Queen of the Flowers - S1-E9

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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.

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

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)

Continuity mistake: When Ponch is texting just before Face Time starts, the battery power of his phone is at 21%. The camera begins rolling and on the side you see the charge being suddenly at 36% when the toes are in frame, 37% when the knees, panties and breasts are in view for the first time, 35% for the second boob shoot and 36% again for the last bit. (01:14:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jon fell over on the rainy day and he can't get up. When he blindly goes for his phone, clothes he had on the bedstand (and that he could have put on) disappear between shots, and when he knocks the magazine off the bedstand and the pillow underneath, there is no trace of the tube that is instead perched on it later in the scene. (00:46:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Jon and Ponch are giving chase to the bikers after spotting them from the overpass, they are cutting through by going down the slope, dangerous and steep. Despite being such a daring move, there are already multiple tire tracks on their path. (00:40:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jon is scarfing down a burger at the Tommy's kiosk while Ponch is jerking off in the bathroom. He gets a mess of mustard all over the shirt, down to the belt, and to the pants. The pants stain vanishes right away for the remainder of the scene (but shows up later in another scene). (00:35:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Jon talks to his ex in the pool, she wringing her hair in a ponytail in front of her left shoulder, several times, but in the reverse shot it's like it never happens, the hair every time is still and not being pulled or raised. (00:35:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the corrupt cops are checking out of the (cheesily photoshopped, but I assume it's intentional for comedy) pics of Poncharello in Redding, Kurtz says "It's the only way he's ever going to get clean", talking about his heroin-addicted son. The sentence is a bad, jumpy edit, he's leaning against the chair with his hand in a very sudden way. (00:34:10)

Factual error: The opening of the movie has the two "CHiPs" in two different locations. One is in California, the other in Florida. One wakes up at 5 and prepares for the big criminal enterprise, while the other gets up at 8 for their law enforcement test. The montage shows their accolades entwined. After all, there is a 3 hours difference between the 2 states. The problem is... it's the one in Florida that is up at 5 AM, and the one in California that is up at 8 AM. When it's 5 AM in FL, it's 2 AM in CA. It should have been the other way around, the CA guy being up at 5 and the East coast guy at 8.

Murder in Montparnasse - S1-E7

Factual error: During scenes in the kitchen (when Bert and Cec hire Miss Fisher; when Butler the butler advises Dot about dealing with the hypocrite priest) a wall calendar is featured. It's nice that it shows the month of October, consistent with the continuity of the season, but it's not an October 1928 calendar, the days are all wrong. (00:21:25 - 00:27:15)

Murder in Montparnasse - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the mechanic puts his cheap cigar on the ashtray, it's an enormous, almost whole cigar in the close-up, leaning on top of the matchbox. When it is shown again a few seconds later, it's reduced to just a butt, lying at distance from the box. (00:25:00)

Sammo ★

Murder in Montparnasse - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As Jack and Hugh are questioning the bookie in the bar, Jack mentions he could be charged with murder. The guy, startled, asks "Murder? What?" across 2 shots. In the first, his left hand is under the table, in the second he is holding his hands together as he smokes. (00:09:45)

Ruddy Gore - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: It is revealed that the ghost apparitions come through thanks to projection over falling sand, but that's not the trick used in the actual movie shoot: no sand is falling and accumulating on the floor in the last ghost apparition (when we can see the floor for a while) and in the second apparition (to Miss Fisher backstage) the line of sand was in the wrong direction for it to act as screen.

Ruddy Gore - S1-E6

Factual error: Miss Fisher and Dot browse several issues of Table Talk, an actual Australian publication from the era depicted, and with the exact same font for the header. The cover layout is not at all like the original (it's contemporary and sexier) and they obviously glued newly printed covers to modern paperback magazines, because the actual Table Talk had very limited foliage (around 24 pages) while the magazines shown here are one inch thick. Moreover, a "June 15 1908" edition is mentioned, which was a Monday. Table Talk was a Thursday magazine.
