Angel (1999) - 17 mistakes in series 4

Revealing: In 'Ground State' when Gwen is walking towards the lift in Irwin's building you can see Angel's reflection on the shiny door. Vampires don't have reflections, as is demonstrated at various other times in this show.

Factual error: In the flashback to Gwen as a child in 1985, she is dressed in a jacket tagged with an "Old Navy" zipper. That clothing store chain wasn't founded until 1994.

Revealing: When Gunn, Fred and Lorne run out to the Las Vegas strip, a large crowd of bystanders can be see seen in the background watching the show being filmed (as said in the DVD commentary).

Continuity: When Angel is talking to Cordelia in the garden at the very end of the episode "Supersymmetry" he has a cut on his cheek. The beginning of "Spin The Bottle" is the continuation of that scene, but Angel's face no longer has a cut.

Continuity: After Cordelia kisses Connor, her hand is on his cheek. Just before she says "and if this is the end", in the shot of Connor she removes her hand, then the angle changes to show her, and her hand's suddenly back on his cheek again.

Audio problem: When the beast bursts into the office,there is a close up of Cordelia, her voice is heard to yell Angel but her mouth hardly moves.

Other: During Angel's fight with the Beast, he is choked by the throat and begins gagging. Since Angel doesn't breathe, there's no air for him to lose, so he shouldn't gag.

Continuity: When Cordelia looks at the monitor, the reflection of Angelus's cage shows Angelus standing at the bars next to Connor. It cuts to a direct shot, and Angelus is sitting on the ground on the other side of the cage.

Audio problem: During Lilah's failed attempt to rescue Angelus, when Gunn shoots at Angelus with the tranquilizer gun, Angelus passes out then hits the ground. When he is about to pass out, we hear the sound effect of him hitting the ground before he even begins to fall over, and instantly in the next camera angle he hits the ground.

Continuity: In the scene where Angelus is drinking from dead Lilah, in one shot Lilah's hand is hanging by her side while Angelus holds her, but in the next shot - just before he drops her - Lilah's hand is gripping for support at Angelus shoulder.

Continuity: When Wesley tells Faith that Angelus is back, she says, "Step away from the glass" and hangs up the phone. When Wesley jumps from his chair (to allow Faith to smash through the glass and escape) you can see Faith behind the glass with her hands up to her face and standing, but in the close up of Faith her hands are at her sides and she is only just getting out of her chair.

Continuity: When Cordelia reveals to Connor that she's pregnant, she places her hand on his face. In the very next shot, her hand is gone.

Continuity: When Cordy throws the knife at the door after Willow leaves, the knife hits at an impossible angle from where it was supposed to have been thrown.

Continuity: When Fred is running from the oncoming white car, she runs toward a blue car getting fixed on the side of the road, but jumps out of the way as the white car hits the blue car. Fred hits the ground and rolls over to the fence, but in a following shot it shows Fred only just hitting the ground and she is on the grass, not next to the fence.

Continuity: When Angel and the others infect Connor with Cordy's blood, Gunn rips open Connor's shirt. In the following shots, the shirt closes and then opens again.

Continuity: When Jasmine picks up the car and throws it at Angel, it cuts to a shot of Angel moving out of the way then shows the car falling from the bridge. First mistake, Jasmine disappears from the shot when the car is falling, and second, the car falls directly straight and at a higher point than Jasmine actually threw it.

Audio problem: The lips of the Newscaster's who reports on Conner taking over the sports store do not match what she is saying at all.
