Factual error: On the phone with the private detective, Tony Shalhoub snarls "Everything's old in this freakin' hospital", which is ironic considering just by his bed there's a compact and very modern looking LCD monitor, out of place in a dingy hospital facility in 1995. (01:01:30)

Other mistake: Principal Dwight and Vice principal Stricker are fanatics of the rules and try to enforce them at all times with no mercy. However, when we can peek at the rulebook in Rafe's transcript, rule 52 says "only white, grey, khaki and navy", which if true would outlaw practically half of the kids we see at school wearing pink or yellow (yet they don't get scolded). (00:32:05)

Plot hole: Rafe is not a supernatural being, and besides not suffering any fatigue at all missing his sleep to do his pranks, some are outright impossible to execute and perform overnight for a person of his age (most likely for an adult in their prime too). Covering the entire hall and corridors, plus the principal's office, with post-it stickers requires a ridiculous amount of stickers to begin with, and arranging them creatively covering the whole walls, floor to ceiling, so that they create drawings, is an insane concept. Even more insane when it's the opening prank, anything he does later in the movie including the big movie finale requires less labor and time than his first act did.

Other mistake: When Rafe arrives at the new school, principal Dwight has his arms full of items he confiscated when the morning has not even started yet, very specific and obvious rule-breakers like a skate, 2 footballs and a basketball. So did some dudes just start playing ball and shooting hoops in front of the principal at 8 am in the middle of the street? Who are those rebels? There's no trace of rule defiance early in the movie. (00:06:30)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the principal's lecture on rule number 1, down the street next to the bus you can see a boy with a flashy orange raincoat in the distance. Then he's on top of the school steps as the angle changes, mid-sentence when Dwight goes "You need to respect me." (00:07:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Rafe has just met the bumbling fool that is his principal: as Leo sneaks out of the building to meet them, behind Rafe a girl wearing white and pink is walking past them and getting into school. Several seconds later as the principal has already begun lecturing Rafe, the camera is back on him and the same girl is again walking behind him and getting to school. (00:07:30)

Continuity mistake: When Georgia brings the car to the front door on the first day, multiple continuity issues can be found (the car seems to go much further than it should, her hands get on and off the wheel), the most notable one being her braid that keeps switching between being in front or behind the right shoulder. (00:04:40)

Revealing mistake: When Danny is hacking Twitter through brute force, the code executed on screen is not at all a hacking tool, but simply prints jibberish - actually I googled some lines I could easily pick up without pausing, and they were from a past year finalist of the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest. Entirely harmless easter eggs, certainly not hacking or cracking material. (00:10:35)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: As Felix recollects the time when he and Vanessa were dating, he mentions it happened in their freshman year. The Roxy tweet that broke them up is dated 12 Nov 2014. When they show Felix's report card, it says it's for the 2014-2015 year, so it would merely be a couple months before. (00:09:10 - 00:15:40)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Felix talks breaking the fourth wall about the mysterious, vicious "Roxy", he shows her twitter page. The latest tweet is dated Mar 10. Since the school at that moment still has to issue the report cards for the first semester, it seems a little too far ahead in time. (00:08:40)

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Plot hole: It turns out in the climax of the episode that there are no bullets left in the gun and Miss Fisher knew it. That would mean then that she deliberately wasted minutes with Simon bleeding out on the floor when Chaim was holding them at gunpoint with an empty revolver, for no discernible purpose.

Sammo ★

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Stupidity: Miss Fisher is a cunning sleuth and avid reader, and has to search for a hidden message. Yet she does not recognize one of the most common tropes (yes, back in the 20s already, with illustrious writers as Dumas and Poe using it!) in fiction, aka the "invisible ink", even with a gigantic clue about it. She is uncharacteristically dense in this occasion.

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Factual error: Looking at the lending list card, we see that Saul returned the book on the 26th of August 1928, a Sunday (when we assume the privately owned store would be closed), and more importantly, that his last name changed: from Saul Michaels as he was mentioned in conversation, to Saul Abrahams as it is written on the card. (00:13:05)

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Factual error: At the police station, as Miss Fisher hands the food basket to Jack to walk away with Dot, a wall calendar indicating the episode as taking place on August 11, Thursday. The established year is 1928, so it should be a Saturday. (00:22:30)

Sammo ★

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Miss Fisher reads the newspaper just before the final reveal, it's Friday 26 August 1928's newspaper. Remarkable, considering 6/26/1928 was a Sunday. It's not the only peculiar trait of that first page though, as in the text you can read the name "Casey Anthony" multiple times together with "not guilty" in bold text etc., all parts of a tragic story happening over 80 years after this episode. (00:52:35)

Sammo ★

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Plot hole: The anarchists were alarmed enough by Nina running away to abandon their safehouse in a hurry, but still go through with their plan to rob the bank as planned - hard to see why, since it was a generic bank robbery and nothing about it seemed time sensitive - and look totally dumbfounded by Peter's presence or the fact that it could all be a trap, when it's obvious their plan had been exposed - it's why they left, after all.

Continuity mistake: As the swindling painter tickles/pats the chin of the lady his compadre is snatching the money from, he does that with his thumb outwards or inwards as we switch from shot to reverse shot.

Sammo ★

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Factual error: When Miss Fisher takes the teacup from Hugh to bring it to the housekeeper, she passes by the calendar. It shows December 17 as being a Saturday, not consistent with the year of the show. (00:30:55)

Sammo ★

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher introduces Samson to Jack, the clock in his office shows it's 10 AM. When Senior Sergeant Grossmith is at the phone just outside, the time displayed is half past 8. (00:05:00 - 00:05:50)

Sammo ★

Triangle at Rhodes - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Pamela Lyall is talking to Poirot before his scheduled leave going as far as wishing there were a murder so he could stay, her right hand moves on and off the table between shots. (00:24:20)
