Continuity mistake: David goes downstairs and finds out about his surprise birthday party. The tape recorder and the other objects on the table change position between shots around the ugliest cake ever. (00:05:25)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Other mistake: The police is searching the crime scene of the supposed suicide. The police was alerted because the suicide happened by drowning, leaving the bathtub running till it overflew alerting the other people in the building. The body of the victim is still completely immersed in the bathtub (nobody drained it), and Kindaichi and Aoi walk on a dry floor while there should be a massive flooding.

Stupidity: The finale is sweet, but also the ultimate stupidity; there was a recording of the victim completely discharging one of the suspects from any blame, the recording was in one of the key evidences found by the police and used in the trial, but nobody ever played that recording. At least two families have to sue the State for a horrible job.

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22

Other mistake: When Kindaichi shows his phone with the incriminating evidence, the phone's charge is at 60%, exactly the same charge it had last time we saw the same phone screenshot for the same purpose in the previous episode. Mere minutes later for the bathtub demonstration Miyuki calls him and the phone is charged at 80%. (00:07:50)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22

Stupidity: The denouement in this episode does not make any sense. Two characters (the lawyer, the victim's sister) are suddenly present on the scene for the climax, but they were never invited and if they were at the hospital in the corridor right at that moment, Busujima could not sneak by Kenmochi's room. Later Kindaichi gingerly explains the rest at the other crime scene, which is in a different building somewhere else in the city - and they are all physically there, even the patients in their hospital gowns and slippers, it's not a dramatic rendition.

Continuity mistake: David Chiang chases the man in a purple dress at the 1985 Hong Kong Marathon. He fires a warning gunshot; if you look at the guy in the back of the pick-up that the criminal is about to hijack, he lets go off the bar twice in two different shots. (00:02:35)

Continuity mistake: When Marisa tries to save the hero by telling an old lady to move her car, the window is all the way down looking in, an inch raised looking out. (01:23:05)

Stupidity: Ramon's tail is strong enough to practically pancake a big limo, but at the same time David is hit by it, thrown against a solid brick wall, and is completely fine. (01:22:20)
