Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Plot hole: For no reason and without the fact being addressed at all, 2 defenders take the kick off for the second extra time (and naturally lose it instantly, while Tsubasa and Misaki would never have). (00:18:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Audio problem: When Urabe gets in the field to ask to be a substitute, western dubs (verified in the Italian and spanish dubs) have Ryo (or "Bruce") ask him who he is. Ryo knows perfectly well who Urabe is, and they played a friendly match just a couple episodes before too. (00:06:45)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Wakabayashi is still on all fours, dejected after being bested by Tsubasa. He lost his baseball cap parrying the shot in the right corner, but now both his beret and his wounded pride are towards the opposite side of the goal. (00:05:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki kicks the air to show that the injury is no biggie, and then clutches the injured ankle. Which was the right ankle, but his hand is on the left one. (00:04:50)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Factual error: The mall robbery happens on July 1st, as shown on the newspaper clipping Diana finds, which is coherent with the events depicted in the movie (they rob the mall on the 1st, the day after the stone is at the Smithsonian and Diana and Barbara bond over dinner, then on the 3rd Maxwell arrives, grabs the stone at the evening party, and he is already super powerful the afternoon he takes off for Cairo). Problem is, July the 1st was a Sunday, and not just the mall, but pretty much any other store downtown is open, and similarly since it's the 4th, financial operations wouldn't be happening (although in this case you could always argue that we deal with wishes - but it's an extra layer of implausibility). (01:04:05)

Other mistake: In the end credits, two actors are credited as "Camaro driver" and "Camaro passenger." The sports car that appeared in the movie (without a mandatory front license plate) was however a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. (00:11:35 - 02:26:00)

Other mistake: Flying the jet plane, Steve is surprised by the lights in the sky and needs Diana to explain to him that it's fireworks and it's the 4th of July. Fireworks are something that has existed for centuries, and Steve himself was the one who found the plane ticket for the 4th commenting "If this date is right." (01:11:30)

Suggested correction: He didn't realise it was the 4th of July, he's just surprised to see fireworks, not that he doesn't know what they are. The date on the plane ticket he just forgot.

He asks "What's that?" when the fireworks are visible and can't really be mistaken as anything else, and he himself was fully aware of the date before they headed to the hangar, but Diana says "The 4th" and he asks "The 4th of July?" like it's the first time he even thinks which month is it. If you listen to it, the emphasis is on the question in the delivery of the line as in "It's the 4th of July?", not as in "Oh, the 4th of July, right!"

Sammo

She says it's the fourth and he instantly realises it's fireworks for the fourth of July. There is no indication whatsoever that Steve doesn't know what fireworks are and your movie mistake suggests the makers intended Steve not to know what fireworks are, which is ridiculous. Your interpretation of the scene is just wrong.

lionhead

He does not instantly realise it's fireworks for the fourth of July. She has to reassure him that "oh it's OK, it's just fireworks", then she says "The 4th, of course" and he replies, as I said "The 4th of July?" with huge emphasis on the surprise. Sorry if you find my interpretation of the scene 'just wrong', but if they did not have his character call attention on the date literally 5 minutes earlier in the movie (it is a fact), I would have not reported it just for the fireworks part alone (which is more subjective, we read differently, and I respect your position).

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Continuity mistake: Max (Pedro Pascal) wishes to magically remove Simon from his path, and the Feds arrive. He asks one of them for information who shoos him off. Notice that two more agents are joining. Max then walks back to the entrance and those same agents are walking again, and when a few seconds later he's outside looking in, they are still just barely now joining the others. (00:55:40)

Continuity mistake: Max approaches Dr. Minerva on the stairs at the party. When he tells her not to accept "the limitations of nature", look behind her at the people coming down the stairs; there's a very characteristic man with a moustache, tan sunglasses and greasy hair. Seconds pass, and when Minerva chuckles at Max's remarks, there's that same guy again descending that same flight of stairs. (00:42:50)

Factual error: Diana decides to attend the party Lord invited her to. The music played as she makes her way through the various sleazeballs is "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's eponymous album, which was released in 1984 yes, but just on October 29th, and almost a whole year later as a single. The movie takes places around 4th of July. (00:41:05)

Continuity mistake: Gal Gadot just bumped into Kristen Wiig. She walks off and Natasha Rothwell (Carol) asks her if she knows her insignificant co-worker. When Wiig says "Remember you hired me? Started last week?" she has both hands clasped together at the briefcase in one shot, while in the reverse she's pointing at herself and only then her hands join supporting the case. (00:21:35)

Continuity mistake: Minerva is on the floor picking up papers and trying to get her colleagues' attention. When they walk past her, she changes the hand she is using to pick the paper far away from her, and she has suddenly an extra paper standing conspicuously still vertically into the briefcase. (00:20:25)

Other mistake: Wonder Woman pushes the cute kid to safety onto a big FAO Schwarz plush. She then lassos the two baddies and springs to the opposite side of the mall hall to capture the last two, then turns to her left and exchanges knowing looks and complicit winks with that kid that is still sunken into the plush toy. They should be nowhere near close enough for her to do that. (00:16:00 - 00:16:40)

Continuity mistake: When Wonder woman dashes towards the last of the goons who were robbing the store at the mall, his buddy who is already on the floor has his hand on his belly in the first shot, behind his keister in the next. (00:16:30)

Other mistake: Wonder Woman is downtown in DC saving random people. She kicks a red sports car that was probably going to run over a hideously dressed jogger. She kicks it from the right side. The car spins towards the middle of the crossroads, and its hood faces the left turn of the crossroads. For a moment we see Wonder Woman go 'woosh' crossing the road in front of the car that is at a full stop in that position. It does not even begin to make sense, she is not coming from the same part of the road she was at. (00:11:45)

Continuity mistake: A couple walks in front of the TVs in the store window during Max's speech. The guy has a cigarette packet in hand, but when Max's voice finishes the sentence with "but are you reaping the rewards?" he has already a cigarette in his mouth. (00:11:25)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Other mistake: In the first Wonder Woman movie, Queen Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother, was adamant that Diana was never to be trained as a warrior, fearing the fact that making her stronger would draw Ares to her (or vice versa), and argues with her sister who was training her in secret when she finds out; this incident happens when Diana is an adolescent. In this movie, a much younger, still child-like Diana takes part (and nearly wins) a contest between the fiercest athletes, involving horseback archery. The Queen should be freaking out and look for whoever put a weapon in her kid's hand, and instead she is perfectly happy, obviously cheering for her and at the end she even gives her a pep talk telling her to look up to...the great warrior Asteria.

Continuity mistake: When young whiny Diana is being consoled by her mum, Connie Nielsen has the thumb on the top of Diana's shoulder either through hair or free from it, depending on the shot. (00:10:30)
