Continuity mistake: Magnum tastes Kamekona's sauce and says "That's not bad." The big guy lets go of the wooden spoon, but in the next shot he's holding it again. (00:12:15)

Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Thomas holds the picture of the 300-pound tuna when he sees it for the first time in a different way between shots - fingers on the corner, fingers just on the side. (00:07:15)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Higgins to take a left turn. When he adds "Please?", Perdita Weeks' hand is in frame, placed against her temple. In the shots before and after it is on the car door. (00:01:40)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum and Higgins are having the chat about MI6, Magnum's hair changes (random wisps appear and disappear) between shots repeatedly. (00:36:25)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum and Higgins have the exchange with "THE worst apology", Juliett is rolling her shirt back over the injured part twice in the two separate shots. (00:36:10)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Factual error: Magnum comes up from the boat with 1 kg of gold - as also inscribed on the bar itself. Thing is, the ingot he brings is massive; a kilobar, even of the brick-shaped kind, is never as large. (00:34:15)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Kim says "coordinates" there is nothing on the counter besides the open styrofoam box that has been there throughout the whole scene. In Magnum's reaction shot suddenly there's take-away food on the counter. And when he says "Windward side", the paper note has rotated all of a sudden in his hand. (00:29:45)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Lara is telling Higgins about Magnum getting almost married. She is holding her cup in hand, the rim pokes in frame. When Higgins' phone rings and she picks up Magnum's call, Lara has to reach for the cup and only then puts it back into view. (00:21:50)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum visits Captain Buck Greene. Out of the whole lengthy scene, when he tells him "He was kidnapped and murdered", and 40 seconds later "because you have a problem with me", he has a wisp of hair on his forehead. All the other many shots show him with a forehead clear of any hair. (00:19:00)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Thomas receives Nuzo's phone call and reaches for the watch and ring. The watch shows the time; 8:35. Later when he shoots Nuzo's kidnappers the same watch shows it's 2:40. He went straight to his friend's house, not 6 hours later. (00:10:45 - 00:12:00)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Zeus and Apollo are fighting over a towel. Magnum calls their attention and they begin to chase him. One dog, closer to Magnum, starts running right away, the other lags behind to chew on the towel and take it with him. Next shot the dog with the towel is the first one to run after Magnum. (00:10:15)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum steps away from Kim's kiosk without paying, he has two pieces of meat on the skewer, which become just one in the next shot. (00:39:00)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Thomas is talking with former codebreaker Kim Kil-Yon. Kim says the numbers could be "social security", and as he says it he puts a take-away box on the counter, using just his right hand. At the cut he is handing the box over with both hands. (00:29:40)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Other mistake: Nuzo saved Magnum's life in Afghanistan, cauterizing with gunpowder a big deep wound that hit a blood vessel in his chest. Throughout the whole series, Magnum flaunts all the time his flawless torso, with no scars whatsoever. (00:20:40)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum tries to dial the number found on the notepad. In the background behind the wrecked Ferrari there are 3 people. A policeman is walking towards them. Magnum waves the phone with disappointment during a cut, and the policeman instantly teleported meters forward and has joined the 3 other dudes. (00:14:25)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: After the North Korean 'flashback' comes to a screeching halt, behind TC you can see that Rick is grabbing a beer that someone hands him. But who? Nuzo, of course...who is behind Thomas in the next shot, so on the opposite end of the room, and only after another cut walks across to give Rick that beer. (00:03:55)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum in the first chase scene passes a device with "cool lights" to the kid in the back seat, but he's not calmed down by it. The car and the pursuing vehicle leap down a hill, and you can see the trunk of the car is a total mess, bulging wildly on the right side. However, it's fine in the rest of the chase. (00:03:05)

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Factual error: A vital part of the plot's resolution is based on the fact that the reading activity of the brain happens in the right hemisphere, while the dream activity is localized in the left half, making thus impossible to read during a dream. Besides anecdotal experience that says the contrary, this 'fact' is not supported by medical studies, which in fact contradict it. There is no hard distinction, it varies greatly between individuals and even going by those studies who could be seen as supportive of the theory, reading would not be impossible and speaking would be just as hard.

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Remembrance - S1-E1
Stupidity: In this episode wily old battle genius Jean-Luc Picard and amazingly smart human-android Dahj act exactly by the definition of stupidity of this website ("something daft, like running upstairs with a killer behind them, instead of out of the front door"), and even surpass it, because the killers are not even chasing them yet. And why not? Because they are in a public area with a ton of people in the middle of what is basically the capital of the world; no band of kidnappers would attack at that point, or at least, it's way more unlikely. But from there, our nearly centenarian hero (steps away from official government buildings and in a world with communicators, teleports etc.) goes up a ramp of stairs leading to a desert rooftop with no exit and no witnesses, exactly where a group of evildoers would attack - and are even able to cover their tracks up exactly because of this choice. (00:31:50)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Picard is being led by the extremely combat-effective android. She has previously fought off these attackers with ease, and had succeeded again. It was only the exploding rifle that stopped her escaping. Picard and Dahj would rather lure attackers away from a populated area in order to protect bystanders, since the attackers were coming either way.
The slowly-exploding rifle somehow unavoidable for the super-fast android that dies from the barf that a middle-aged caretaker shrugs off would deserve a stupidity entry of its own, but back to the point: if the attackers came their way, they would have never been able to erase their traces by deleting footage, and therefore they would have been the 'stupid' ones. This is pure movie logic and plot convenience, just like the designated victim in a slasher running upstairs rather than screaming bloody murder in the street where they can be helped or dissuade the killer from getting into unfavourable situations.

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Stupidity: Amuro came to the island to respond to an SOS. He finds the pilots, tries to tend to their wounds, they die. He then meets a Zaku pilot that orders him to surrender. Amuro manages to jump on the Core Fighter, take off and then...tries a desperate and very hard maneuver to fight the Zaku, when at that point he simply needed to fly back to White Base; the Zaku could have never followed him. He has nothing at stake, no need at all to fight. And the Zaku pilot even told him that he did not want to fight to begin with. (00:08:00)
