Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19
Other mistake: When Akechi drives Kindaichi to the scene of the shooting, the tachometer of his car is set at 0. (00:14:00)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19
Other mistake: Hajime ends the conversation with Miyuki, but the screen on her phone still shows the conversation going. (00:13:50)

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19
Other mistake: There's a coloring mistake in the glass in front of Busujima in the shot when finishes playing his handheld game and sends the waitress away; the glass is half empty / half full...but vertically. The part to the right of the straw is full to the brim and the part to its left is nearly empty. (00:10:35)
6th Mar 2022
Other mistake: When Poirot questions Maggie Smith, he repeats what she said about Linnet Ridgeway "three days ago." Besides the discrepancy in dates (it was the day before the murder), Poirot at the time was dozing off on the portside deck (mrs. Ottenbourne passes him by going across) so he could have eavesdropped on the conversation in the near area, but not on that particular one which happened on the starboard deck.
6th Mar 2022
Other mistake: Poirot has uncanny hearing abilities, since he could pick up word for word the conversation Miss Ottenbourne and Ferguson were having several feet behind him at the temple of Karnak. He has also perfect memory, and yet he says that the girl asked the question about libeling the dead "two days ago." The murder (in the movie at least) happens the same evening of the visit at the temple. (01:14:50)
6th Mar 2022
Other mistake: Gale arrives at Jennifer's house for the party, rings the doorbell, but inexplicably, nobody answers. Noticed by Wes Craven in the DVD commentary; they said they "got away with it" by not adding the sound effect of the doorbell ringing in post so most people would Miss the gesture. (00:39:00)
5th Mar 2022
Other mistake: Ghostface has a strength that rivals a superhero. He's trapped under a bookshelf but not only gets free in a second; the mere gesture of freeing himself sends a grown, bigger man flying and tumbling over a desk. Seriously, from the angle it appears that the case hit Cotton in the side of the head, but that would never propel him over furniture as shown. His body also twists counterclockwise when bumped and clockwise on the desk. (00:09:00)
5th Mar 2022
Other mistake: When Gale and Dewey are being naughty in the VCR room, Gale spots some of the footage the killers took of the victims. One of the clips features Maureen and Phil in line in front of the cinema, but not only the shot is basically an impossible one since it's shot from a car and in the whole scene there were no cars in the street, but also the movements of the two actors are entirely different from the ones in the opening scene during that line about "a bio." (00:00:25 - 01:18:05)

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.

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)
3rd Mar 2022
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)

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15
Other mistake: In several instances throughout the episodes, the seats in the corridors appear empty even if the plane is supposed to be at full capacity.
2nd Mar 2022
Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15
Other mistake: On the plane, Akechi is reading, according to the dialogue, an "English newspaper." The newspaper is called "Global Times", but it's not supposed to be the real life one, which is a Chinese newspaper (albeit with an english edition); the logo is different. However, for being a Western-style newspaper (which is what Kindaichi calls Akechi out for), its front page is positioned wrong, like a Japanese newspaper.
28th Feb 2022
Other mistake: Ponty follows the instructions of the titular book, which follows the logical progression through the corporate ladder. However, when he becomes VP of advertising, he is reading from the very first pages.
28th Feb 2022
Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode it is said that the events take place 38 hours apart. It's 2:25 PM. We see then Arashi get up in the middle of the night, so it could easily be midnight...but then he reaches the station and it's daylight, and the kid is in his car, even. Moreover, when the troops enter, a clock inside the building points 2:10.

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Other mistake: Tokitou trips after charging at Kindaichi and missing him. Somehow though, Kindaichi is still way ahead of him and picks comfortably the lead pipe that rolled forward. (00:11:30)
25th Feb 2022
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Other mistake: In the initial flashback, the name of the ship ("Mary Celeste") is misspelled, appearing on the stern, is "Mary Celese." (00:02:05)
24th Feb 2022
Other mistake: When Stu brings Sidney's dad out in the kitchen, you can see behind him a September 1996 calendar. Earlier in the movie, the scenes inside Principal Arthur Himbry's office do show a September calendar, which is obviously the intent of the movie, but it's a September 1997 calendar.
24th Feb 2022
Other mistake: During the denouement, there is a scene with the meeting between Simon and Jacqueline inside the doctor's cabin. Jackie opens the doctor's case where he keeps the surgical tools pulling it out from a drawer, and she does not place the box back in the drawer or closes it; we see the whole time she spends inside the cabin, so it'd be impossible for the doctor not to notice what happened. (02:08:25)
22nd Feb 2022
Other mistake: During Tatum's murder we see some problems exacerbate. The killers are not supposed to be invulnerable and are wearing a cheap costume, but they receive hard hits (Tatum breaks two bottles of beer, one straight to the face) and they don't have a single scratch. When she is killed, nobody hears her scream and nobody else needed to grab a beer either. Furthermore, Ghostface has the garage door fully open, but without knowing who is on the other side, that is one room away from the others, goes by the mysteriously unlocked door to the inside of the house. And we see Billy (who should be the killer there, since Stu was at the party) join in coming from outside.
