Continuity mistake: Poirot met Ariadne Oliver who invites him to the "murder hunt." Poirot and Hastings then get on a boat to head there. As they sit on the boat, there are a few extras, led by an easily identifiable lady in a yellow sweater, that move up the stairs of the pier and reach the top. The boat slowly takes off, and about 10 seconds later we see the pier again, with again those same people from before just reaching the top of the stairs. (00:02:25)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Factual error: On the train, Franklin Clarke is perusing the racing news. The episode is set in 1933, but the horses mentioned in the page he's reading, such as Astley Wood, Garcette, Incense Boy, were active only years later, racing in Bath (the programme he's looking at) in 1938-39. (00:34:00)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: After the arrest of "ABC" and a brief scene with the interview to Betty's family, there's a prolonged close-up of a newspaper with the date "24 April 1933." Besides the article on the serial killer, there's a headline that says "German ministers in Rome - Uproar as Strong Arm men pack benches." The body of the article though talks about the Persian parlament, and the prime minister mentioned is "Dr. Mossadeg." Mohammad Mossadegh's public office as PM and his visit in the US mentioned in the article happened in the 50s.

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Poirot is talking to the owner of Twinkle Toes and confirms that indeed the victim was strangled with his merchandise. The man listens with his fingertips adjoined and pointed towards Poirot, but when it cuts to his response ("Poor kid") his left hand is partially in frame and in a different position altogether. (00:17:50)

Factual error: When Patrizia Reggiani signs cheques on her father's behalf, the bank that issues them is "Banca di Credito Colli Briani." Reasonably enough, is a completely made up name for a bank, but also bizarre because "Colli Briani" would be a toponym ("Briani Hills") but does not match any name in Italy - at most "Colli Briantei", which would be the Brianza region, not far from Milan where the story takes place. No other names of places or people in the rest of the movie are fictional. Moreover, the cheques don't have the number of the account they are associated with, and they are out of order. (00:03:40)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi wakes up from the flashback/dream, Miyuki stares at him with her fingers along her cheek or closed to a fist. (00:21:00)

Sammo ★

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: 14-years old Kindaichi comes up with the solution of the case but gets interrupted as he is about to utter his catchphrase. In the scene, the bookmark is in the top half of the book next to him, the bottom half when we see his mother scolding him. (00:12:00)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Other mistake: Kindaichi is watching poolside the athletes on day two. He is sitting cross-legged, but his right foot is drawn wrong and the toe is twisted in an impossible position. (00:08:10)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: In the scene with two swimmers having a physical altercation, the bag of 'the ripper' is in a different spot on the bench between shots. (00:05:30)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the flashback from three years prior, Miyuki pounds the top of Hajime's head with a righteous fist. At the cut, he has his left hand up, while in the first shot it was lowered. (00:03:15)

Deliberate mistake: It's a humorous twist that Randy's killing is covered up by some random guys passing by with a ghetto blaster, but there was dead silence when Randy was talking earlier; not being in frame does not block soundwaves. (01:05:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Randy is jumpscared by the guy playing football (something the killer couldn't predict), in the aerial shot the football dude is standing on the crossroad that is fully in the shade instead of partially in the sun like before the cut. The two girls Randy harassed are also gone from their spot, which means in 5 seconds they packed their books and stuff they had laid out in front of them. (01:03:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the cameraman says he's "one verb away from vacating these premises", there's a blonde with a green backpack walking left to right in the background. The same blonde appears two shots later behind Randy, who is further to the left than Joel. (01:01:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Dewey says that it does not make sense that the killer, who at this point is characterized as a copycat of the Woodsboro team, attacked Sidney. Actually that's exactly what happened in the first Scream; after Casey and her boyfriend, Ghostface tried to kill Sidney. Dewey should know since he was the first responder on that call doing a puppet show at the door, and it's not only amazing that he wouldn't remember, but also that nobody corrects him and that they haven't run a timetable of the previous events at all. Of course in the end the pattern does not matter just as Dewey later says, but up to that point, the killer was following it to a T, so they are reaching the conclusion too early and against the evidence. (01:01:00)

Continuity mistake: During the Top Gun scene, Derek steps on the table where Portia De Rossi and the other sorority elites are having lunch. You see her fetch from the table the Pepsi can, but then she holds it at a different height at the cut. (00:48:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Ghostface tries to kill Sidney by the front door of the sorority house, and the pendulum clock shows it's 12:10, which fits also the timeline with CiCi's murder. Running away from him though, Sid passes by a mantle in the party room that has a clock that strikes 10 to 7. (00:39:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Sidney answers the phone at the sorority, look at her sheer top under the jacket; reaches almost the neck (you can backtrack the moment when it rose from its optimal fit; she put the jacket in the same take and that ended up pulling the underneath garment a bit). At the next cut, the top rests lower as it should. (00:39:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: On the couch, Cici asks the friendly voice "Who are you calling for?" Notice the way she holds the phone, and how her middle finger is on top of the last two fingers. It's tucked back in the close-up ("What if I say goodbye?"). (00:30:25)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2

Stupidity: When Akechi tells his men to look for Kindaichi in all the possible places where a person might hide, Kindaichi with his bright yellow shirt is behind a metal staircase 2 meters away from him - a metal staircase with gaps between the steps, and some of the policemen are facing him. (00:20:15)

Continuity mistake: When Ponty wishes Miss Jones luck at the bowling tournament, she stops and turns. She also happens to hold her notepad in completely different ways in the two shots. (00:36:50)
