The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the bag with the crown is back in the hands of the 9 heads of the country, the strings are missing when the elder says "Sir Lionello, please take the royal crown back." (00:15:00)

Continuity mistake: After Jezzie and the principal have popped by the classroom finding it empty, Soneji is pushing the cart outside. Behind him, a couple of kids walking from left to right are walking in the path two guys walking in opposite direction, and they are ahead. But in the close-up on Michael Wincott, the two have crossed the other pair (those walking in the same direction as Soneji) walking well ahead of the others. (00:10:50)

Stupidity: Mr. Soneji's class is so advanced that they use encrypted files to pass each other notes and whatnot, but their assignment, which takes them a long time to complete, is to "find the official website of Charles Lindbergh." Even in 2001 with search engines not quite well developed as they are now, it wouldn't take them the minutes it is taking here, especially with the whole request being designed as a contest.

Sammo ★

Plot hole: The kids in Soneji's class use an encrypted GIF algorithm to pass notes to each other and that "drives the teachers crazy", since they are unable to catch cheaters that way. But how do they do that? Easy, they have a message system in place installed on their workstations, that warns them with a big pop-up that they've got "A new message"! It would be easy to sanction and prevent the cheating by simply removing the chat application, no matter if they use it to chat directly or pass Michael Jordan photos as shown in the movie, which they have no business doing during an assignment anyway.

Factual error: During the movie, Senator Rose's daughter is protected by the US Secret Service. A plot point also sanctions that senator Rose is basically a nobody, he does not hold important roles, nor he was threatened in any way before the fact. His daughter would not be under Secret Service protection then, since it is reserved only to the highest elected officials of the nation, not every single relative of every single House member.

Revealing mistake: During the botched save of agent Fisher, the helicopter with the spotlight is well behind Cross and the others, and yet the light is projected on parts of the bridge who are facing away from that light and in fact blocked by the bridge structure, as if a strong light source was coming from the front of the rescuers. (00:04:40)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The sequence when Tracie is found out does not make sense in the way it happens; how does grabbing someone to solicit a blowjob involve sticking a finger in the ear of the opposite side? Also, the earplug is shaped and made to look like a hearing aid, so the trained agent that she is should really have that as an easy answer when she is found out, especially considering that her hair is short and styled in a way that makes it entirely possible he could have noticed it when he picked her up in a better lit place than the car (in fact she should have brought it up first to avoid suspicion). In fact, the 'sticking finger in ear' gesture makes sense only assuming he did not just find out but had spotted the earplug before. In that case, he could only have noticed before having her in the car, so he would have not picked her up to begin with. (00:04:00)

Revealing mistake: In the van at the beginning of the movie, Cross is checking out newspaper clippings about the serial killer. When they are shown in close-up for a couple seconds, the two leftmost clippings, that Cross took his time to pick and hang in the van, are obviously the same article with different titles (both in a single column strip, they even have the same layout and division in paragraphs, it's easy to spot even if you don't repeatedly watch or freeze-frame to actually read, and you just need to glance to see that they even have the same author listed). (00:02:50)

Hayasugiru 'Sayonara'! - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The Far Eastern Commander rises and tells the Supreme Commander that 70% of the crew is Japanese. Behind him, the person to the left of the frame is of fair complexion, while in the wider shot he had a much tanner skin color. It changes again when Yurika's dad is shown standing; now both people behind Tanaka Saburu are fair skinned, and the one to the right lost his facial hair. (00:04:00)

Sammo ★

Hayasugiru 'Sayonara'! - S1-E3

Other mistake: In the original version, the Supreme Commander of the UE (United Earth) is addressing the assembly in English. Problem is, it's the Japanese version of English, with an obvious non-native speaker, and what he says is sometimes barely intelligible (when he says the Nadesico is "however going to head away", the last words sound like "ho ahoy", just to give an example).

Sammo ★

Midori no chikyû wa makasetoke - S1-E2

Other mistake: Gai and the rest of crew are watching and old Gekigankar episode. The timer on the right corner of the tape goes from minute 49 to minute 52 between shots in the span of a few seconds (with a continuous audio in the background and dialogue between characters in the foreground). Some of the shots in the rest of the episode Miss the hour in the corner at all, and there's some back-and-forth with time (even if one can assume in that case they switched episode). (00:12:50)

Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Discussing Tofu's finances, Akane leans on Nabiki's bed warning her about messing with the poor clueless man. In the overhead shots Akane's torso and arms are drawn much higher than her position should be, as if she were standing by the bed or be closer to it, while in the other views she's on her knees and just leaning forward. (00:06:55)

The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Lupin puts the wedding ring on Rebecca's finger. Right at that moment Zenigata barges in, and a very amused Rebecca begins cheering and jumping excited...with her gloves on. (00:02:30)

Sammo ★

Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Saotome narrates the technique he saw Shampoo perform on Akane, he is holding the tea cup in his hands; hand position and polka dot pattern vary between the two shots. (00:19:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: One of the quotes when Getter Robot receives damage has Benkei say "Get with it, Ryoma. This is hard any damage." It should be "Get on with it, this is hardly any damage."

Sammo ★

Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Akane opens the door and looks into the bedroom. The futon Ranma sleeps in is blue with a white border, but when Shampoo in close-up is snuggling up to him, it's all blue. (00:03:00)

Sammo ★

The False Play - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Brozzi approaches Lupin in the bar, Jigen distances the glass from his lips before the first cut, but the glass is up and tilted towards his mouth in the next shot. (00:05:05)

Sammo ★

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the shot when Luke puts back on the table the double action grapple hook, the large bullet-shaped item next to it changes position compared to the rest of the scene. (00:11:30)

Sammo ★

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Other mistake: In Italy, in a mountain home in the Alps, owned by Italians, Zenigata is using a big bottle of sake to cook. Not exactly what you find in 99.9% of Italian kitchens. (00:07:30)

Sammo ★

Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Shampoo and Akene glare at each other from opposite sides of the room, Ranma has the broken weapon embedded in his cranium, but the other one has disappeared. (00:12:05)
