Factual error: The cart behind Arthur during his dance for the kids has drawers of different colors. That is color coding reflecting the Broselow Tape, a tool used to measure pediatric patients and give estimates of the appropriate scaling for treatments. It's a system that started only in 1985, while the movie takes place in 1981. (00:28:05)

Joker (2019)
Continuity mistake: In a close-up, Arthur grabs with both hands the gun he dropped and kicked across the hospital floor, but in the wider shot that follows he's using only the left hand, and it's also clear that Joaquin Phoenix's body is turned in a complete different way, with his feet adjoined instead of the open legs seen before.

Taxi Driver (1976)
Continuity mistake: The close-up of the taxi fare meter during the scene with Martin Scorsese's cameo has lighting inconsistent with the rest of the scene. (00:41:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the denouement, Jack is holding the statuette; he holds it by the bottom or upturned depending on the camera angle. (00:45:35)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Nigel spots the skeleton inside the Buddha statue, in its close-up it is lit very differently compared to the rest of the scene. (00:29:30)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Revealing mistake: When the captain shoots the man that flees the scene in panic, there's no sign of a wound, burn mark, or tear on the victim. (00:03:20)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Revealing mistake: In Bodh Gaya, Sydney knocks out Stewie Harper with a straight punch of supreme cartoonish phoniness. (00:20:30)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Amuro does the emergency conversion inside White Base, he is then catapulted back into action. Next to him, the Guntank, that was not there earlier. (00:19:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Other mistake: Amuro and Doan come out of the waterfall charging. Doan's Zaku shoulder-rams the opponent with the right shoulder, while probably he should have done it with the left one, spiked. Mistake, it happens. What should not happen is what ensues later; as the evil Zaku falls back, look at Doan's; the moment he starts running towards the downed opponent, the drawing is mirrored, and literally from one frame to the next he switches shoulder equipment (the shield moves from right to left). (00:18:10)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Audio problem: In the faraway shot that follows the slap Rollan gives Amuro for accusing Doan, Amuro's lips move a second before his voice is actually heard. (00:14:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Other mistake: When Amuro rescues the two pilots, he lies them down on the beach, side by side on what initially looks like a single tarp. Which can probably make sense, but when the first one dies, Amuro runs to the second, and now it seems that each had their own fancy beach towel to lie upon, which is doubtful being part of the standard Federation equipment. (00:05:50)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Character mistake: The whole episode begins with a wrong premise, that somehow is true anyway; the federation has just one Mobile Suit. That's not true, as it has also the Guntank and Guncannon, which engaged Zeon in the previous episode, and still they are not used in this episode, so the plan works as intended. Funny they'd have somehow intel so precise that they can run a commando raid targeting exactly the armor weak spots, but at the same time ignore the elementary facts about the enemy forces.

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Other mistake: After the removal of the second bomb, the squad captain checks how much time is left till the explosion; 8 minutes, he says...as the minute hand turns and stops on 8, with an animation that does not make sense. (00:17:20)
25th Feb 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Continuity mistake: The Zaku hits the Medea in the empty cargo container drilling two sizeable holes, but when the aircraft flies past it there are no bullet holes in sight anymore. (00:10:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Audio problem: The first refugee to greet Amuro has a male voice (original version, but also English dub), but when you look at the figure, it's kinda rounded in the chest and in the next shot when just the legs are in sight, just match the positions of those around Amuro and it's quite clear that 'he' is the one wearing a skirt. (00:10:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Other mistake: The car waiting for Kamaria at the end of the episode as Amuro and Bright salute her, is drawn with or without glass in the windows. (00:21:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Character mistake: Kamaria Ray thinks back of her son shooting at the Zeon troopers with a mental image that is wrong; Amuro was not shooting from the bed, but from the door. (00:15:20 - 00:19:20)
25th Feb 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Plot hole: Amuro flies the Core Fighter to the refugee camp. Taking a plane to get just across a hill is already kinda a headshaker, especially with White Base being short on resources, including fuel that is an issue in this very episode.Anyway, he lands it in the middle of the camp, and the people there tell him to please hide it. Later in the episode, we see that Amuro indeed hid it, in the middle of some woods, covering it perfectly in branches and other things. How in the world did he get the fighter there and on his own did all the camouflage work on the huge thing, is a prodigy of off-camera work.

Coming Home - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When the Zeon soldier enters the refugee camp structure, looks around and starts questioning the kid, the people in the background change from shot to shot. (00:13:50)
25th Feb 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Plot hole: The logistics of the episode don't really make sense; Amuro's home village is held by (literally) a handful of Earth soldiers cut from their main force and that spend their time getting drunk and acting as occupation force, but Zeon has a full base (again, literally, almost) next door that sends reconnaissance troops and even aircraft to check for any activity at the refugee camp. There's no reason why the undisciplined and free soldiers would stay in such a dangerous position where they could be wiped out by overwhelming forces anytime, nor why Zeon would keep a pocket of the enemy forces that they can crush with ridiculous ease.
