off to land with precision in the arms of Wakabayashi. If he had this power and precision during a match, he'd be superhuman.

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Plot hole: Once Wakabayashi wins his challenge against the Nankatsu senior students, he instantly is back at his huge mansion to collect Tsubasa's message. Tsubasa was standing just a few meters away watching The Challenge as it happened, and Genzo had no reason to run away (if anything he was supposed to supervise the team during training), nor he's shown doing that. He's just gone, no explanation. (00:15:20)

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Genzo's challenge invites anyone to score shooting outside the penalty area...but we see that at least the rugby captain is standing inside the box. (00:12:20)

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa moves up the ditch with a diagonal strafing. He then answers Sanae's questions but suddenly on that same ditch, by his feet, Roberto Hongo is resting, sleeping. If he were sleeping on the other side of the road (as it seems when he gets up later) then the feet of the characters in that first shot were facing the wrong way. (00:08:50)

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: The international dubs (Spanish, Italian, from what I understand even Arabian) have the narrator say that Fujisawa (which is where the international dubs set the story instead of the fictional town of Nankatsu) is renowned for its football teams, plural. That's not true, since the only strong team is Genzo's Shutetsu, and the competing team in the local derby loses 10-0 to them, and the prestige the city has comes from their victory in the previous championship tournament.

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The inside of the truck Tsubasa and his mom ride in has stuff that change color/arrangement between shots. For instance, there's a beige box on top of the yellow and blue trunk next to Natsuko Ozora that is gone randomly in the aerial shots and when Yayoi is chasing them. (00:02:40)

Sammo ★

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Factual error: Tsubasa is daydreaming over a picture of Italy winning the 1982 World Cup. The uniform in the photo though has trunks and collars of the wrong color, a yellow that has never been part of any of Italy's sets. And even if it's certainly not a photorealistic cartoon, the features/hairstyles of the team depicted have nothing to do with the winning team; the winning team was not composed of gingers with big perms; the majority had black hair of medium to short length. (00:02:45)

Sammo ★

Show generally

Factual error: During the series it's routine for powerful shoots to rip through the net. Needless to say, that can't happen with human strength. In later seasons there are shots that even leave craters in cement walls. Remember, nobody in this series has superpowers. It's supposed to be dramatic and over exaggerated in how the whole pitch feats play out, but those holes in the wall are real.

Sammo ★

Show generally

Stupidity: Roberto Hongo is the center forward of the Brazil national team, and as we see from Tsubasa's poster/magazine, he did not alter his appearance except for wearing a fisherman hat sometimes. Despite being surrounded by football fanatics, he manages to keep a fairly low-key profile and it's totally not a big deal to have a top tier footballer hanging around the small prefecture.

Sammo ★

Season 1 generally

Character mistake: For being such a football fan, Tsubasa surely keeps poor care of his gear, since he goes everywhere wearing football boots, and the studs are certainly not suited for 24/7 usage on asphalt. Even worse for Genzo, who for no reason walks around the city in his full goalkeeper uniform and boots. He's a professional with a private coach who is very strict. Besides...who would keep goalkeeper gloves off the pitch all the time?

Sammo ★

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: Star keeper Genzo Wakabayashi has a trademark hat with his name and a cool logo. According to his manga character design he was supposed to wear the Adidas logo, but copyright issues arose and the Nankatsu logo is a great substitute visually - sadly it makes no sense, because he is sporting it already at the beginning of the anime and the team with that logo will be properly formed only later in the series.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Max calls himself "a pretty messed up loser-guy", his hand is on his son's chest, then under the armpit at the cut. (02:21:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Since Max renounced his wish, it is implied and shown that he had to give up also all the benefits he gained from his role, still he uses the Marine One presidential heli to get back to land. There's also no way he'd know where his son was, considering that in the lasso's vision he was running on a highway, and he happens to find him at the White House lawn. (02:20:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Barbara reveals herself at the White House and walks towards WW telling her "I can't let you do this, Diana", her left hand is closed or with the fingers straight out. Similarly, Pedro Pascal's tie pokes out at different levels in the various shots. (01:48:50)
