The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: There's some sleight of hand involved when Cara gets her cup of tea from the repurposed IG-11. Maybe it was costly to have the animatronic arm working to the point of actually supporting the cup and hand it to her, so pay attention to what Cara actually does; Gina Carano is ALREADY holding the cup, taps the mechanical hand with it as if the fingers just released it from their grasp, and retrieves it.

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Plot hole: When the distress signal is launched, approximately 20 minutes are left till the arrival of the New Republic fleet. From the control room the team arrives to the prisoner's cell with 15 minutes to spare. They lock Mando up, and next time they communicate with their getaway robot dude, it says there are only 10 minutes to go, meaning it took them an astonishingly long time to navigate the ship without being really much closer to the exit, having met no opposition. Then the episode turns into a slasher movie of sorts, and somehow Mando manages to find them separately, hunt them down and as it turns out, not simply disposing of them, but also drag their unconscious carcasses to the empty cell he escaped from. There's nothing coherent about this timeline.

Chapter 4: Sanctuary - S1-E4

Stupidity: The one and only threat for the good guys in this episode is the walker; when the bounty hunter and the shock trooper do their surprise attack to the encampment, they do not try to locate it and destroy it while it's not operational and vulnerable (which they can do easily since they are following its tracks), but they enter a tent the baddies keep their beer in, plant a thermal detonator in it, whistle to call the attention of the guys that are drinking by the campfire, and brawl with them until it's almost about to blow, escaping in the nick of time. If that's not convoluted and nonsensical, I don't know what is; by that logic they could have simply tossed the bomb into the campfire and killed them all just as well. And of course, then they have to outrun the AT-ST, as if that was feasible.

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: During the battle with the aliens, Mando throws one to the ground, disarming him, and gets his weapon. He is brandishing that weapon against a second one, but you can see that as they 'fight' (right after the clash that springs sparks) that his adversary stops a strike that Mando is not parrying (obvious miscue), and then in the next cut the weapon is gone entirely.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Character mistake: Everyone is making a sincere effort to avoid touching the ball with their hands for the whole episode, even to the point of getting in late at school, but when the kids are waiting in line behind Ryo peeping into the classroom, a few of them have their hands on the ball. (00:06:45)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: In the opening shot of the dinner scene, Tsubasa's soccer ball is on the chair next to him and as logic dictates it is below table level. Later though it is much higher. Conversely, Roberto's head in other shots is so low that looks like he's sitting on the floor. (00:04:45)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Roberto instructs the players to take their football everywhere. Ryo is the first to do so, but the soccer balls are in different positions from the beginning of the scene when he started the speech, even if Roberto hasn't moved. (00:02:20 - 00:03:20)

Cop Target (1990)

Other mistake: Tough beat cop Farley Wood in his spare time built a special electronic machine to feed his cat. He needs to take off for Miami at 3 PM. When his cat is eating before his departure though, the clock on the machine says it's "12 AM", which would be midnight, not noon.

Sink or Swim (2018)

Continuity mistake: Felix on his skate jumps over a rolled-up rug some movers are carrying in the middle of the street. He jumps and the street is in the shade, he skates away and the street is full of sunshine. (00:01:30)

Lucky and Zorba (1998)

Other mistake: During the intro, the Poet (voiced by the author of the original book, Luis SepĂșlveda) is frying a couple of eggs. When he does his dramatic rendition though, he moves the frying pan in ways that would certainly spill its content. (00:01:20)

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: In the scene with all the Mandalorians just hanging out at some bar, Boba Fett retorts at Sasha Banks' character; "if it isn't the quacta calling the stifling slimy." There's a cut and his rangefinder is inexplicably tilted forward. It is back to normal in the rest of the scene. (00:06:15)

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Other mistake: Moff Gideon is holding the Child under the threat of the darksaber. He tells Mando "Drop the blaster." Mando killed the two last enemies with his spear (the second one even choking him with it) and went straight to open the door of the cell, no blaster in hand. (00:20:00)

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: After the sequence of the Dubstep Troopers charging with tubes bursting free, the all-female team is in a cargo holding. Fennec says "Cover me"; then she advances walking in two entirely different stances between shots. (00:16:00)

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Other mistake: Somehow during the episode Cara and Fennec, on foot, manage to get to the base at the same time as Mando, who is on a truck. Moreover, Cara is the one with Mando's armor in a sack, but when Mando emerges from Slave-1, he changed clothes, and he's back in full uniform.

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Valin Hess pours a drink to the two troopers. He asks "Where are you from, Brown Eyes" and screws the lid on; look at the quantity of liquid in the bottle. Next shot and it dropped significantly, to the point that barely any is visible anymore in the transparent section of the bottle. (00:25:15)
