Revealing mistake: Fight in the toilet of the Paris nightclub: the presumed Lark rips out the sink's drain and begins assaulting Tom Cruise with it; Walker intervenes holding him, but the nimble Asian does a flip and brutally tosses him to the ground. As Henry Cavill is bent over before being snapped to the floor, on his back, you can definitely see a protective pad through the jacket. (00:31:52)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: Stan is sitting at his desk listening to the answering machine messages and failing to do anything productive. During the whole scene, the handle of his mug switches orientation, pointing at him in every faraway shot, pointing to his left in every closer shot. (00:04:25 - 00:05:30)
12th Sep 2019
Plot hole: When Sylvia gets grabbed in her apartment by the bad guys, she's screaming from the get-go and they are standing in front of the door all the time. So Moby should have heard her as he approached the door to ring the doorbell, the door obviously lets sound pass pretty well since he hears her muffled whimpers a few seconds later even being at distance. Somehow, her making noise becomes an issue only once the doorbell has rung and was a non-factor before. (00:43:50)
12th Sep 2019
Revealing mistake: When Moby and Sylvia have the car accident, extras passing by look into the camera a few times, and an elderly couple does not just that, but stops by Sammo Hung. They are not visible in the next shot (and they should be), but appear again later crossing the street on cue from another spot once Lola Forner has reversed the car. In the very last shot, another extra gets in frame for a moment, then has second thoughts (probably realised he missed his cue) and steps back out of frame for no reason. (00:42:40)
12th Sep 2019
Other mistake: Jackie and Yuen assault the first bikers very fast and suddenly: despite that and the presence of crazy bikers roaming the place, a huge crowd had already time to assemble in mere seconds making an orderly circle around them, no empty spots, to witness the fight and the breath-taking stunt filmed in the wide shot. (00:16:40)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: Thomas comes back to the food truck after tripping. The biker gang leader kicks back the skateboard. You can see there's nothing on the counter in front of David, but when Thomas puts down the tray (should have been trays since he had 2), there's a coke paper cup instead. (00:16:44)
12th Sep 2019
Revealing mistake: As the biker punks roam the streets disturbing shoppers and merchants and endangering people sitting quietly at the cafe tables, the majority of the extras are actually laughing and having a great time even when they are yelling and waving angry fists. (00:14:40)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: When David tosses the skateboard to Thomas so he can start taking orders and serving clients, Thomas backflips onto it. You can see behind him a veggie stand with 2 customers, that have completely disappeared in the shot when he lands on the skate. (00:13:15)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: Yuen Biao by mistake splashes the policeman with his bucket. Behind the officer, the van has very little soapy foam left over the store logo. But once the policeman smears his face with the greasy rag, the quantity of soap has increased, effectively blocking out of the writing. (00:06:12)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: Dave is annoyed by his wife and friends not treating him like a shark attack survivor, and gets up and leave. When the whole table is in frame Kirsten Bell is drinking from her big glass, but the glass is firmly set on the table in the following shot.
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the fish-feeding exercise, Jason Bateman sniffs his fingers and tosses the chum into the sea. Next shot and he has a couple of fishes in hand, and then switches again between a hand in the water or a hand on the buoy holding the live bait.
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: When the daughter of Lucy and Joey agrees to go change her skimpy clothes, there's a single shot of the whole room where Kristin Davis is wearing her hair over her right shoulder. Throughout the rest of the scene, before and after, her hair is worn all the way over the left shoulder.
12th Sep 2019
Factual error: Behind Jack and Miss Fisher as they are waiting to get an answer about the whereabouts of Jane's mother there's a wall calendar that has November 4 as a Tuesday - wrong for 1928, and also inconsistent with the other calendar seen in the episode, in the kitchen. (00:43:00)
12th Sep 2019
Character mistake: When Hugh is talking with Dot making up a letter as he goes, he says that he's been going out with a wonderful girl for "nearly 6 months." This episode takes place merely a day after the previous, which was set in October. The first episodes when Dot and Hugh could start being called an item were set in August. That is nowhere near 6 months. (00:23:00)
12th Sep 2019
Factual error: When Miss Charlesworth asks where everybody has gone and Letitia answers, you can get a good view of her desk, sporting above it amongst many photos also an illustration surely out of place in 1928: the "We can do it!" girl created by J. Howard Miller in 1942 and more or less apocryphally identified with Rosie the Riveter, a feminist icon that is quite specific to WW2. (00:22:10)
12th Sep 2019
Plot hole: Camellia is awake when she is being carried away, and later in the episode she fights using martial arts. It is unclear how even caught by surprise she was apprehended without a single sound being made except two times by doors slamming and not even a whimper...considering she is even not gagged.
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: Dot is going through the agony aunt mail: she mentions the woman with 9 kids who does not want to deny her hubby, and you can distinctly see her put back on the table her left hand, holding a letter. Cut, and that hand is now hovering above the table. (00:19:55)
12th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: During Miss Fisher's conversation with John/Giovanni/Miss Greenthumbs in the building stairway, when she asks him about Artemis he inhales from the cigarette. Smoke is present and visible, disappears in the reverse shot, back to full visibility as the original angle returns, and no smoke at all when we get back to the reverse shot. (00:15:35)
12th Sep 2019
Character mistake: Striking conversation with the inspector, Miss Fisher asks him if he's still thinking about when he kissed her 'the other night'. The kiss happened in the previous episode during a police operation happening at 3 PM. Hardly "the other night." (00:06:40)
12th Sep 2019
Factual error: Miss Fisher wakes up at her usual time (not quite cockcrow), receives from Dot the news of the death of her friend, that she heard on the radio, makes her way to the crime scene, and finds there Jack, who is just at that time closing the victim's eyelids. A little strange gesture to be performed, hours after death. Unlikely to work with rigor mortis, too. (00:03:15)
