It Takes One to Know One - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: During the crown jewel heist, Mundy is lowered through the ceiling on a trapeze. But the stunt double is apparent in long shots. He's taller and quite a bit more muscular than Mundy is. (00:36:00)

It Takes One to Know One - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Al leaves the casino floor to call Noah, he's smoking a cigarette. When he reaches into his jacket for the wallets he's just stolen, the cigarette disappears. (00:05:30)

It Takes One to Know One - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: While he hangs from the ceiling over the jewels, Al's trapeze is spinning slowly. But when the shot cuts to a close-up, you can tell from the stationary background that the trapeze is now perfectly still. In the next full shot, though, it's spinning again. (00:39:00)

Beyond a Treasonable Doubt - S3-E23
Audio problem: When Mundy escapes, Devon shouts, "Stop him!" But his lips aren't moving when we hear the words shouted, and when his lips do mouth the words several seconds later, there's no sound. (00:10:00)

Beyond a Treasonable Doubt - S3-E23
Revealing mistake: Somehow you'd think that a gadget-happy government spy agency would be capable of replacing a dead battery. The clock in the SIA HQ board room remains at 10:10 throughout the entire 5-minute interrogation scene with Mundy. (00:07:00)
10th Feb 2007
Deliberate mistake: We see the Air Force plane's bomb bay doors come open. But in the next shot of the plane banking, the doors are instantly closed again. (00:45:20)
10th Feb 2007
Revealing mistake: The saloon's upper level railing looks solid until just before the bad guy falls through it, when the cuts in the break-away section are prominently visible. (00:26:05)
10th Feb 2007
Continuity mistake: Mona draws a heart in the dust on the bar and writes "Al + Mona" inside it. When we see a close-up it, however, the L is suddenly much larger than before, and the name "Mona" is written in smaller letters. (00:04:00)

To Sing a Song of Murder - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: At the airport, Mundy asks Marilyn what's wrong and places his hands on her shoulders. Then the shot cuts to a reverse angle, and his hands are resting on top of the car door instead. (00:07:50)
6th Feb 2007
Continuity mistake: Angela's limo picks up Mundy and drives down a tree-lined country road. But in the very next shot, the view out the back window is of a busy city street with nary a tree in sight. (00:13:00)
6th Feb 2007
Factual error: Mundy makes a phone call by wiring a radio speaker to the wall jack. Clever, but it wouldn't work. He might be able to hear dial tone, etc., but no one he called would be able to hear him without a microphone/sound pick-up, which the radio didn't have. (00:16:15)

The Second Time Around - S3-E11
Factual error: Wally's car phone operates just fine - without the huge exterior antenna it would have required in 1969. (00:12:50)
20th Jan 2007
Continuity mistake: When Botarelli gets up from the banquet table, a large orange, sitting beside his wine glass in close-up, disappears in the next, wider shot. (00:21:30)
17th Jan 2007
The Three Virgins of Rome - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When Alister Mundy's three friends are retrieving the paintings at the end, a small black dog appears, seemingly out of nowhere, and between takes is suddenly trotting along beside them. (00:44:50)
13th Jan 2007
Flowers From Alexander - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Sykes is drinking a beer when Nicholas knocks on the door, and he leaves the beer can on the balcony railing when he crosses to let Nicholas in. When they both walk out onto the balcony a moment later, the beer can has disappeared. (00:43:05)

6th Jan 2007
Plot hole: While Mundy is trying to disarm the briefcase bomb in the study, his time-sensitive work is interrupted no less than 6 times by people barging in from the party out front. The plot device adds comic relief, but there's no earthly reason why he couldn't have locked or barricaded the door in the first place. (00:36:00)
2nd Jan 2007
The Family - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Mundy is tapping into a line by climbing a phone pole. He's starting back down when the shot cuts to a wider angle - at which point he's back at the top and starts down the pole all over again. (00:00:55)
2nd Jan 2007
The Baranoff Timetable - S2-E21
Continuity mistake: Ortega takes Mundy's shoes (with lock picks hidden in the heels) and locks him up. Mundy soon has the confiscated shoes back on again, though, even before he escapes the cell. (00:40:00)
22nd Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: Mundy shoots a palace guard with a tranquilizer dart, and the man falls unconscious on the stairs. When his fellow guards find him moments later, the unconscious man has somehow moved off the stairs and is now lying in the corridor. (00:39:15)
