How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: Poirot asks Dr. Sims "So the Delafontaines, they were dependant" etc., the doctor's right hand changes position between shots, and the hand positions keep alternating between the two versions depending on the camera angle (an item suddenly appears in his hand when Miss Lemon mentions the living relatives, too). (00:26:30)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Plot hole: Can't fault this massive plot hole to the adaptation, but to the source material; the culprit (forgetting the stupidity of writing an incriminating letter detailing the plan to murder someone, and put it in a desk he shares with her) since there are people outside the room that are about to enter, tears the letter in 3 neat vertical strips, rolls them, puts them in the vase on the mantlepiece, and then opens the side door to slip away...instead of simply pocketing the letter and going through that same door. Nobody was going to search him or anything and could have burned it, torn it into confetti, anything, later. It takes way way longer to do what he did, which needed him to stay there in the room increasing the chances of being found out. And of course he and his accomplice do not retrieve the letter after.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Plot hole: To enter Mrs. Inglethorp's bedroom, Hastings and John have to ram the door and certainly break the lock (it is replaced, so there was damage done). The doctor leaves the house very early in the morning just after ascertaining the death of the woman, and tells them he "locked both rooms" (the room has three doors but one is bolted internally, allegedly). But the door was broken, and in fact when Poirot arrives, which is early in the morning, as Hastings went to the village waking him up, he finds a brand new lock in the door. They would have needed to summon a locksmith at maybe 6 or 7 am, to repair an internal door in a country house, and he should have done it on the spot (also, the door frame itself is more likely to suffer damage than the lock itself, no real damage was shown during the scene). The keys are also all in the same bunch and not looking in any way different (one should be brand new and shiny). (00:28:45 - 00:37:40)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Poirot is concentrating in London, making a house of cards. When he says "I steady my nerves, that is all", the 6 of hearts can be seen in his right hand, and he sets it as the diagonal piece. Cut to Hastings, and then Poirot supposedly still has the same house in front of him...but it is not. Where the 6 of hearts was, there is now a 6 of spades, and the whole castle is different, with the cards pulled tighter together. Later he rebuilds the house, and he sets horizontally in the close-up a 5 of spades, which turns into the 2 of spades immediately after. (01:19:40)

Continuity mistake: The bat-signal (or bat-light as Alice calls it) is on a rooftop looking entirely different from the one established in the first episode (from minute 4 on). (00:03:10)
Suggested correction: Yes, because Kate re-designed it.
Ohhh, okay. I must have missed the part when she said she was doing it, my bad. Which episode?
I'll have to look that up, which I will when I have a chance, but it follows in line with the redesign of the batsuit and emblem.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Factual error: Poirot is taking a break from the prosecution' speech and is walking with Hastings, explaining to him Mary Cavendish's jealousy. In the street, they pass by a truck (registration plate MR 5496) that is a Morris-Commercial 1-Ton model. Morris began productions in the early 20s, and we are in 1917 for this episode. (01:17:45)

Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Ranma breaks Shampoo's weapon intervening to defend Akane, the portion of handle left attached to the iron ball keeps changing in length between shots. (00:10:00)
16th Nov 2019
The Left Hand of the Magician - S1-E5
Factual error: The contract signed towards the end is written with the wrong characters - it is missing accents on vowels that require it in Italian "è stabilito", "così." (00:19:15)
16th Nov 2019
Revealing mistake: When Fakrash talks to Harold about the woman that got him imprisoned, Burl Ives brings the 'peacock tongue' to his mouth pretending to eat it, but doesn't. (00:51:55)
16th Nov 2019
Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16
Continuity mistake: When Ranma holds P-Chan and slaps him back into consciousness, his thumb is always on the opposite side of the bandana, no matter which side that is. (00:09:05)
16th Nov 2019
Continuity mistake: Brozzi fills the glass past the point of overflowing, and sips from it. In the next cut, the glass is already half empty. That's some potent sucking. (00:06:00)
16th Nov 2019
Continuity mistake: Harold is driving to the restaurant, but Mr. Fakrash gets to him flying in a weird sitting position. At the cut, the street signs completely change. (00:24:40)
16th Nov 2019
Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7
Character mistake: Zenigata uncovers Elena's arm saying he noticed the mark when she was fighting "those guys previously." Which guys? Her assailant was just one dude. (00:13:40)
15th Nov 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The guests of Styles Court manage to get inside the room of Mrs. Inglethorp and talk to her before the second fatal crisis happens. In the first wide shot you can see Hastings peek at Lawrence and then look towards the fireplace, which is an action he'll do in the close-up that follows - Lawrence does not seem to look in the direction Hastings is checking out, at all, but that is actually a nice touch considering the resolution. Moreover, in the second close-up of Hastings looking at him (the one that follows the view of the fireplace), Mary is directly in front of Hastings, you can see her insignia and arm. But instantly she is shown at the cut, creeping along the wall behind Lawrence. (00:29:00)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Factual error: At the local food store, Poirot is talking with the shopkeeper. In the background are plenty of food packages that show the great care for authenticity that is a mark of the series. I feel like disputing at least a couple; the Polly box with a parrot is a Taormina American-made can that should be a product of the 20s, and the Brown and Polson's Patent Corn Flour has a claim on the box that says "65 years world-wide reputation." The patent is a 1856 one and the annexed name is from 1859 (previous ads with established date show that year as the one they started counting from); in 1917 the box would have not said "65 years", it hadn't even reached 60. (00:19:20)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: At dinner, Alfred Inglethorp asks Hastings what he's going to do after the war. The person to his left is placing a glass on the table. The next cut happens mid-sentence and in that instantaneous timeframe the glass is perfectly still while the wine was still noticeably moving in the previous shot. (00:10:10)
15th Nov 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Factual error: The movie opens with Hastings watching a news film about the "New Flanders Offensive." It says that on "7th June 1917 General Haig attacks Ypres", but at the beginning of the year Sir Douglas Haig was promoted to Field Marshall. A news propaganda reel would surely have called him with the appropriate title. (00:00:35)
15th Nov 2019
Plot hole: There are 17 possible donors for Mrs. Fries. Of all of them, instantly and with no explanation, the doctor chooses Barbara Gordon. She was not the first alphabetically, from the phone call they find out she has a roommate, a boyfriend, she is out for dinner at the moment and is going out of town and of course, REALLY huge warning sign, she is the daughter of the police commissioner (hard to ignore that in Gotham, and Freeze certainly knows him first-hand!). There's no reason why to kidnap her, plenty of reasons not to, and zero reasons given why they did not try any of the other 16 names on the list.
Suggested correction: They did explain exactly why they picked Barbara. The names on the list weren't all perfect matches. They were looking for someone "who's approximately the same weight, height, and female." When he sees Barbara's file, she's a perfect match. The fact that it's Jim Gordon's daughter is of no concern to them, assuming they know it's his daughter since Gotham is said to have a population of 10 million.
You are quoting the movie but then describing something radically different from what is shown (which I understand, since what is shown makes little sense). The list of 18 people (one being Mr. Freeze's wife) is the one that appears exactly *after* he has refined it for "approximately the same weight, height, and female." Everyone on that list should be a perfect match, otherwise there was no point at all in showing him writing F, 5'2", 116 lbs, AB Negative in the search fields and get search results for it. If it's not, he has no way to tell at first glance.

Continuity mistake: Batman is hit by a falling piece of debris as he tries to save Freeze. He seemingly lets just go a button (or something) of the bat-rope gun, since it's still in hand, but a moment later he is dramatically reaching down calling Freeze's name and the hand is empty. He then stands, bat-rope in hand. (00:59:05)
