Continuity mistake: When somehow Tuba manages to ask Joanne out, he at first tries to come up with excuses and talks to himself. She overhears him and folds her arms; the way the arms cross changed after it cuts away for a second. Even more noticeably, throughout the conversation she holds the clipboard with a sheet that goes across or does not, depending on the camera angle. (00:51:40)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Tuba and Cheung's partner and bait tells them that they have to arrest anyone who dares to come close to her. During the scene you can see the name tag is heavily tilted under one camera angle, totally straight in the reverse. (00:46:05)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Standing up, Cheung bumps the rather oddly light desk, and his commander gets his nasal stick up the nostril. Brief cut to Cheung, and the coffee cup which was standing straight earlier toppled with a delayed reaction. (00:44:25)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Tuba bellyflops the crazy guy into submission, Cheung is facing opposite directions in the two separate shots. (00:43:05)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Tuba beats up the unarmed crazy guy. Meanwhile, the one with the cleaver pins Cheung down and threatens to chop him. In the shots with the camera to Cheung's left, the broken vase is gone from the hood of the car, and is still there in the others. (00:42:45)

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 3 - S1-E25
Plot hole: An additional plot twist of the episode has the Puppeteer from the Hell as the mastermind behind the operation. What does not make sense is the fact that he regularly visited the killer in prison showing his face fully in the open. To make it even more ludicrous, the next episode shows that he needs to constantly wear a mask because he's wanted by the police, and he is on the run. Previous episodes showed already without a doubt that the police had all his data and pictures.

The Game Mansion Murder Case File 2 - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: When the contestant drops her ramen bowl and chopsticks, the food, the bowl and the chopsticks are in different positions throughout the rest of the scene. (00:08:00)

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 2 - S1-E24

31st Mar 2022
Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 1 - S1-E23
Other mistake: When the guy who keeps crying tells Kindaichi the name of his mother, he regains his missing tooth just for a shot. (00:16:15)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Tuba receives a call for the disturbance at the asylum. Cheung runs to the crime scene first. There are two girls to his left that point at the scene; in the opening shot they run off instantly, in fact facing away from it, but in the front view they are still there pointing - both times Cheung goes past them. (00:41:10)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Other mistake: When Rambo gets killed, the lethal shell comes out of the right barrel, but in the earlier close-up on the villain gloating after maiming Rambo's legs, the right barrel was the one that already fired, smoke coming out of it. (00:32:40)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Revealing mistake: When the bad guy shoots Rambo in the leg (s), you can see the squibs detonate a split-second before the gun fires. (00:32:35)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Rambo disposed of the underlings, but a stronger opponent shows up. He sends Rambo reeling back against some drums, and raises his leg. In the next shot, his heel kick hits the drum, but A) the drum is not the same B) the distance is wrong, and judging by the first shot he would have dropped the heel on Rambo with no problems. (00:32:00)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Revealing mistake: The money delivery went awry, and Rambo is fighting the bad guys. He subdues one in armlock, but another charges at him using a lead pipe like a spear. It is rather obvious that the weapon is miles away from connecting to David Chiang's face, but the sound played is one of a hit, and he acts like that. (00:31:30)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Rambo and Cheung sit down to begin explaining Tuba the situation, the lid on the instant noodles cup closes slightly on the second shot. (00:22:10)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: In her first scene at the store, Joanne wears a sweater tied on her front. When she looks at Tuba picking cereals, it is tied in a different way compared to the rest of the scene (the sleeves are evenly matched, while elsewhere one is very short). (00:18:25)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Scene with the new store manager and love interest; Tuba pantomimes 'testing the water in the shower'. He puts his hands in his pocket when he realises that someone is glaring; that's in the first shot, because his hand is frozen in mid-air in the next shot instead. (00:18:10)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Revealing mistake: The chairman parks his car in front of Bel Fuse Ltd. And goes upstairs. His car explodes, but does it in front of a different building, probably switching to a stage building front; the metal doors don't have vents anymore and there are visible join lines in the asphalt and the cement. (00:15:10 - 00:15:40)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When the assignment officer puts the papers inside Cheung's holster, he reaches for the holster (and grabs it) twice. (00:14:50)
