Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: Speed is on the balcony when he hears someone ringing downstairs. You can see on the table a packet of smokes and matches. Speed then tosses the newspaper on the table, gets the door, and when he returns to the balcony with Chaney those objects change position. (00:17:05)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: In a hint to his gambling habits, we see Speed at home marking on the newspaper some of the races. He is wearing a shirt. Cut, and he's sitting in his tank top, the shirt is on the back of the chair. (00:17:00)

Hard Times (1975)

Audio problem: After the flawless victory, Chaney and Speed head via train to Speed's home turf, New Orleans. The name of the city though is dubbed in a pause of the dialogue by a voice that does not even sound like James Coburn's while he opens his suitcase. You can even see that his tongue and mouth don't move to articulate the word. (00:11:35)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: The not-so-friendly waitress tells Chaney he has to pay a nickel for his third refill of coffee. During this bit, the newspaper on the counter keeps changing position between shots; open, folded one way, folded facing the opposite direction. (00:03:45)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: After the cage fight, Chick Gandil gives Speed the money putting it in his right hand. Next shot and Coburn pulls back...his left hand. (00:53:40)

Tantei monogatari (1983)

Visible crew/equipment: Naomi Arai snuck back home from the window. When she walks down the stairs to go in the dining room, you can see on the upper floor wall to her left the shadow of the camera crew following her. (00:01:20)

Panama (2022)

Revealing mistake: The 50 dollar bills that appear in the opening credits all have the same serial number (and you can find online the texture they used with great ease, just like the one for the 20 dollar bills stack). (00:03:45)

The System - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Grant begins to remove the screws from the vent starting from the right side, but the top row is already missing and unscrewing 2 on a single side already makes the vent wobble significantly before the camera cuts away. (00:14:00)

The System - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: Jim Phelps gets the disk system from the locker. He then takes a step back and looks around the room figuring out where to sit to play the recording. As the camera moves to follow, a boom mike gets in frame in the right corner. (00:03:00)

The System - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Jim approaches the secret agent on the usual convoluted way to the mission briefing. The peanut vendor mentions the quarterback, and behind him there is a person walking in the tunnel. Switch to a new shot and there are two. (00:02:40)

The Killer - S1-E1

Other mistake: We are of course not privy to the protocol of the secret service organization Jim Phelps is a member of; however, while he is at his own place choosing at his leisure the team members, Jim to pick Nicholas types "KJ" on the laptop, to pick Casey he types "PK", then to pick Max and Grant he just clicks a TV remote. Whatever system they are using, does not seem to make any internal sense.

The Killer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Jim's pupil and successor Copperfield is poisoned at the beginning of the episode. He screams, drawing the attention of the party guests. In the following POV shot, the guests are standing in entirely different spots in the room all of a sudden. (00:02:45)

Super Robot Wars X

Character mistake: During scenario 47: Successors to the Stars, Captain Nemo has a dialogue where he says "Lend me your aid! Help me defeat Gargoyle and RECUE Nadia", in an obvious misspell of "rescue."

The Colonel's Bequest

Bug: During Act II, you can follow Jeeves as he performs different chores around the estate. One of the things he does is lighting up the candles in the chapel. However, if you re-enter the building, the candles are off again, and will be lit again only in act III.

Street Fighter

Character mistake: In the rightmost part of Gen's stage, there is a store called "Siu Wah Bargagain Center", obviously with a misspelling of "Bargain."

Hard Times (1975)

Trivia: By open admission of one of the original artwork designer Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, the movie (known in Japan as "The Street Fighter") inspired at least 2 of the most iconic backgrounds of the game Street Fighter 2: it is really obvious when you watch the fight between Jim Henry and "the kid", on the docks with a boat in the background much like in Ken 's stage. The cage fight against Henry inspired also Zangief's stage. (00:19:30 - 00:47:50)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: In the fight at the dock where Robert Tessier makes his first appearance, he repeatedly hurts his young opponent letting him hurt his hands punching his bald dome. He parries a kick and knocks the youngster down with a cross. Pay attention to the guys by the donut on the boat; the guy in the mustard coat has his hands on/off the railing between shots. The group of four by that life preserver changes position even more noticeably a few seconds after when Henry gives a proper beating and yells "Somebody help this kid up." (00:21:30)
