Ultraman: A Special Effects Fantasy Series (1965)
Stupidity: Arashi tells Hoshino through his radio to call the HQ, but as shown several times throughout the show, his radio is perfectly able to do that directly himself. Even in this very episode later Hayata uses the standard issue radio to let the HQ hear the alien's requests. (00:07:20)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Revealing mistake: Several times during the game the name of the person saying a line followed by a colon (so, the basic formatting of the script) appears in the actual line of dialogue, sometimes together with the proper name field, other times with no name field at all.

Appointment With Death (1988)
Audio problem: During the fireworks, Poirot's line about the "nice and royal" show giving him "confidence" is dubbed over, and you can in fact see Peter Ustinov in the shot of the crowd, not saying those words. (01:37:40)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Audio problem: When Poirot stands from his seat after telling the truth about the spider, he looks at Dr. King. Her lips move but there is no audio. (01:33:50)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Other mistake: The spider scene is wildly different when Poirot narrates it at the dinner table (Miss Quinton immediately replies "Oh yes, spiders don't frighten me") compared to the actual scene (she said that replying to a different line). (01:12:20 - 01:33:40)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Revealing mistake: In the close-up of the killer's revolver firing, the revolver is...clearly not firing. It's just the sound dubbed in, but there's no flash or discharge of any kind. (01:33:10)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: During the coronation ball, Poirot explains that the murder must have not been intimate enough with the victim to tamper with the heart tonic. As he says that, his pince-nez are on his lap, but they are in his breast pocket a moment later, and it switches position again when it gets back to the same camera angle. (01:29:30)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Lennox picks the wristwatch from his mother's lap showing the actual events, the natural light of the scene is entirely different between shots - the skirt is sunlit in close-up, in the shade in the other angle. (01:25:45)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Nadine gets up from the chair to confront Poirot about implicating young Ginevra, she puts in a haste her shawl on the plate in front of her, but it's perfectly rolled in during the rest of the scene except another shot. (01:23:35)
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)

22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Poirot in his teatime speech addresses Raymond Boynton, there's a close-up on Dr. Sarah King looking at Poirot defiantly. There's no direct sunlight on her, but then there she is, sitting next to Raymond with sun all over the chest and left shoulder and cheek. (01:19:50)
