Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: In interior shots, the station's multi-paned window has dust and grime on all the panes. In exterior shots, as Curry talks to Lom from inside, it's apparent that there's no glass in the window at all. (00:41:00)

Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Plot hole: Curry slips out of his bonds and hides in the secret cubby hole beside the fireplace, right under the four dozing outlaws' noses. But when he's found, the wooden door over the hiding place has to be pried off - very noisily. No one else was free to nail that door shut, and there's no way he could have done it from inside - at least, not without waking up the outlaws. (00:30:30 - 00:34:50)

One Foot in the Grave - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: While Diamond is talking to Yvette, she leans on the record cabinet and one of its doors swings open. A few shots later, though she hasn't touched it again, the door has closed itself. (00:11:15)

Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Four horses pull the stagecoach. In long shots, the left lead horse has white fetlocks. A moment later, when the coach pulls into the station, the white-legged horse has moved to the leading right position. (00:05:00)

One Foot in the Grave - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: Two thugs knock Diamond unconscious and leave him in a parking lot. When he wakes up, he's lying in a different spot, farther away from a painted white line, than he was when he fell. (00:05:20)

The Man Who Wouldn't Talk - S2-E3

Revealing mistake: Maria's Spanish accent keeps disappearing, giving way to the actress' natural American accent, throughout the episode. Her supposedly Spanish aunt's accent is never Spanish to begin with - it's identifiably Austrian. (00:08:00)

Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Plot hole: Well within earshot of the others in the small room, Curry comments to Heyes (purely for the viewers' benefit, since Heyes already knows it) that if Lom Trevors is killed, their amnesty will go with him. This information should have blown their cover, but for some strange (and unbelievable) reason, no one wonders what he's talking about. (00:19:00)

Siege - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Catherine enters the DA's office and passes his dart board. The six red and green darts lodged in the board rearrange themselves between takes. The colors are in a mixed pattern when she enters. One shot later, all the red darts are above all the green ones. When she pulls them free, they've returned to their original pattern. (00:36:00)

Widow's Walk - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: After the bad guys rough up Diamond in his apartment, his hair alternates several times between falling over his forehead and staying neatly combed as the camera angles change.

Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The stagecoach station during the day and what is supposedly the same station after night are shots of two completely different buildings. The night shot is stock footage of a different set. (00:19:10 - 00:35:00)

Dreadful Sorry, Clementine - S2-E10

Trivia: After sweeping Clementine off her feet in a big hug, Heyes has some wardrobe trouble. His hat falls off and he grabs for it, fumbling a bit before getting it back onto his head. But it's backwards. Without missing a beat, Pete Duel stayed in character, looked annoyed, yanked the hat off to reverse it and gave it a satisfied tug back into position, all the while carrying on with his lines as though nothing had happened. (00:04:30)

The Reformation of Harry Briscoe - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Molly's hands are tied with leather straps. But when Briscoe and Sam barge into the campsite, she pulls off her blanket and stands up with her hands free. A moment later, she once again has the leather straps binding her wrists. (00:30:15)

The Reformation of Harry Briscoe - S2-E9

Trivia: Actress Jane Merrow confused the Smith and Jones aliases and called Pete Duel's character "Jones" in one scene. Duel saved the director a retake by ad-libbing back, "It's Smith, sweetheart." The exchange was left in, but still looks a bit odd, since Merrow's character had kept their names straight without any trouble in earlier scenes. (00:33:15)

Night of the Red Dog - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: While Curry and Heyes are panning for gold, the same shot of someone's bare arm and shoulder above the gold pan is inserted several times. But neither Heyes nor Curry is shirtless, and no one else is with them. (00:11:05)
