Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E7

Other mistake: The most the characters do after diving to rescue the suicidal girl is Kenmochi taking off his shirt. Kindaichi keeps his clothes and shoes, and Mizusaki even has his tie fastened as if nothing happened. They all have plenty opportunities to change clothes as they have their full luggage, but they don't, and they are just fine drying out from one scene to the next.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Hayata blindly reaches for the Beta capsule that allows him to become Ultraman. He accidentally knocks it off the building. It happens twice in two separate shots and it happens differently, with either end falling first. (00:20:15)

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: During his first confrontation with the alien, Hayata's pistol shoots powerful rays that don't cause a single speck of damage to the walls when the monster dodges them. They are just superimposed. (00:09:40)

Continuity mistake: J.B. Biggley at the elevators realises he's going to be blackmailed by his nephew Bud Frump. Bud's hands change position on the suitcase throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: There is an executive lackey next to president Biggley that tells Finch he committed "industrial suicide." If you look at the earlier part of the scene when Biggley was talking, that man was holding his newspaper at a different height depending on the camera angle used. (00:06:00)

Continuity mistake: Finch bumps into the president of the company himself. Unscathed, J.B. Biggley tells everyone to go back to work. Finch straightens his jacket, which pops the collar of the shirt out, but in the next shot he's still hunched over with the shirt burrowed under the jacket. (00:05:55)

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

Other mistake: When the two horrible guys harass her, Miyuki and Kenmochi are both drinking wine. Miyuki is underage, and while certainly not technically and materially impossible for someone underage to drink wine even with a police officer present, in pretty much every episode when there's a party it is made clear both in dialogues and visually that underage characters are not having alcohol. They drew the wrong type of glass. (00:08:45)

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

Continuity mistake: Kenmochi dumps two heavy bags on top of Kindaichi, then picks up two suitcases himself; a pink one in his right hand, a dark blue one in his left. When the second mate asks him the ticket, the two suitcases have swapped, and Kindaichi a moment later carries the heavy bags but also suitcases with the same colors as Kenmochi's, which he gave to the second mate...who is carrying a single suitcase, and grey. Later on, we see only those 2 bags and 2 colored suitcases, anything else vanished. (00:04:10)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: Poirot watches Jackie leave the hotel seemingly falling for Simon's ruse. He's having breakfast; when he puts the croissant in his coffee, the hand holds the brioche with its flat side upwards. Ustinov in close-up is eating the brioche with the curved side up. (00:27:00)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: When madame Otterbourne says hi from her natural element (the bar), David Niven pokes his head in behind Ustinov's, but in the next shot he's not leaning in, he's more like standing behind him, straight. (01:34:00)
