Revealing mistake: The moment Magnum hops on the Ferrari ending the brawl on the beach with the two goons in ski masks, parallel to the tire tracks in the sand you can see others from a previous take. (00:23:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: In Magnum's close-up as he looks at The Black Orchid, the scar prosthesis has a visible contour. (00:05:30)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: At the pork processing plant, a close-up from an Italian newspaper "Corriere della sera" shows news from November 18, when it's established from previous conversations that the killer was captured on November 30th, so it should be a December newspaper. (00:53:00)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: In the close-up of the supposed killer updating his album with the obituary of the politician murdered on air, amongst the listed surviving family members of the male politician there's also a husband. Not quite likely. (00:28:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: When the mistress is burnt alive, she does not seem all that bothered, and simply pulls at ropes blatantly too loose to hold her, which constrain her just at her neck - in fact she pulls at them so weakly probably to avoid ruining the prop. It should also be noted that it's a normal rope, and yet it's perfectly intact after the fire that devastated her face and coat. (00:16:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: When the prostitute is grabbed by the villain, he stuns her with a smack on the top of the head, since the strangling did not seem to work all that well. Thing is, she goes limp only a second after the sonic boom of a sound effect. She also somehow stays perfectly straight against a tree; she sleeps on her feet like a horse, evidently. (00:15:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: After Magnum gets punched by Ted Danson, he drives off. Oddly enough, he drives by TC's van, parked in front of one of the villas of the area, and that has no business being there. (00:24:05)
9th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Mrs. Kimball falls off the wheelchair in an alternative take, featuring a stuntperson instead of the elder actress. Problem is, the stuntperson is barefoot, and Mercedes McCambridge wears socks and slippers. (00:05:50)
9th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When Agatha Kimball gets her wheelchair caught in a gap between the step and the ramp, stagehands can be seen as they safely hold Mercedes McCambridge to avoid her getting hurt. (00:05:45)
9th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When the bandit holds Adelaide and then drops her off the horse, you can get a good look at the face of the person, and it's a younger stuntwoman, not Christine Belford. That stuntwoman has to roll in the dirt and get up, but Christine Belford emerges in the next shot without a speck of dirt on her shirt's sleeves nor the back of the jeans that got all soiled earlier.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Magnum and Adelaide are headed to her place on TC's chopper. Throughout the sequence, the camera moves up and down but can't conceal that the fact that they are not moving at all and they are just sitting in the chopper, with set lights reflected in her glasses and even the silhouette of the rotor of the chopper, completely still, peeking through the glass.

The Gourmet Detective: A Healthy Place to Die (2015)
Revealing mistake: One of the three last names that Maggie searches for is "French" but f you look at the results page, you can notice that the results are for the word "France." (01:08:10)

The Gourmet Detective: A Healthy Place to Die (2015)
Revealing mistake: Lucas Miller's card (what they use to mark him as suspect on their board) contains just a bunch of filler text, like "ipsum dolor tenderloin" "tempor t-bone lorem" in a daring fusion of random Latin words and cuts of meat. (01:08:30)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: During the credits, look at the car when Andy Romano's name pops in view; the antenna and the steering wheel are on the right of the vehicle. In the rest of the episode, they are on the correct side (the left). (00:01:40)
