Leaping of the Shrew - September 27, 1956 - S5-E3
Revealing mistake: The background while Scott is on the raft with Brooke Shields is blatantly a studio wall. The clouds have streaks on them with dark colors and the seam where the ocean meets the wall can be spotted. The film "The Truman Show" used the same technique.
14th Dec 2015
Revealing mistake: When Daniel and Kumiko first see the storm coming near the end of the film, the wind outside is blowing the trees sideways. They open the door to run out and the camera shows what is outside. The trees there are not moving.
14th Dec 2015
Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning of the ark chase sequence, Indy jumps into a truck off a horse and fights the driver. He pushes the driver up against the door. At the bottom of the frame you can see the camera shadow. (01:23:35)
14th Dec 2015
Continuity mistake: The people at the church already have their candles lit in the first scenes, but they light them again.
4th Dec 2015
Other mistake: The Fratellis catch up with the Goonies near the waterfall. Francis shoots his gun upwards but the rocks that fall on him come from behind him.
26th Nov 2015
Revealing mistake: During the scenes when they are chasing the balloon in the prairie, the tire tracks from the camera car are easily visible.
16th Nov 2015
Revealing mistake: McClane jumps out of the helicopter at the end and lands on the wing of the larger airplane. The stunt man who does this then proceeds to move up to a long wire on the side of the wing. Any normal airplane would not have a long wire on the wing.

Audio problem: John is on the wing of the plane, questioning why he is there. His mouth isn't moving with what he is saying.
16th Nov 2015
Factual error: In the tower, Leslie Barnes and a few men are talking about the Annex Skywalk, mentioning that it is a "VHF System." Barnes says the planes are so close it won't matter. VHF, or Very High Frequency, transmits far distances, hence why it is used by airports around the world. He should have said "UHF", which transmits shorter distances, as that would make more sense.
16th Nov 2015
Visible crew/equipment: After disabling the guards, Damon and Clooney go to open the vault. The camera's reflection can be seen on the vault door as the shot pulls back. You can also see the crew member operating it.
12th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the garage near the beginning of the episode where the characters are gathering supplies, the sun is on them in one shot. In the reverse shot, they are dark and the sun is no longer shining into the garage. Then back to them, it is again.
11th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: During the beginning credits with Tom Cruise as Austin Powers, he parachutes into his car. The sky during this sequence goes from a few clouds (mostly just blue sky) to overcast, and back to blue sky and a few clouds.
11th Nov 2015
Audio problem: The federal agents from various agencies show up and basically prevent the townspeople from killing graboids, and they're arguing with Burt about it. One of the government agents yells something, and it is loud enough to clip the audio (distortion).
9th Nov 2015
Audio problem: When Ben and Elaine go on their first date, they're driving really fast in his car and talking. When each of them talks, the wind noise is evident in the audio. This means they used the original audio on scene, instead of replacing it later (known as ADR). The cuts in the audio here are very noticeable.
2nd Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: The weather changes at least twice during the end sequence at Meteor Crater. Take a look at the clouds in the background of all of the shots, especially those looking at the San Francisco Peaks (near Flagstaff, AZ). The extreme long shots of the helicopters coming show dark clouds, while the wide shots show a mix of cloud free and then cloudy skies.

A Song for the Soul - April 7, 1963 - S4-E15
Revealing mistake: When Al jumps into the shot out of nowhere on the steps after the record producer leaves, Sam and the two girls abruptly move, giving away the technique to achieve Al showing up. The transition is usually smoother, this one happens to be rough and noticeable.
14th Oct 2015
Continuity mistake: Sasha is pinned by the walker, but saved by Michonne. As she is standing up, the leaves in her hair disappear between shots.
14th Oct 2015
Visible crew/equipment: When Sam comes to visit Carol with items in his hand, he walks through the front door of the house. Carol shuts the door after she lets him inside. As she does this, you can see the reflection of a black sheet or tarp of some kind covering the door area where the camera reflection would be.
14th Oct 2015
Revealing mistake: After it starts raining there is a shot looking at the road in The Distance. Notice how the rain is only falling in a small area and stops just beyond where the group is at. The road is dry from there on out.
11th Oct 2015
Audio problem: In the house as the walker is shot nearly point blank, the sound of the shotgun goes off before the flash.
