Revealing mistake: Virginia before tripping the butler pushes the G button to send the elevator down. When the security guy is looking at the phony CPR scene in the monitor, the elevator is still at the floor, open doors and not moving. (00:34:40)

20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Virginia Fowler is entering the building on her own with the butler. Barker in the security camera footage is holding the elevator key in his left hand, but when the angle changes, it's in his right hand. (00:34:15)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Rick is getting the print of the keys from the geriatric butler, his grip on the box changes depending on the camera angle. (00:31:05)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Magnum is begging Rick for a favor, and finally agrees to his conditions. He says "Will you do me the favour?" and an off-screen crunching noise is heard. But Rick is eating a sandwich, he still has it in hand. Only a second later he puts that down and grabs a crisp, which would make that kind of sound. (00:28:30)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is carrying the box to Virginia's new bungalow. From the door, they look inside and find it all messed up like the old one. Magnum is then consoling Virginia without having time to put down the box. (00:20:10)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with Mr. White, hands raised, for some reason. When the camera is behind Tom Selleck, his two forefingers of the right hand are close together, while filmed from the front they distant enough to keep the index out of frame entirely. (00:15:30)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: The security guy is checking Magnum as he appraises the cutlery and waits with his client for the rich man. And at the top of the frame of the security camera feed...the security camera that is supposedly filming. (00:14:40)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The chauffeur gets a phone call while Magnum and his client is in the elevator. In wide shot he's holding the wheel with the hand at the top, but he's waiting with the hand on 9 o' clock in the closer view, and back on top as it switches to the same angle as before. (00:13:20)
20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The guy on top of the building passes TC an envelope with his fee. The envelop is facing a different direction between shots - it opens with the flap towards him in the first one, towards TC in the next. (00:02:40)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Other mistake: When Hyoga taunts Ikki at the end of the episode, Ikki's armor is miscolored, missing the orange sections on the breastplate. (00:22:05)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Other mistake: When Seiya attacks Black Pegasus after dodging the initial barrage of kicks, his armor lacks the red border on the bracer. (00:12:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Audio problem: Hyoga butts in with "What did you say you just saw, Ikki?", but Ikki was THINKING that phrase about seeing the battle, not saying it out loud - unless he was practicing ventriloquism without an audience. (00:21:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Other mistake: When Hyoga turns around hearing the bell from Seiya, his own bell is miscolored and is white like his armor. (00:21:20)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Plot hole: Changes made in the anime only make nonsensical the mechanics of the fight against Black Pegasus. The villain focuses on dealing one big hit to the side of the hero at the cost of his life, but that big hit happens just in the anime and has no consequence or purpose at all. Seiya collapses later with various black spots from the hits of the first barrage, the one that he thought gave him no damage and went instead under the armor, just like in the manga. Black Pegasus had already dealt his death blow by that time, and what he does in the anime in addition to that has no consequence or meaning.

Continuity mistake: The black spots on Seiya's body change size throughout the whole scene. (00:16:30)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Other mistake: Seiya is wearing the bells on his wrist. The Cloth flies back to him, and magically he's wearing the bells over the armor's gauntlet in the next shot. (00:06:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Character mistake: Kiki says "Oh! He stopped bleeding" when he is in fact still bleeding from the other wrist. (00:10:35)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Stupidity: The 'repairing the cloth' scene does not make any sense as presented. Shiryu cuts his wrists and just pours blood on the armors spilling it before he reaches them (one just assumes that Mu told him off-screen that he needed to bleed all over the armors and not collect it, would have been pretty awkward if he died hemorrhaging before Mu could fetch a bowl), and he keeps saying that he just needs to repair Seiya's armor. Since Mu says that he needs half of Shiryu's blood to repair BOTH armors and he'll die if he loses a third, Shiryu could repair Seiya's armor and go fight armorless - which he always does anyway, he's arguably stronger without it - giving just 1/4 of his blood, instead of dying leaving Seiya on his own. No need to expect a character from a 'shonen' to act logically, but simply a throwaway line saying that he needed to repair his own armor out of duty to his stars or something similar, would have been enough.

Saint Seiya (1986)
Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11
Other mistake: As they are making their way to the designated place, Tatsumi and Saori explain the lovely place called "Murder Valley" is not on any chart, and the locals keep away from it because everything in it dies. They reach it by helidrop and surfing on glaciers. When they are there - in the middle of a wasteland that pumps out sulphur - Ikki is more precise about the spot where they need to meet; the "Shishigabana stone." Seiya and Hyoga wonder where that is, to which Shun simply says "It's a famous stone in the Amidagahara Wetlands [...], my parents took me to that location a very long time ago." It's Midagahara, and if the location is so close to a place familiar to Shun, you'd think he would at least say something. Moreover, it's clear from the rest of the series and manga that Shun is never supposed to have parents who took him hiking - even irresponsible ones who'd carry him near death pits. (00:04:20)
