Alligator (1980)

Continuity mistake: Luke Gutchel is at the evil pharmaceutical company. The scientist tells him he wants 'puppies'; it cuts away on him a moment, and the garbage bag has changed position on the cart. (00:08:25)

Stupidity: Wanda's kids when she is possessed by the Scarlet Witch notice that she is walking two feet away from the sink and assume that she's going somewhere, but they didn't react at all to her breaking dishes, staggering, the lights flickering and the lamp moving wildly, etc.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the hero of the movie savagely tortures for weeks a guy who dared to touch his mantle after being robbed, the mustard on Bruce Campbell's clothes changes position from shot to shot.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When we first see Wanda with her kids (which turns out to be a dream, but it's also showing a glimpse from another universe, and it's not meant to be 'out of order or unnatural) she tries to tuck one in, and he refuses. Wanda pulls back, but in the next shot she yet has to.

Continuity mistake: When Strange reveals the presence of the tentacular monster, a person is running across the street behind him with their kid, but they're gone (or rather, several meters behind the original position) in the very next shot.

Continuity mistake: At the wedding, Christine tells Stephen that he "deserves it"; she leaves pulling her hand off his tie, but she never put it there in the first place.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Stephen performs a magic trick very popular at weddings a couple millennia ago changing water into wine; as he does that, you can notice that the barman in close-up is bent over behind the counter, but he was standing a moment before when Strange started the gesture.

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: Akechi learns about Reiko Chikamiya's death from the newspaper. It's not a very respectful newspaper, since at first glance you can see in the body of the article a big "DUH." A column away, you can also read "he's the best running back in the X-league", which certainly the middle aged woman wasn't. (00:15:40)

Lupin the 3rd (1971)

The Man They Called a Magician - S1-E2

Plot hole: Lupin was knocked out by Pycal when he shot him with a gun at point-blank. On the other hand, the 'shield' he used was strong enough to not even budge when Jigen's gun and several machine-gun shots would hit, and sustained the impact of an anti-tank rocket, so the dampening powers of the chemical are pretty inconsistent. It's also completely impossible that it works as shown, unless it also coats the mouth, the nostrils, the eyes.

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Continuity mistake: When the girls go find Megan crying after the first traumatic office encounter with Brigitte, her toenails are a natural pink. Moments later in the break room (and the rest of the game) they have the same black varnish as her fingernails.

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Character mistake: During Megan's first humiliation scene, she internally monologues saying "I can't believe it, he's offering me a promotion." The problem is that the "he" she refers to is Brigitte.
