Visible crew/equipment: When Sydney taps the shoulder of the baddie who nearly disarmed Nigel, a strong light is cast on his face just before the cut. Nobody was supposed to point a flashlight or a torch at the fight. (00:38:15)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney Fox retrieves the parchment with the map, she holds it differently (probably turned 180°) between the close-up and the reverse shots. It also should be noted that the world-class archaeologist just casually dumps on the floor like a piece of garbage a ornate XVI century flask. (00:23:50)
19th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Nigel wonders why prisoners write on walls. He moves the flashlight from the left hand to his right. When he walks back and the shot changes though, instantly it is back in his left. (00:22:10)
19th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Nigel accidentally (unconvincingly so) steps on the Beautiful Nun 's bathrobe in a close-up. His toothbrush hand is down his hip, in frame, but when they both gasp in a reaction shot, the toothbrush is between them. (00:17:30)
19th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Revealing mistake: In the shot when the captain supposedly beheads the nun, her head flies off, but as the body falls forward, you can see the hood of the mantle that was covering the head is intact. (00:02:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Almost Home - S3-E10
Other mistake: When Magnum passes a can of nondescript soda to Bridget outside of the Navy building after the chat with Maggie, the vending machine has a big triangle of masking tape to conceal the Coca Cola logo for sponsorship reasons - however the production failed to cover the Sprite button which remains recognizable. (00:13:00)
17th Mar 2020
Flirting with Flamenco (2006)
Deliberate mistake: When the police blitzes the "traditional English breakfast" joint, in the background the menu display advertises "Omlettes", and in the close-up on the owner you can read the word "Mashrooms." It's surely deliberate to show how the joint is not exactly ran by purebreed English people - although it should be noticed that there is an inconsistency with previous scenes when the board was different, and even the word "Mushrooms", handwritten, was spelt correctly. (01:23:00)

A Simple Favor (2018)
Continuity mistake: The bloodstain on Sean's shirt is different between the close-up when Stephanie checks on him and when he stands again. (01:45:50)
15th Mar 2020
A Simple Favor (2018)
Continuity mistake: In the opening shots of the funeral, Stephanie is holding her son's hand in the first, and his shoulder in the second. (00:41:25)
15th Mar 2020
Super Robot Wars V
Other mistake: One of Ersha's quotes on a successful evasion is "Hehe, where you aiming at me?", with an obvious grammatical error.
15th Mar 2020
A Simple Favor (2018)
Continuity mistake: Sean hands the "vegetable smoothie" to Stephanie holding it by the middle, which becomes the top in the reverse shot. (00:30:00)
15th Mar 2020
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
15th Mar 2020
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Continuity mistake: In Hannibal's cell, the distance between the papers and Chilton's leather bag varies without him touching either. (01:00:20)
15th Mar 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the finale, the wet stain on Mr. MacLeish's body changes between the close-up and the wider angle. (00:47:15)
15th Mar 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The clock in the millionaire's limo has all hands (including the second hand) perfectly still. (00:02:00)
15th Mar 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Deliberate mistake: During the episode, whenever daily newspapers are shown, they lack any indication of the date.
15th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Plot hole: Sydney is able to surmise from the artwork (we could also say from the writing, but her rival is one step ahead of her for 2/3 of the episode and it is established that he does not know the language) the precise location of the koi in Lumbini. The map is 150 years old, but there's no way even with a big stretch of imagination to buy that they both'd be able to pinpoint with such ease and certainty its location in the basement of a random building in the bustling market center of a town, that surely changed plenty during the past century and that does not bear any special landmark.
15th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Factual error: On a lorry for Lumbini, Nigel comments about this being his first day of work. Even assuming that Nigel and Sydney met first thing in the morning and they just took off for a flight that was leaving for India really soon, it is a flight that takes 17-20 hours. Even considering the time difference between "the US" (the actual location is never specified) and Bangalore (closest hub to their Nepali destination), it is really a stretch, since it's impossible that he did not sleep during the flight, and of course it's just hilarious that they'd have a chat about it only after an intercontinental flight.
15th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney receives the bowl from Buddha in the flesh (of course she would) her hands are under it, but in the next shot they touch the rim. (00:40:40)
15th Mar 2020
Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When shirtless Nigel knocks some rocks off the Buddha's exterior, he leans back with both arms spread. In the next shot, Tia Carrere's arm crosses with his, but he was on his own, at distance from her. (00:27:10)
