Hard Confrontations - S2-E3

Factual error: Blatant rule breaking during the penalty kick; Matsuyama taps the ball bringing it forward instead of just kicking it; running forward with the ball from the penalty spot is not allowed. (00:15:30)

Hard Confrontations - S2-E3

Factual error: Ken Wakashimazu, the reserve keeper, just announces a substitution, himself, from the crowd (not even the bench!), his presence unbeknownst to the coach and everyone else in attendance. For those not familiar with the rules of soccer (or ANY sport!), that's really not how it works in an official match. (00:13:30)

Factual error: During the opening credits, Alec Baldwin and Selma Hayek are driving back to New York. They pass by various buildings, one shot being entirely devoted to a dilapidated Blockbuster video store. That shot must have been archive footage from the UK, since you can see the realtor sign by it, and it's from Carter Jonas, a London based firm, and gives an 01962 phone number (Windsor).

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Factual error: The series is set in 1933, as the initial captions show. Yet the locomotive pulling the Orient Express is a JNR Class C58: the C58 series was built starting from 1938 (C58 239 used here is from 1940).

Factual error: When Don records the flight log, he says that they have been in the storm for 5 hours. That does not seem to match the timing of the events in the movie, but on top of that, it's a Vegas-Phoenix flight. That's a 250 miles distance that would take little more than one hour. (01:07:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Most of the action is set in 1988. The prologue with the two little girls is set before or during that year, but the girl scouts are selling "Thindulgent Sandwich cookies", by Sheila G, a brand established after 1992. (00:01:55)

Sammo ★

Factual error: You decide to investigate the russian ship "Tarakan." The captain says "it's not far from here", and the characters take what looks like a leisurely stroll on the dock from their position. If you look at the in-game map, the two dots are on opposite sides of the bay.

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Factual error: At cost of stating the obvious; nobody is allowed to enter the pitch on a whim from the stands, even going as far as hitting a player kicking the football at them, it's pitch invasion. Nobody says anything about it and the referee is mysteriously absent though.

Sammo ★

Factual error: One of the first transitions between scenes during college life is styled as a book cover the protagonists is reading. Too bad that they wrote it on the wrong page - he's not reading a manga.

Sammo ★

Factual error: Roaming the Istanbul marketplace in the prologue, the protagonist Antoinette Marceau mentions that the rugs look as if they might be able to fly "like the fabled Aladdin carpet." The association between Aladdin and the magic carpet comes from the Disney movie, it's not something a lady in the 1930s would have said.

Sammo ★

Factual error: When the protagonists arrive to Patmos, latitude and longitude are switched the other way around at 26°489 and 37°411. Moreover, that's not Patmos, but Anydro Patmou, an uninhabited islet unlike what is shown here.

Sammo ★

Factual error: Martha Kent drives away from the foreclosed property. The realtor address is "Comanche, KS 66531", but that's the zip code of Riley, in Riley County. (00:06:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Diana obviously wears super-heels, since she hero-lands perfectly on stone steps with no damage to her designer stiletto shoes after the (at least) 50 feet fall. (00:48:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Martha Kent drives away from the foreclosed property. The realtor address is "Comanche, KS 66531", but that's the zip code of Riley, in Riley County. (00:14:45)

Chapter 4 - S1-E4

Factual error: Assane and his son play "Horizon Zero Dawn", against each other. Which is not a multiplayer, competitive game. (00:25:40)

Sammo ★

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Factual error: Judging by the x-ray of the leg, Genzo wouldn't even be walking without a cane, let alone play. His tibia is shattered. (00:07:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: When Elias shows Kyle the syringe full of succinylcholine, the liquid is brown. Succinylcholine is colorless. He also describes it as something that will basically get them high, which is not what the substance does (although that part may be deliberate deception - even if he does not hide at all the fact that an OD would kill them, so the purpose of such deception is unclear). (00:26:10)

Sammo ★

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Factual error: It's the first leg of a tournament between elementary school players, and people skip work to see it, the city streets are empty because everyone is home watching it (since it is televised, too!)... That just never happens. It is not a world different from our own where everything is based on the sport (like Pokemon).

Sammo ★

Factual error: A corpse that has been dead for hours is still bleeding the moment the coroner pricks the skin with a scalpel. Here it is particularly incongruous because the victim died 'cooked' from within and the internal organs, as shown, are all burnt to a crisp. The coroner also did not open the victim's mouth before getting to the cutting bit; it's like he did not perform the most basic check first. (01:04:00)

Show generally

Factual error: Blanket statement for most of the series; 90% of the tackles and blocks shown in the anime would never fly in a real soccer match. Some are particularly outrageous and deserve separate mention, but in general everyone's defense is careless at best, and downright criminal at their worst. Take Kojiro Hyuga's introduction; his 'dribbling' involves shoving the opponent off and the challenges for the ball end up with the opponents bleeding and with torn socks. Any ref would stop this sort of 'play' right away.
