Continuity mistake: 8-15 "Deadly Persuasion": Danny says he hasn't fired his old 45 automatic "since I got out of the service." But at least two previous episodes had established that he joined Five-O right out of college, and was never (not even before college) in the service.

Robin of Sherwood (1984)
Continuity mistake: "Robin & the Sorcerer, Part 1": When Robin's men ambush the sheriff's soldiers, two are struck by arrows and fall from their horses. A few shots later, we see them both lying dead on the ground, but the arrows that killed them have disappeared. (00:46:40)
11th Oct 2006
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Deliberate mistake: 9-12 "The Bells Toll at Noon": When McGarrett picks up Danny and drives away in his Mercury Grand Marquis, the rear view mirror is missing, probably removed to prevent it from blocking the actors' faces. It reappears later on. (00:33:00)
11th Oct 2006
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Death is a Company Policy - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: The Five-O computer here lists McGarrett's name as Steven J. McGarrett. But in "A Gun for McGarrett," his middle name is revealed to be Aloysius. Strange that the computer doesn't know the name of its own department's head.

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Underground Terror - S3-E19
Factual error: The small round table in West's railcar parlor has a flip-over top, with secret maps hidden on the underside. The wine decanter and glasses all stay attached when it flips. But impossibly, when West turns the tabletop back over at the end, there's a full cup of coffee sitting on it. (00:48:30)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Raven - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: When the marshal opens the train's rear door and comes in to arrest Lana, you can see wrinkles in the "sky" outside. It's really a painted cloth backdrop. (00:48:40)
10th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Raven - S2-E3
Other mistake: Balya, the Turkish representative, is killed by a knife protruding through the back of his chair. But when he falls to the floor, leaving the knife behind, there's no blood on the blade. (00:42:00)
9th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Brain - S2-E21
Revealing mistake: Mr. Braine fires a mini-rocket at Brendage, killing him. But a poor camera angle reveals the explosive charge going off in the wall more than two feet to Brendage's left. From the angle at which it was fired, the rocket couldn't possibly have hit him. (00:21:45)
9th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Brain - S2-E21
Revealing mistake: Mr. Braine screams as his steam-powered chair crashes into the bandstand. If you look closely at the next shot, just before the explosion, you can see that the dummy now in the chair has its head bowed forward. It also has light brown hair, rather than Mr. Braine's silver hair. (00:47:10)

The Fugitive (1963)
Visible crew/equipment: As Kimble gets into Gould's VW, the car door captures a fleeting but clear reflection of the film crew. (00:29:30)
7th Oct 2006
Quantum Leap (1989)
M.I.A. - April 1, 1969 - S2-E22
Factual error: Though this episode takes place on April 1st, 1969, a freshly-painted sign in the park contradicts the date. In the scene with the hippies in which Sam is disguised as a meditating guru, the huge sign just behind him touts the San Diego Centennial Celebration - in 1968. (00:16:00)
7th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
Factual error: "Night of the Lord of Limbo": At the end, Vautrain tells West and Gordon to go through the door on their right. The door is on the camera's right, but is on West's and Gordon's left. (00:45:10)
7th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Raven - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: West and Gordon are ordered to sit on the floor to talk to the diminutive Dr. Loveless at eye level. In all the two-shots, their shoulders are touching. In all the wider angles, they're sitting a foot apart. (00:09:05)
7th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Raven - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: West stabs the giant cat in the left front paw. But when the cat is shown licking its wound, the injury is on its right front foot instead. (00:46:15)
7th Oct 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Other mistake: Illya orders an espresso from Fred, the coffee house proprietor, but never pays for it. And Fred doesn't take a bill to his table or speak up when he leaves without paying. (00:10:00)
7th Oct 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Raven - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Dr. Loveless' henchmen remove Artemus' leg chain. But a few scenes later, he's shown asleep in a chair, and the chain is back around his ankle. (00:28:35)
6th Oct 2006
The Fugitive (1963)
Nightmare at Northoak - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Gerard leaves the cell block, Kimble is at the cell door with his hands on the bars. Next shot, as Gerard exits, the cell door is visible in the background, and Kimble is no longer standing there. But in an immediate cut back to the cell, he's back with his hands on the bars again. (00:35:35)
6th Oct 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Deadly Quest Affair - S4-E8
Revealing mistake: A large piece of the drinking glass Illya smashes has already fallen out before he breaks it. (00:19:40)
6th Oct 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Deadly Quest Affair - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: Solo and Sheila are against a brick wall with a pipe just behind them as Karmak's leopard approaches. There's a long shot of them edging away to the left, away from the pipe. But in the next close-up, they're back at the same spot with the pipe behind them again. (00:41:55)
5th Oct 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Continuity mistake: Sylvia is carrying her huge "opus" sculpture out of the art gallery. In the next cut, though, we see a full shot of her showing both her hands empty: she's not holding the sculpture. Next shot, she has it back in her hands again. (00:24:25)
