The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: The sheriff's goons beat Rockford up, and he slumps back against their car. Depending on the angle, his left hand goes inside the jacket or over his right hand. (00:32:50)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: Rockfords drops the hitchhiker at her place, and they chat about going to dinner. In close-ups, Marilyn Polonski's left hand is next to her left shoulder on the car roof; every time it cuts to the slightly wider angle the left arm is placed across, so her left hand is in front of her right shoulder. (00:22:15)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: After he shows the picture to Marilyn Polonski, Rockford puts the picture away into his jacket pocket with his right hand, which turns into the left hand at the reverse shot. (00:21:40)
4th May 2020
The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: In his search for the scammers, Rockford sees a cute hitchhiker. She leans into the car with a shawl in hand. In close-up, the garment drapes in by a whole lot less. (00:20:20)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: Rockford sits down teasing Moss about the beneficiary having to sue to collect. He holds a single sheet with both hands over the desk, but when he answers he has both hands on the opposite sides of the whole folder, flat on the desk. Similarly, later in the convo Rockford says he has a lead, Moss has his left hand on the chair, but is instantly flipping a page with that same hand in the reverse shot. (00:15:45)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: Rockford is at the insurance company. The secretary brings in a folder, Melvyn Moss grabs it by the top, and he holds it by the bottom in the reverse shot. (00:15:00)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: At the airport desk, Rockford does a masterful job impersonating a cab driver. During the scene, his hand is on top of the bag to opposite sides of the handle in shots and reverse shots. (00:13:15)

The Gourmet Detective (2015)
Continuity mistake: Maggie arrives home and puts the shopping bags and her handbag on the kitchen isle, next to her daughter. The handbag rolls sideways, but in the following shot it is straight and with its strap adjusted differently. (00:03:00)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: Jim picks up the heavy groceries bags from the trunk. He's holding closer to his body the one with the eggs and the Stuffin, which instead is on the outside at the next cut. (00:05:50)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Revealing mistake: During the opening set in Switzerland, all the cars have Swiss license plates from Lausanne with the Vaud canton emblem, but every single one of them has them mounted on license plate holders of the wrong size, showing that they all are cars from a different region/market.

The King of Fighters All Star
Plot hole: The KoF97 story mode starts with a double flub; Serina announces that the opening matchups for KoF96 have been announced (wrong year), and in the background there are big screens showing, amongst the other characters, also Ash Crimson, a character that won't enter the saga until 2003.
4th May 2020
The King of Fighters '94
Character mistake: Rugal's comment on the American Sports Team when you reach the mid-game point is that they are diamonds in the rough, and that he looks "FOWARD" to see how far they can get.

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: Jim is at the table of the cafe as the woman he is observing stops the car in front of a building. A man in the faraway shot walks past the car and the door it stopped in front of, but when we see the woman get out of the car in the next shot, the man is just only now entering in frame and moving past the car. (00:02:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: There's a neat and funny transition between the moment Rick tosses in the bin the orange juice bill that he knows Magnum will never pay, and a sponge being thrown into a bucket as Higgins polishes Robin Masters' Audi. The sponge though comes in from the right, way off Higgins' position. It's not John Hillerman that tossed it, but some stagehand. (00:16:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum works on picking the lock to his own home, the plant next to the door is the characteristic Swiss cheese plant; it has 'holes' in the leaves. The dogs arrive and scratch at the door, and the plant is now a different one. The table and chair appear also to have moved - probably it's footage from a totally different moment or location. (00:05:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Plot hole: Towards the beginning of the episode a peculiar arrangement is presented; Magnum has to share the guest house with two stewardesses, Mandy and Suzie. The night of the party, they both go for a swim. Mandy is involved in a shooting, and following scenes include her resting at the guest house. Suzie is never heard from since. She does not have a place to sleep; it is made clear that the main house has not been arranged yet for that purpose, the Brigadier and his escort have to leave first. She is not there in the morning. She just vanishes.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: As he does his Hooker bargain, Magnum takes a sip of beer, held in his right hand. Hooker agrees saying "All right, all right" and the bottle is popping in frame from the left. (00:15:45)
3rd May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The photographer takes shots of the Brigadier on the balcony. The Brigadier is wearing a shirt and pants, fairly casual as expected. When Hooker is left alone in the dark room of the terrorist, he is looking at pictures of the Brigadier wearing a white jacket and bowtie, which is the outfit he will wear at the party several hours later. (00:12:30 - 00:25:35)
3rd May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The creepy photographer guy is taking pictures throughout the episode. His camera somehow reaches everywhere on the estate; front gates, lawn, the Brigadier's balcony, with extreme close-ups and disregard to walls and structures in the way. It's one of those magic movie cameras.
