Duck Soup (1933)

Continuity mistake: During the "Pop Goes the Weasel" dance number, Groucho's flute turns into a banner with a brass pole, which then disappears and is replaced by his trademark cigar. When he dances to a spot between the two uniformed "officers" for the finale, the cigar also disappears.

Fire in Space - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: One of the fire crew presses several controls on a panel operating the ship's pumping mechanism. When his gloved hand is shown pressing the first button, the supposedly metal panel flexes and buckles slightly. (00:23:50)

Hawaii Five-O (1968)

A Bullet for El Diablo - S6-E10

Factual error: Pepe and Carlos are driving a '62 Chevy. When they watch Ramos' motorcade pass, there's an insert shot of a key in the steering column as they start the car. In a 1962 model, the ignition would have been on the dash, not the steering column. (00:13:15)

A Bullet for El Diablo - S6-E10

Plot hole: During his investigation, Danno learns that the kidnapped Maria never wears make-up. Yet in every single shot we see of her, Maria is far from cosmetics-free. She's wearing very heavy eye make-up. (00:34:40)

The Great Escape (1963)

Trivia: Donald Pleasence was an RAF pilot and a genuine POW. His plane was shot down, and he was interned in a German camp. In an interview about The Great Escape he said that the film's producers weren't interested in hearing his suggestions about making the camp scenes more realistic, so "I simply learned to shut my mouth."

Father Figure - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Early in the first season it was established that Darien's parents died in an accident, and that he and his brother were raised by an aunt and uncle. But here, Darien's father is alive, is said to have "disappeared" years before, and there's no mention of the accident he "died" in.
