Mandy, the Flight Attendant: I'd love a chance to see what you do in action.
Magnum: I don't whip off my glasses and run into the phone booth, if that's what you mean.
Higgins: Not if it's a pay phone, anyway. (00:10:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Higgins: Certain past indiscretions...Various incriminating lapses noted in my log...
Magnum: Higgins. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that you can tell Robin that he doesn't already know. That we haven't laughed about together.
Higgins: The potato chip heiress from Buffalo who filled the tidal pool with...
Magnum: A little misunderstanding, Higgins, after it was drained.
Higgins: And then there is the Romanian mime troop who...
Magnum: Y-...you're not going to bring that up, I mean, Higgins, you were there when the paramedics arrived! You know!
Higgins: I will take note of the panic in your voice and those guilt-crazed eyes as a scent to my favor, albeit with the slightest reluctance.
Magnum: Wait a minute! This isn't a favor, this is extortion! And blackmail!
Higgins: I prefer to consider it a gentlemen's agreement, though under the circumstances the term is misused. (00:13:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Magnum: A - ha! You violated my privacy!
Higgins: Nonsense. I was retrieving Mr. Masters' wide-angle lens which you borrowed three weeks ago and typically neglected to return.
Magnum: That doesn't give you the right to remove my possessions!
Higgins: I consider this contraband and therefore subject to confiscation.
Magnum: As long as there are dogs threatening my life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I will...No, I must, I MUST protect myself! It is my constitutional right!
Higgins: Very well. I will inform Mr. Masters that you feel within your constitutional rights to use dog repellent on the lads.
Magnum: Hey, hey, hey, Higgins! No sense bothering Robin with a little household problem. (00:04:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Higgins: Magnum, l must say, l'm impressed.
Magnum: With my dictionary?
Higgins: No, with your living quarters. They're actually tidy.
Magnum: Don't act so surprised!
Higgins: Where is all the...usual unpleasantness, the abandoned bits of food and drink, the soiled garments, the sundry unidentifiable artifacts l expect to find when l walk in?
Magnum: A-HA! That is precisely my point. You *expect* to walk in. Higgins...l don't walk in on you, do l?
Higgins: Of course you do. All the time, as a matter of fact. But I look upon it as one of life's little unpleasantries, like a minor rash or an ingrown toenail. (00:04:25)

And Then There Were None (2015)
Plot hole: There are several parts of the murderer's plan that are based on pure convenience and/or against all odds, moreso than in the novel due to particular choices in the aesthetics or plot. The murderer (who can't exactly sprint around with cat-like motions) gets to the General and kills him in a gruesome manner, reaching a victim entirely in the open, with the island lacking any cover, not even a tree. Vera happens also to scream providing a diversion; unlike the book, the killer does not do anything to induce her hallucination and split the group, nor sabotages the lights creating a dimly lit environment that makes the trick more plausible.

Ten Little Indians (1965)
Continuity mistake: During the introductions, Ilona Bergen exclaims; "How awesomely marvellous" with Blore casting on the wall by her a Hitchcockian-esque shadow with his profile. The shadow comes from nowhere, since the previous shot of the room lacked that and the other shadows (like the vase's) are unchanged. (00:06:25)

Soshite, daremo inakunatta (2016)
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The characters are looking at the Ten Little Soldiers. When one of them (playing the role of Blore) is banging on the glass, you can see the hands of the mystery writer ("Lombard") leaning against the base. He's leaning on the top of the display case in the next shot. (00:22:10)

Rising High (2020)
Continuity mistake: During the introductory meeting with Nicole Kleiber, her glasses on the desk switch back and forth between open and folded. (00:26:20)
17th Jun 2020
Microbe & Gasoline (2015)
Continuity mistake: Théo shows up in class unannounced. The teacher tells him to sit next to "that girl", mistaking Daniel for one. The classmates of course have a cackle at that; the girl at the desk behind Daniel's laughs holding a pen in her left hand at first, right hand at the cut. (00:08:50)

Personal Shopper (2016)
Continuity mistake: Maureen spent the first night in the spooky house, without conclusive results. They are meeting the prospect buyers in a bar. When Lara walks up to them and begins the conversation, the arm position of the man changes wildly between shots several times at every cut. (00:08:40)

Slow Local Trains (1960)
Revealing mistake: Louis de Funès tries to squash a bug that was alive, well and moving in close-up, but is obviously fake and still in the next shot, in a different spot from the close-up too. (00:03:30)
17th Jun 2020
Le Sorprese dell'amore (1959)
Continuity mistake: The car is out of gas, and Sylva Koscina gets impatient. As the shot changes, Walter Chiari's arm is on top of the car door (it wasn't in the first shot) and Dorian Gray crosses again her arms on top of the bag - assuming the same pose she already had. (00:17:00)
