Jack's Revenge

Season 5 generally

Trivia: Starting with the first episode of this season, Lucy Lawless (Xena) was visibly pregnant with her second child. In the first episode, she wore long flowing robes. In the 2nd episode, her dress was very loose and she did very limited fighting. Her pregnancy was obviously written in several episodes after that, but her stunts were considerably fewer and her stunt double did much more than in a normal season.

Jack's Revenge

Fallen Angel - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Amarice shows Joxer that Xena and Gabby are dead, Joxer immediately puts his right hand up to his mouth in anguish. The shot changes and instantly his left hand is over his mouth. (00:01:25)

Jack's Revenge

The Way - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: Gabrielle is in the temple, she is standing behind the monkey guy. In a single frame, she moves from standing still looking forward with her staff next to her, to her standing with her head tilted leaning on the staff. (00:19:00)

Jack's Revenge

If The Shoe Fits... - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: When Gabby is looking for cooking utensils while Xena is sitting there playing with the leaf, Gabby's hair is markably different than in the rest of the episode. It appears as if she's wearing a wig, her hair is redder, and much puffier. Most of the time she has her back to the camera, but when she turns around, it's very obvious that she's wearing a wig. This may have been an insert shot done later, as Renee O'Conner did cut her hair for an episode done just a few weeks later. (00:19:30)

Jack's Revenge

The Convert - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: Najara smears blood all over her left cheek during her fight with Xena, then a bit later, the blood smear is smaller, and more on her lower cheek, rather than all over it. (00:40:25 - 00:41:15)

Jack's Revenge

The Play's The Thing - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Joxer is painting the set, in the far shot he's using side to side brush strokes, and it doesn't look like any paint is on the brush. On a quick close up, he's making hash marks, and there's a lot of paint on the brush. (00:17:50)

Jack's Revenge

The Bitter Suite - S3-E12

Revealing mistake: When Xena drags Gabrielle with the whip behind her horse, you can see in some shots it is a dummy - as the arms are in a static position. In other shots, Gabrielle is a man, as shown by how much larger she suddenly gets. (00:02:00)
