Continuity mistake: During the Top Gun scene, Derek steps on the table where Portia De Rossi and the other sorority elites are having lunch. You see her fetch from the table the Pepsi can, but then she holds it at a different height at the cut. (00:48:15)

Scream 2 (1997)
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)

Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Sidney answers the phone at the sorority, look at her sheer top under the jacket; reaches almost the neck (you can backtrack the moment when it rose from its optimal fit; she put the jacket in the same take and that ended up pulling the underneath garment a bit). At the next cut, the top rests lower as it should. (00:39:20)

Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: On the couch, Cici asks the friendly voice "Who are you calling for?" Notice the way she holds the phone, and how her middle finger is on top of the last two fingers. It's tucked back in the close-up ("What if I say goodbye?"). (00:30:25)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Stupidity: When Akechi tells his men to look for Kindaichi in all the possible places where a person might hide, Kindaichi with his bright yellow shirt is behind a metal staircase 2 meters away from him - a metal staircase with gaps between the steps, and some of the policemen are facing him. (00:20:15)
Continuity mistake: When Ponty wishes Miss Jones luck at the bowling tournament, she stops and turns. She also happens to hold her notepad in completely different ways in the two shots. (00:36:50)

House of Gucci (2021)
Factual error: The movie begins on March 1978 (date on the bank cheques that Patrizia signs). She meets Maurizio at the party that evening and, after 2 years they are married. All good, except for the fact that in reality, Maurizio Gucci and Patrizia Reggiani's wedding took place on October 27,1972.

Murderous Intent of Below Freezing 15 Degrees - S2-E9
Plot hole: Kindaichi's explanation of the trick does not make sense; he says the culprit put the towels outside to freeze in the bin, but if they were frozen solid they would have been impossible to reshape easily and quickly, and if they were already in the shape they wanted, that would have been just too big for the bin to contain. (00:14:25)

Murderous Intent of Below Freezing 15 Degrees - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: During the phone call, when the "two months" are mentioned, the shadow on the pillow changes between shots. (00:18:20)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When the culprit shouts that their father didn't drink, Yuki is holding the magazine in the opposite way compared to before; spine on the right vs spine on the left. (00:07:10)
3rd Mar 2022
Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi references the magazine "Area" that contains the article about the Orient accident. The headline has a different look compared to the previous episode. (00:04:30)

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When the real culprit is revealed at the beginning of the episode, the position of the knife changes, and the hostage's whole face is drawn inconsistently. (00:02:40)

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi finds the victim at sunset, he is in front of the other two people in the long shot, but behind the one on the left in the closer angle. (00:12:25)

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi tries to escape and Miyuki stops him in his tracks exposing the reason why he's leaving, the cup in front of her is positioned with the handle facing right. When we see the cup again, it faces the opposite direction. (00:21:20)
2nd Mar 2022
Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17
Deliberate mistake: The evidence that proves Kindaichi's alibi is the store receipt detailing the time of his purchase. Notice that the year is recorded too, but it reads "20XY." (00:12:40)
2nd Mar 2022
Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki discovers the larceny perpetrated at her expense, proportion and position of the folded clothes change between shots. (00:10:45)

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
Murder at 10,000 Meters File 2 - S1-E16
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, number and position of the airplane windows vary. You don't have to freeze-frame and count them; a cursory look at the door at the center of the plane is enough. The way the windows by it are grouped together changes in number and the door is sometimes at the end of the line, sometimes in the middle of it.

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
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.

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
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.
