The Greatest American Hero mistake picture

Fire Man - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: After Ralph's interference with the unmarked police car while he's inside the manhole, when it cuts to the high school Ralph asks if anybody has seen Tony, and just as the camera passes Rhonda the T-mark is visible on the floor near the other female student's desk. In a few moments Ralph will walk over and stand at that spot. (00:07:45)

Plague - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the paramilitary base, Bunker is wearing a military fatigue cap with a camouflage pattern while he and Bill are talking in the exterior shots, then when they walk into the office with the radar operator, in the interior shots the camouflage pattern on Bunker's cap is entirely different. When Bunker orders the evacuation, the cap reverts back to the original pattern in the exterior shots. (00:22:40)

Plague - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the laboratory in Needles, when Bunker removes the smallpox virus vial from the case he's wearing a digital watch and a ring on his left hand, but in the vial's closeup Bunker's ring has vanished and his watch is a different style. (00:43:15)

Plague - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bill and Ralph pull up in front of the motel in Faultline, they see Pam walking out of her own room. The problem is Bill's room number is 127, the same as Pam's room number, also 127. (00:16:55)

Plague - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: At the paramilitary base, after Bill tells Bunker he has "a real cute bivouac goin'," it cuts to a shot of Ralph searching for Bill's location, and the stunt apparatus is visible at Ralph's waist area. (00:21:30)

Just Another Three Ring Circus - S2-E12

Deliberate mistake: While they're in Yuri's tent, when Bill is standing in front of the tent wall Ralph describes all the good vibes he's getting about Yuri, and then Bill exits the tent. A few shots later, after the shot of the elephant sliding off the red pedestal, there's a shot of Bill standing in front of the tent wall, despite the fact that he left the tent, and note this shot is flipped. (00:10:50)

The Shock Will Kill You - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: After Ralph drops down into the tunnel in order to lure the creature, Ralph stops in front of a junction box on the wall. In the shot facing the box head-on as Ralph gets one of his holographs, suddenly there's writing on the cover of the junction box. The writing is not part of Ralph's vision. (00:37:55)

The Shock Will Kill You - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: While Ralph, Pam, and Bill are at the motel, Ralph wraps up all the metal plate covers and cutlery inside the bedspread, then when Ralph walks back and forth we can see the wires attached to the bedspread bundle as it moves. (00:18:15)

The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24

Visible crew/equipment: After M-5 fires on the other starships Daystrom speaks to M-5 about the murders, then when Kirk walks over to Daystrom and tells him the M-5 must be destroyed, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible over Daystrom. The white tape mark is also visible on the floor near Uhura's chair, where McCoy had been standing earlier. (00:42:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Continuity mistake: While Flavius guides Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to the city to find Merik, the foursome stop behind a group of trees. In the first wide shot, as Flavius explains they'll wait until dark, there are no red marks on the tree trunks, but in their closeups there are a few red marks (presumably from squibs), before the gunfire has even occurred. At the start of the second wide shot the tree trunks are still void of those marks, and when the police shoot at them that's when the red marks appear. (00:15:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Visible crew/equipment: After Kirk tells the policeman that he wants to see Merikus and "perhaps" he's a friend, the policemen lock the cell then leave, and when it cuts to a view of the cell from the side as Spock walks over to the steel bars, the overhead boom mic is visible inside the cell, over Spock. It's visible again, with a better view, when McCoy walks over to Spock beside the bars. (00:18:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Continuity mistake: While Kirk, Spock, and McCoy attempt to escape, Merik contacts Enterprise with the stolen communicator and the Proconsul stabs him, then when Merik tosses the communicator it lands in front of Kirk's feet in a closeup. The problem is that in the closeup Kirk is wearing his black uniform pants, but during this scene Kirk is wearing the light colored slave pants. Also interesting to note, when the sword landed on the floor in front of Spock's feet, the Vulcan is wearing black lace-up flat footwear instead of his black uniform boots. (00:46:35)

Spock's Brain - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Scotty, Kirk, and the others follow Spock's signal to the chamber with the Controller, they encounter Kara and she activates their pain bands. Spock's body has a pain band around his waist as the other men drop to the ground, but after McCoy tells Kirk, "Spock, no pain," the pain band is missing from Spock's body, then in the next shot it reappears when he goes after Kara's bracelet. (00:35:05)
