The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: It is quite evident that Mako's sword does not touch the candle but smacks the table a few inches to the left. (00:17:05)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Rick goes "Hohohohoho!" at Magnum's "I need your help!" passionate plea, both him and TC are sitting in different positions compared to the previous shot - they had their hands in midair and now they have them placed on the table. (00:16:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene at the King Kamehameha club, Rick and TC are laughing their pants off at the whole ninja story. Magnum says "Come on, guys!" and two people - a woman with a blue swimsuit and pareo and a man with a purple tanktop with a large light strip - are moving across the street. Those same extras are recycled later in the scene, simultaneously by the sea when Magnum's story is called 'a little far-fetched' and walking in the club area right after. (00:15:30)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Other mistake: Magnum mispronounces the word 'seppuku' calling it it 'seppuki', prompting Higgins to correct him. He plays the role of the usual Westerner who is unfamiliar with the word and concept. But in the previous season, in 2-9, "The Taking of Dick McWilliams", not only he already had to deal with the prospect of ritual suicide, but he spontaneously mentioned the word himself ("Seppuku? You're willing to let your daughter kill herself?") with the other person simply mentioning a vague 'honorable thing to do'.

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Magnum protests that it is in his "constitutional rights" to bug-spray the lads, his hand is on his belly, but it is on his thigh in the wider angle that follows. (00:05:00)

Factual error: Morris manages to rake up 5 million pounds in cash. Even if they all were £50 notes (which they aren't, there are at least 3 different denominations in the props), there still would be 100,000 of them, much more than what the little bag they empty in 3 handfuls could contain. (01:20:00)

Continuity mistake: When James Coco drops the phone in the pool, there's an underwater camera view during which he barely moves, but he's turned around significantly in the next shot as he tries to retrieve the phone in various slapstick-y antics. (00:14:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Morris shows his client the ad he put in the newspaper, irritating him for the way he keeps bobbing his hand. Seen from Morris' perspective, he holds it with the pinky finger curled and sticking to the other side of the paper, which is not true in the reverse shots. (00:07:15)

Continuity mistake: Joe Lo Monaco is having breakfast with his lawyer, Morris. The banana in his hand is more chewed or less chewed between shots; for instance, after he tells Morris"I didn't fly you to LA to bake in the sun", he chews it till he reaches the peel, but the edible part stick out again in the next shot. Moreover, a new intact banana appears on the tray where he put the half-finished one before. (00:06:00)

Continuity mistake: The driver gets out of the car to see what happened to the man they bumped into. The road worker crouches down with them, but in the following close-up he's standing, leaning against a shovel. (00:00:15)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Plot hole: When we see the murder happen in flashback, the killer stabs the victim wearing no gloves whatsoever, nor wipes the handle. In a very sportsman conduct, the victim also decides not to literally scream bloody murder as he gets stabbed, nor make any sort of sudden, noise inducing movement that would have instantly exposed what was happening. He gives their killer, apparently, all the time to go back to their accomplice before Catherine notices the blood pouring on the floor - how rude of him to silently bleed all over the booth without cleaning after himself. (00:41:45)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Plot hole: The murder happens where and when it happens because the candidate "is a very busy man", and apparently then the best course of action to kill him is doing it while he is casting his vote. At this operation, involving the other 2 candidates for the role, there is no press nor any normal voter, for no reason - not safety since Dwayne was not expected. Had they introduced the rich Victor Pearce as some sort of mobster surrounded by bodyguards, it would have been an acceptable plot idea, but the guy travels with his son as sole member of the staff and nothing about his characterization leads the viewer to believe that the only chance to murder him is for a rotund 62 years old lady in clogs to perform a Metal Gear stunt sneaking in undetected while a priest is facing the other way for 5 seconds and pray that nobody else shows up at the voting booth and all the others are taking their time to put a cross on a piece of paper.

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Dwayne is staring at the boards after his superiors have gone to the church function. He says "JP..." and his younger coworker has his pen on the paper, but at the cut the pen hand is scratching his nose. (00:34:00)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Revealing mistake: The photo from the high school years of Edwina and the candidate is a photoshop Frankenstein where you can see the face of the actress pasted on someone else's head. (00:24:50)

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Other mistake: Days in the series seem sometime to go on for unusually long amounts of time. In this episode, there's the exact opposite; the murder happens at 10 AM (which already seems awfully late for the opening of an election), the police obviously are called right away, Jack and Florence go to the station to discuss the case, and then all of a sudden it's a wrap when Dwayne and JP get back there with their findings. Unless they have searched the businessman's residence for over 6 hours while Jack and Florence have been doing next to nothing at the station, it makes no sense.

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: When Florence "Ehh!"s and "Shh-shh!"s Dwayne, she does it with one hand, which becomes two at the next shot. (00:13:00)

Sammo ★

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Jack receives the photos of both Reverend Matthew Dawson and his wife; during the sequence, the black marker switches hand from right to left, to right again, and is pointing sometimes up, sometimes down. (00:11:20)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: In sidequest 10.4 (the one where he has to restore the temple of Lybra) Carlos says "Let me see think whether there's a good way"

Sammo ★

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Back at the station, Jack picks Peter Baxter's profile off Florence's pile. Action happens in two shots, and the marker in his hand does a 180°; black cap up/black cap down. The mistake happens again later, with Catherine's picture. (00:10:50)

Sammo ★

Murder in the Polls - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: After Judith Dawson's first testimony, Jack thanks her; Florence is just pretending to write and stops, but in the next shot she is back at it, scribbling her pad with the pen. At the end of this new shot, she stops writing, but is writing again in the next, all while DI Jack Mooney talks in continuity. (00:08:55)
