Revealing mistake: The money delivery went awry, and Rambo is fighting the bad guys. He subdues one in armlock, but another charges at him using a lead pipe like a spear. It is rather obvious that the weapon is miles away from connecting to David Chiang's face, but the sound played is one of a hit, and he acts like that. (00:31:30)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Rambo and Cheung sit down to begin explaining Tuba the situation, the lid on the instant noodles cup closes slightly on the second shot. (00:22:10)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: In her first scene at the store, Joanne wears a sweater tied on her front. When she looks at Tuba picking cereals, it is tied in a different way compared to the rest of the scene (the sleeves are evenly matched, while elsewhere one is very short). (00:18:25)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: Scene with the new store manager and love interest; Tuba pantomimes 'testing the water in the shower'. He puts his hands in his pocket when he realises that someone is glaring; that's in the first shot, because his hand is frozen in mid-air in the next shot instead. (00:18:10)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Revealing mistake: The chairman parks his car in front of Bel Fuse Ltd. And goes upstairs. His car explodes, but does it in front of a different building, probably switching to a stage building front; the metal doors don't have vents anymore and there are visible join lines in the asphalt and the cement. (00:15:10 - 00:15:40)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When the assignment officer puts the papers inside Cheung's holster, he reaches for the holster (and grabs it) twice. (00:14:50)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: As Tuba's story about the folk-dancing at the funeral becomes exponentially more ridiculous, the man in the pink shirt tries to convince his wife, but there's a clear lack of continuity in his movements between the various cuts. (00:11:15)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Tuba's poor friend protests because his pretend-folk-dancing has been overlooked, the pretend-fisherman is suddenly fishing with his chopsticks in his bowl, while he was not doing anything a moment earlier. (00:10:50)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Tuba's friend drops the strainer to have a quick exchange under the table, the strainer falls next to the table's leg, but the unattractive girl picks it up from Tuba's left (the leg is at his right). (00:09:20)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Factual error: Tuba pranks the store manager while he is reading adult magazines. One of them though (the one he is holding) is the August 1985 issue with Angela Nicholas on the cover. The previous scene took place at the Hong Kong Marathon of 1985, in January.

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: When the van crashes into the stage at the marathon, the crash happens in two separate takes, as you can see by the position of the guy in a light blue jacket, who dodges the incoming vehicle with radically different timing in the two shots. (00:03:20)
31st Mar 2022
Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Continuity mistake: In the wild stun where Rambo Chow jumps through the cracked windshield into the moving van, in the first take the stuntman doesn't quite land right into the windshield (in fact he hits the frame in a way that could possibly break a hip) and his body bends awkwardly, but in the next shot you see him slide in smoothly. (00:03:15)

Medieval II: Total War
Other mistake: In the introduction clips of the campaign, the historian is writing in Latin on a book with illustrations of armies and warring empires. The text he is writing though is from St. Augustin's "Confessiones."
30th Mar 2022
Lust Theory
Continuity mistake: At the end of dinner, Jessica is busy texting; in front of her there are still plates and towels in close-up but in the wide shots of the room the table she is sitting at is clean already.
29th Mar 2022
The King of Fighters All Star
Other mistake: In the Street Fighter collaboration, great care was placed replicating the Street Fighter II arcade selection screen, but the positions of the characters (originals and stand-ins) are all wrong.
29th Mar 2022
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
Continuity mistake: The window frame is broken in different points throughout the episode. For instance, when Dio pops open the head of the constable, he lands on the frame completely devoid of any sharp part, while a moment before it had two wooden pieces sticking out.
29th Mar 2022
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
29th Mar 2022
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
Other mistake: The first victim of the mask in the series falls back against crates that must be made of dry leaves, since all it takes is for the body to lean against them to utterly shatter them. (00:18:55)
29th Mar 2022
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
Trivia: Dio in this episode drinks Cronenberg Whisky, just like in the manga. The fictional brand is most likely a homage to the director David Cronenberg, especially given the bit of 'body horror' appearing in this arc.
29th Mar 2022
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
Continuity mistake: Dio is gloating thinking that JoJo probably got himself killed in Ogre Street already. A crowd of disreputable individuals zombie-walks towards him; one of the guys in front has some sort of scythe that he holds in opposite directions when we switch to the reverse angle. (00:15:55)
