Continuity mistake: Just after Buck jumps in to break Charly's fall, his right hand is high on her shoulder in full shots. But in close-ups, his hand and arm are around her waist instead.

The Prisoner (1967)
Revealing mistake: No automobiles are permitted in the Village - ever. Yet in aerial shots, a black car is sitting behind Number 2's residence.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Factual error: Despite taking a three-day trek across the blazing Arizona desert with no food, water or provisions (and definitely no knives or razors), neither John nor Manolito grows a beard, or even any stubble. They both arrive in Nevermore perfectly clean shaven.
14th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: When Number 6 is looking for a map in the Village store, the shopkeeper wears a badge with 19 on it. A few shots later, his number has mysteriously changed itself to 56.

The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: The unfortunate Village resident suffocated by Rover is wearing sunglasses that disappear between shots.

The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: The dwarf Butler climbs in to pilot the helicopter - but when the aircraft actually takes off, it's obvious that the pilot is a full-sized person.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Continuity mistake: At the end, despite an earlier emphasis on the necessity of wearing one's hat in the desert, John rides out of town without his. Victoria, who wore John's hat when they crossed the desert, isn't wearing it either. And of course, the "lost" hat reappears on John's head in the next episode. (00:39:20)

The High Chaparral (1967)
Apache Trust - S3-E8
Plot hole: Somewhere in old Tucson, there must have been a merchant with dozens of identical hats to sell. Here, as in other episodes, Blue's hat is lost somewhere in the desert when he's captured by the Apaches. By the next episode, though, he has it (or one just like it) back again. Lost horses, sometimes even after being killed, had a similar habit of reappearing alive and well in the following week's episode. (00:44:40)
13th Nov 2007
The High Chaparral (1967)
Continuity mistake: When the bad guys arrive in Nevermore, they prejudicially assume that Victoria is Manolito's wife. No one disabuses them of this notion, yet John later tells one of them that he was right about Victoria being his wife. (00:30:30)
13th Nov 2007
The High Chaparral (1967)
Plot hole: When Manolito and Victoria jump from the wagon, her hat flies off and falls to the ground. The bandits ride on by, chasing the wagon, after which Mano and Victoria get up and start walking. She later laments losing her hat when they leaped, which makes no sense. Since the bandits and therefore the urgency had passed, there was no reason not to retrieve her hat before they left the area.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Revealing mistake: During the cart-pulling scenes in the desert, the use of a stunt double becomes apparent when the usually reed-thin Victoria suddenly gains several pounds and some new muscles in the posterior region. (00:08:00)
13th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, Number 6 steps onto the elevator with a beard, but arrives on the lower level clean-shaven.
13th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Visible crew/equipment: When Number 48 jumps from the council table, there's a clear shadow on the left of someone holding up a still camera.
13th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Audio problem: Number 48 is still singing when he's carried out near the end - his lips are moving but we don't hear anything. A few shots later, we can hear him again, but his lips aren't moving in sync with the sound.
13th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: The council members' signs keep changing during the "Dem Bones" sequence. "Entertainment" becomes "Anarchists" and several others switch places between cuts.
12th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Number 6 pushes the dead body out into the surf. In close-ups, the body is still very near the shore. But in long shots, it is much further out. (00:28:30)
12th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: When Number 6 falls on the beach, the sand under him is wet. In the next shot, it is obviously dry.
12th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: At the end, the computer produces a print-out with two lines of type at the bottom, then pauses. In the next shot, when it starts printing again, the two lines have disappeared.
12th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Butterworth has a sandwich plate in her left hand and her cigarette in her right - until the shot cuts, at which point the cigarette and the sandwiches have instantly changed to the opposite hands.
11th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Nadia and Number 6 go together to the Green Dome (Number 2's residence). While they stand at the entrance, the door knocker changes to one of a completely different design between one shot and the next.
