Continuity mistake: Magnum shoots at the bad guys who flee after setting on fire the stable of the rival. In close-up, Tom Selleck acts a bit, with an expression of disappointment at missing them and some energetic gesture. None of which happens in the longshot, where he repeats the same action but with no such flair. (00:23:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The baddie is a real sharpshooter and punctures the tire of the jeep with a single gunshot. The jeep's wheel stops its spin in a close-up, but when Magnum gets off the jeep the tire looks fine, and it stopped in a different position - as you can tell by the position of the brand logo.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum threatens to leave, but Adelaide sulks hard enough to keep him on the case. When the camera is on her, the Detroit Tigers cap is reflected in the rear mirror, and it keeps the same position regardless of Tom Selleck's head movements in the other shots. (00:09:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Magnum and Adelaide are headed to her place on TC's chopper. Throughout the sequence, the camera moves up and down but can't conceal that the fact that they are not moving at all and they are just sitting in the chopper, with set lights reflected in her glasses and even the silhouette of the rotor of the chopper, completely still, peeking through the glass.

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Seiya reaches for the Cloth's handle, the box is approached from different sides in his POV. (00:15:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Shaina launches her Thunder Claw announcing the name of the move for the first time, she has blood coming down her armpit. She'll get that wound only much later in the fight when Seiya punches from the bottom of the slope and tears her shoulderstrap off. (00:15:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The octagonal ornament at the centre of the sides of the box containing the Pegasus cloth is considerably larger in the arena scenes compared to the scenes in the hut. Even worse, when Seiya runs away with it leaping over craters and such, it gets even smaller, and stays that way also in the following episode. (00:12:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the Grand Pope awards the Cloth to Seiya, his necklace has 4 fuchsia beads on both sides. When he was displaying the prize early in the episode, his necklace had 3 of those large beads. (00:04:30 - 00:11:40)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The Pegasus armor is contained by a box, metallic grey, placed on a slab next to the Grand Pope. When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, the box appears gold/bronze colored, and when he tells Cassios "I owe you quite a lot of payback", the pillar with the armor is right behind him already instead than the top of the stairs.

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Stupidity: Despite being in training for 6 years at the temple to compete for a magical armor consecrated to a constellation and meant to harness the power of the Cosmos, Cassios and everyone else but Marin (Shaina towards the end) are mistified about the whole idea when Seiya uses it. What in the world have they all been training for, for 6 years, then? Shaina has to be the worst trainer ever. Cassios even calls it a 'superstition', but his master Shaina channels the power perfectly. It's like a Muggle working at Hogwarts and not believing in magic.

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Factual error: When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, it pulses on the floor like it's a beating heart. There can hardly be a muscle twitch in a severed ear. (00:05:30)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the fight with Cassios, blood keeps changing position on the face of the beastly man, in particular on his chin and above the right eyebrow. He also bleeds profusely on his shoulder, and plenty at the beginning runs down his other arm and hand, but there's no trace in any of the subsequent drawings, only the face stays bloodied. (00:05:50 - 00:11:30)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At night, Seiya is startled by Marin's voice and looks at her. There's a table with wine and fruit to his right. A few seconds later, in another shot of the room, the table moved to the left. (00:12:40)
