Across whole show
Character mistake: At the Bronze in the Buffy episode "Angel", Angel says that he hasn't fed on a human being since he was cursed. But this is actually untrue: in "Why We Fight", flashbacks show he fed on a Navy submarine's dying commander so he could sire him in order to save a captured Nazi submarine, and in "Orpheus", a flashback/memory shows that he also fed on a gunshot victim in a cafe in the 70s.
All of series 1 (season 1)
Character mistake: The slogan of Angel Investigations changes several times. In some episodes, it's "We help the helpless," while in others it's "We help the hopeless."
City Of (season 1, episode 1)
Revealing: In the last scene of the episode, Angel kicks the guy out of the glass building. This guy's a vampire, and you can see his reflection in the glass windows. Vampires aren't supposed to have reflections.
Continuity: When Angel kicks the vampire out the window, he does it with little effort and movement, but when the shot goes from outside the building, he's swinging his body like he's put more into it.
Lonely Hearts (season 1, episode 2)
Revealing: In the scene when Angel, a vampire, runs after the barman towards the end, after the barman has tried to pass on the demon to Kate and Angel stopped him, there is a mirror, and when Angel runs past it, he has a reflection.
Continuity: In the scene where Detective Lockely arrests Angel in the apartment, the window behind them shows that it's daytime. But when Angel jumps out the window, it's night time.
I Will Remember You (season 1, episode 8)
Continuity: In the season one episode 'I Will Remember You' when Buffy and Angel are talking in the sewer Buffy's hair goes from being just a few strands over her shoulder to having a whole side over it, and back again.
Expecting (season 1, episode 12)
Continuity: When Cordelia is putting on lipstick she uses the windows as mirror. In the reflection we see the top drawer of the cabinet is open the whole time, but it is later opened by Angel.
Revealing: When Angel stands at the cabinet with a file folder in his hand, you don't see the folder in the reflection in the window (which Cordelia uses as mirror to put on her lipstick) but you can see the cabinet.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Wesley and Cordelia are in the doctor's office , the boom mike appears at the top of the frame. (Widescreen Edition).
The Prodigal (season 1, episode 15)
Revealing: In the scene where Kate finds her father dead, just after the shot of his neck wounds, she is sitting over him and you can see the father blinking a few times.
Deliberate "mistake": In the flashback to Angelus rising from his grave, his and Darla's breath is visible as they exhale. This was going to be removed in post-production, but left in due to budget restrictions.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Angel is talking to Kate about the "evil thing" , the boom mike appears at the top of the frame. (Widescreen Edition).
The Ring (season 1, episode 16)
Continuity: In the final fight, Angel gets stabbed on his right side. In the slow-motion bit before his opponent chooses not to fight any more, the wound switches to his left for one shot.
Factual error: According to the show, Angel learned quite a few languages when he was evil. However, when he tries to start a conversation with a red-faced demon, he makes terrible mistakes. He said "Hablo Espanol?" which literally means "Do I speak Spanish?" and he said something like "Are you from Byelorussia?" in a tongue that hardly resembled Russian, although according to the captions, it was said in Russian.
Five By Five (season 1, episode 18)
Continuity: When Faith is sitting at the window and looks at the piece of broken glass she used to torture Wesley, it has a different shape than the one she first takes to torture Wesley. When she drops it out the window it has its original shape again.
Sanctuary (season 1, episode 19)
Revealing: When the insect creature is crawling on the ceiling its hair doesn't falls down towards the floor, it "falls" towards the ceiling.
War Zone (season 1, episode 20)
Revealing: At the vampires' nest, when Knox is talking about Gunn's team, the vampire wearing the green sweatshirt and leather vest doesn't have yellow eyes like the other vampires do. And the female vampire doesn't either later, when the two groups face off after Gunn's sister is sired.
Revealing: When Alonna is kidnapped, there is a vampire on the left side of the screen who is not wearing any mask over his face, though sunlight is falling on him.
