To Catch a Roaring Lion - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: The professor translates the two Chinese symbols from Mundy's brass rubbing. Then he's shown a Chinese business card, and states that the 12 symbols on the card say the same thing. But not one of the symbols on the card matches the first two from the paper. (00:24:25)

Guess Who's Coming to Rio? - S2-E13
Audio problem: When Katrina walks out of the building at the end and crosses the street to Dover's car, the sound of her boots on the pavement doesn't match the actual movement of her feet at all. (00:45:10)
16th Dec 2006
The Galloping Skin Game - S2-E10
Visible crew/equipment: While Mundy is tying up the unconscious Willie, the boom shadow is moving back and forth on the wall at the upper right of the screen. (00:27:05)
15th Dec 2006
A Sour Note - S2-E2
Factual error: Gino commits a murder using a six-shooter with a silencer attached, and his shot doesn't make any noise. But it should have. Though it's a long-standing Hollywood cliché, a revolver with a silencer wouldn't be silent at all. Unlike automatic weapons, revolvers are open-chambered, which allows sound to escape. They can't be muffled with a silencer. (00:34:00)

A Sour Note - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: During his scuffle with Gino, Mundy's hair is messed up, then neatly combs itself, then is messy again, and so on several times between takes. (00:45:45)
15th Dec 2006
Get Me to the Revolution on Time - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: At the party, Mundy is handed a cocktail that's blue in color. Next shot, when he starts to drink it, the cocktail has changed colors - from blue to amber. (00:07:05)

Hans Across the Border (1) - S2-E7
Visible crew/equipment: The shiny black side of Noah's limo shows us a very nice reflection of several members of the camera crew. (00:32:15)
12th Dec 2006
Revealing mistake: Lori Chan picks Mundy up at the airport and proceeds to speed through town, spinning the steering wheel left, right and left again repeatedly. But the rear-screen projection behind them is showing footage from a car moving steadily in a straight line. (00:07:45)
5th Dec 2006
When Good Friends Get Together - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: Mundy lines up six golf balls and hits one, leaving five - until the shot reverses angles, anyway. Then there are only three golf balls left on the ground. (00:40:00)
2nd Dec 2006
Visible crew/equipment: When Colonel Parviz shoots at Mundy and breaks the mirror, the camera can be seen briefly in the glass, at the mirror's extreme right edge. (00:42:45)
1st Dec 2006
A Thief is a Thief (a.k.a. Magnificent Thief) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mundy and Claire are sitting in the car outside the apartment building, the rear view mirror has disappeared (probably removed to prevent it from obscuring the actors' faces). It mysteriously reappears later on. (00:42:45)
22nd Nov 2006
Audio problem: One of the perils of filming on location is employing local talent with accents too thick to be understood. Here, both the Italian actors playing the kidnappers are very obviously dubbed over. (00:40:45)
21st Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: When Madison and his political entourage walk down the hallway, the shadow of the camera precedes them, moving along the wall on the left. (00:06:10)
21st Nov 2006
A Thief is a Thief (a.k.a. Magnificent Thief) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the airline pilot enters first class to announce the baggage search, we see only 7 seated passengers and many empty seats. When the angle reverses, there are instantly 15 people seated, and almost no empty places. (00:25:30)
