Frankie Drake Mysteries: The Girls Can't Help It (2021)
Wrong flash bulbs
A technical error. The photographer girl wanting to take photos of the Flapper girls using an Graphflex camera and flash, which is more or less correct, but... having used such things, the flash gun was loaded with a GE5B bulb. BLUE 5B bulbs were colour corrected to match daylight, when shooting with colour film. That blue filter did cost a stop or so of output light from the bulb, which is why we also used clear bulbs for B&W work.. After she takes the photo, they flash a Black and White image on the screen. Totally wrong, Prop department should go out and get some clear bulbs. They are on Ebay...
Magnum P.I.: Day I Met the Devil (2019)
The "Triple Frontera" a lawless waste land?? really... FACT CHECK NEEDED
Boy it must have really changed down there in the last few months. Been there, done that... lawless?? NO!, We flew to the area to visit the falls a few months ago, and spent a number of days wondering around the area feeling quite safe (FYI we are both retired seniors)
The Triple Fronera, the tri-boarder area between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, occurs at the intersection of the Parana River and the Iguazu river forming a nice "T" shape. We have been on the exact spot, on a small boat, At that location the Parana river is about 250M wide and the Iguazu river is about 200M wide. So at best the "vast lawless area is a circle about 250M in diameter and is open river space. WOW
They did have a nice shot of the Iguazu Falls in the flashes of the area, the falls being a bit west of this location but it is certainly not part of the triple frontera .
As to the surrounding area... Three towns/citIes surround the interection, one in each of the countries... So unless you get well away from the boarder, you are not in the jungle.
And then there was the mountains that would show up in some of the shots, say out the window.. Sorry, this is not a mountain area and the vegetation just looks off. More likely shot in Hawaii,
It's too bad they don't get there facts straight.

311 dB....
Do the writers have any idea what sound pressure and decibels are?
Sound pressure levels (dB) are 10 log power. an increase of 10 dB is 10X the power, 20 dB is 100X, 60 dB is 1 million times more. 90 dB is 1 Billion times the power and so on.
The agents are testing a sonar system. The sound coming over stereo speakers. McGee gets a reading of 311 dB on a hand held sound level meter... WOW!
OK, lets see, it only takes 185 to 200 dB to KILL a person with or without hearing protectors! At their levels, 311 dB is about 100 Billion times more power than the 200 dB kill level, I would think they would be a pool of slim on the floor rather quickly.
To put that into other terms. 311 dB is a sound pressure of about 10 Million Lbs per square inch. or about 12 Billion-Billion Watts per sq Meter. (12 ExaWatts/sq M.) That would work out at about 2 Billions times the power output of Niagara Falls per sq meter in the room, I think the room was a lot bigger than a sq. meter.... I don't think air will stay together, and perhaps the fabric of space might fall apart.
This sonar is a more power than a death star...
Blindspot: Hella Duplicitous (2018)
Blooper in sword fight
In the roof top scene where Jane is having the sword fight with Akiko. Akiko enters the area wearing high heeled boots. During the fight with Jane Akiko is wearing flat boots with similar or identical uppers. At the end of the scene when we dies on Jane's sword she is back to heels. I suspect a body double was used for the fight, perhaps that stunt girl was a bit taller, or heels were a safety issue during the fight.
