Continuity mistake: When Darien reaches into the glass spider enclosure to retrieve the note, the number of spiders sitting on the paper changes (too quickly for them to have crawled away and back naturally). First there are two on top of the paper, then only one, then instantly two again. (01:11:30)

The Outer Limits (1963)
Continuity mistake: When the lab equipment shorts out after the earthquake, the unconscious Major Brothers is lying with his head propped up against the wall. But when Hamilton reaches him in the next shot, he's suddenly lying flat and is nowhere near the wall. (00:21:45)

The Invisible Man (2000)
Continuity mistake: The blood stains on Kevin's white lab coat change size and position several times between takes. (00:40:00)
17th Mar 2007
The Outer Limits (1963)
Revealing mistake: When the alien posing as a human is exposed, the OBIT screen shows his "true" alien form while he continues to appear human to the naked eye. The actor in alien costume on the screen copies Jeff Corey's movements, but at one point rather badly shatters the illusion by forgetting to raise his arms when Corey does. (00:47:00)

The Outer Limits (1963)
The Man Who Was Never Born - S1-E6
Plot hole: Andro has memorized "every detail" of Cabot Jr.'s life, including his mother's name, Noel. Yet when he travels to the past, meets Noel and learns her name, he still mistakes Cabot Sr. for Cabot Jr., who isn't born yet. Having memorized all those details, he would have known the moment he met her that Noel was Jr.'s mother. Andro's confusion makes no sense. (00:28:00)

The Outer Limits (1963)
Revealing mistake: In the bakery, Will plays a lively tune on the concertina - without touching any of the button-keys necessary to play the notes. (00:26:15)

The Outer Limits (1963)
The Man Who Was Never Born - S1-E6
Visible crew/equipment: As the ship lands in the beginning, the wire supporting the model is visible at the top of the screen. (00:04:15)
12th Mar 2007
The Outer Limits (1963)
Continuity mistake: The window in the chamber door changes its size between shots. At first, we can see just Gwyllm's head. But then the window somehow grows so that his head and shoulders are visible. When the window gets smaller again, only part of his head is visible. (00:46:00)

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Continuity mistake: When Jackie leaves the office, the clock reads 10:12. The ensuing continuous scene with Winter and Mr. Smith is almost 6 1/2 minutes long, yet at its end, the same clock has advanced only 2 minutes, now reading 10:14. (00:33:00 - 00:39:15)

Somewhere In Time (1980)
Trivia: When Richard Collier leaves the men's room, bloodied from his first encounter with a straight razor, the bearded man who stares at him in the hall and declares, "Astonishing!" is screenwriter Richard Matheson in a cameo role. His screen credit at the end reads "Astonished Man." (01:01:55)

Amadeus (1984)
Continuity mistake: Mozart's pianoforte is carried outside for the concert. But while the concert is going on, Salieri goes to Mozart's home, and the just-carried-out piano is still there.

The Outer Limits (1963)
The Architects of Fear - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Stanley levitates the meteor with his brain power, the wires that actually lift the rock are very easy to spot at the top of the screen. (00:09:30)
10th Mar 2007
The Twilight Zone (1959)
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge - S5-E22
Continuity mistake: After crawling from the water onto the shore, the Southerner lies on his back with his shirt gaping open, exposing his entire chest. But in the next shot, his shirt has fastened itself, completely covering his chest again. (00:16:00)
10th Mar 2007
The Outer Limits (1963)
The Architects of Fear - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: In this episode's present-day 1963, the scientists view film footage said to have been taken "yesterday." But the rather obvious crowd scene stock footage is ten years old, featuring cars and clothing no newer than 1953. (00:02:00)
10th Mar 2007
Somewhere In Time (1980)
Factual error: In 1912, Richard Collier gives young Arthur his ball, and above their heads, you can see the 1980 fire sprinklers in the ceiling. (00:40:40)
10th Mar 2007
Somewhere In Time (1980)
Factual error: The 1912 hotel has frosted light bulbs hanging from the ceiling in some scenes. Frosted bulbs weren't around until the 1940s. (00:43:15)
10th Mar 2007
The Addams Family (1991)
Trivia: The part of Morticia was originally offered to Cher, who passed because she felt that "The Addams Family" wouldn't do enough to boost her slumping (at least at the time) film career.
10th Mar 2007
Kim (1950)
Visible crew/equipment: You can see Dean Stockwell's harness and guide wire when Kim is hauled off the ledge and up the cliffside.
