Continuity mistake: When the boat approaches the Karnak, look at Salome Otterbourne; she is standing up in the shot from the right of the boat, she is one of the last ones to do that in the shot from the other side. (00:34:45)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20

Character mistake: Not only the program of the police station computer misspells "Matching" missing the I, but the operator says that the print on the right is Kenmochi's and the left print is the one taken from the device; it's the other way around. (00:19:20)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20

Plot hole: The brief intermission when Busujima meets the 'killer', or at least the person wearing the hat, does not make sense plot-wise and is merely a dishonest way to trick the audience. It's not even something Busujima tells someone, so it can't be characterized as a 'unreliable narrator' device. (00:18:30)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: The lawyer is thrown back by the explosion. Lying on the gravel, hurt, he raises his head in close-up to look at the fire. In the wide shot though, he's unconscious. (00:16:30)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20

Stupidity: Kindaichi has to talk to the lawyer of the case from three years back to learn about the gruesome details of the torture on Marina. However, those would be in possession of the police as well, and he has their full cooperation. (00:11:20)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Busujima is playing with his handheld console inside the hospital room. When he puts the console down, you can see his smartphone on the bed; however, it's behind the pillow in one shot, well in front of it in the next. (00:15:50)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Other mistake: When Akechi drives Kindaichi to the scene of the shooting, the tachometer of his car is set at 0. (00:14:00)

Other mistake: Hajime ends the conversation with Miyuki, but the screen on her phone still shows the conversation going. (00:13:50)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Other mistake: There's a coloring mistake in the glass in front of Busujima in the shot when finishes playing his handheld game and sends the waitress away; the glass is half empty / half full...but vertically. The part to the right of the straw is full to the brim and the part to its left is nearly empty. (00:10:35)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and his friend are watching Tamaki's roaring success with the ladies on his first day of school. At the first cut there are clear changes in their position (just look at Kindaichi's hand). (00:03:50)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Miyuki listens all dreamy to the guy who nearly killed her. When he says that he's been in America the past years, she joins her hands together; she does it with the pinky finger of her right-hand being the bottom finger, but in the next close-up the bottom finger is her left pinky. (00:03:40)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Ferguson and Rosalie Otterbourne say goodbye to Poirot; Ferguson is holding a suitcase in his right hand, but when Poirot says one last thing to them, the suitcase disappeared mid-stairs. (02:17:15)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: This movie adaptation adds an odd bit where an attempt is made on Poirot's life using a cobra. How in the world did the culprit manage to get a hold of a venomous snake, is never explained or addressed and goes against the carefully designed plot, since the culprit would have needed to obtain it through a third party (a member of the staff, perhaps) and that would expose them. Poirot actually says "you found another use for that serpent" but the idea that Simon actually obtained the snake before they devised the plan and somehow just happened to carry it around on honeymoon when the plan for his uxoricide was entirely different and carefully prepared, is even more absurd.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Poirot freaking out about the 7 asymmetrical pastries, in the side view Poirot's water glass is far away from him, past the bottle. It is closer to him, to the other side of the bottle, in the overhead view. (00:12:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Poirot shouts at the ribald kite-flier, he stands up from the chair with his arms close to his body. View from behind, and his arms are wide. (00:17:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Poirot and his brothers in arms are rejoicing after their victorious assault to the bridge. The guy who doubted him gives him a pat on the back. The other soldier switches hands on his rifle, and repeats the switch in the next shot. (00:04:55)

Death on the Nile - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: Poirot gnaws the pearls Cornelia returned and deems them to be fake. He indignantly tosses them on the desk, where they show up in the following shot neatly arranged. (01:05:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Inside the saloon, Poirot says he knows who killed the three victims. Maggie Smith is looking at him, her left forearm raised. In the reverse shot, her arm is down. (01:52:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The 'moray eel' on Poirot's plate is shown in close-up. The garnish is on the left side of the plate. In the wide angles though (and at one point Poirot lifts the plate, so we get a good view) the plate is turned differently, the garnish being on the side opposite Poirot's seat. (01:43:00)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: During the dinner scene when Poirot finds an eel in his plate, the quartet plays a song in perfect classical music, but they are using instruments typical of the local folklore. A rebec does not sound like a violin. (01:42:55)
