Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the mechanic is checking Hank's car, there is a guy in the car who is sitting on the right side with his hands on the wheel. The problem is the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. In the next shot the steering wheel and the guy return back to the left side of the truck.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Whilst Hank is talking about the price of popcorn at the movies Bobby & Connie come up to Hank and there is a blue poster next to Bobby of a woman holding a gun. In the next shot you can see the blue poster is now next to Hank despite a red & orange poster next to Hank in the previous shot of him.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When Hank & Peggy are discussing what film to see, Connie & Bobby were to the right of Peggy who is right next to the truck. In the next shot Hank & Peggy are getting in the truck and Bobby and Connie are already there. Yet we would have had to have seen them go behind or in front of Peggy to get into the truck.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Other mistake: In the episode, Hank's truck is destroyed when it gets stuck on the train tracks and a train smashes into it. Later on when Bobby is walking home by himself he finds the cover for the gear shift stick and puts it in his pocket. After a while Hank finds Bobby and Bobby gives him the cover and Hank puts it right on. Sounds fine. The only problem is that Hank has to screw the cover back onto the stick shift but doesn't have to remove any part of the previous stick. When the train hit the car, Bobby puts the cover right in his pocket and it would have had a bit of the stick left in it, as he had to screw it on. Its unlikely Bobby would have removed the bit of stick inside it because when we see him pick it up there is no part of the stick he would have been able to grip to unscrew it from the cover.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: In past seasons, Hank's truck has obviously been shown as a 1992-era Ford Ranger,however in this episode it is shown as a 1980's-era Ranger.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: The entire episode is about Hank being very attached to his current truck, and refusing to purchase a new one (until he has no choice). But in S4 E23 Hank tells Peggy "You know how much I want a new truck."

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Plot hole: After the old guys take Hank's clothes & throw him over the fence at the Alamo, Hank goes right into the building without having to unlock the door. Despite the fence being locked up, it seems a little odd that such an historical monument like the Alamo wouldn't have its main door locked.

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Other mistake: When Hank runs into the building to hide and lays down in the square of moonlight on the floor, he looks up at the window and a couple of clouds pass by. The clouds move too quickly, and when Hank is shown again, no shadows from the clouds move across him.

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Character mistake: Hank seems surprised to learn a lot of the Alamo's defenders weren't from Texas. Given that kids study this in American history, especially Davy Crockett's role in the historic event, it seems unlikely he'd be ignorant about this.

Rob245

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Character mistake: Hank says that his parents haven't spoken in four years. However, Cotton and Tilly were both at the Hill home in the episode "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men" (Season 3). Cotton bullied Tilly on that occasion. And four years has not passed in between those episodes, or else Bobby would be a high school student.

Hank and the Great Glass Elevator - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: When Hank & the guys are talking about mooning from the glass elevator, Hank is positioned with his back next to the wall as he is sitting at the table. When Dale says his high school mooning was the best thing he ever did it. It then shows Hank and he says, "The vice principal gave you a week's detention" and is now sitting away from the wall with his back to a group of men in the opposite table.

Hank and the Great Glass Elevator - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: After the banquet dinner where Bill sees Lenore, she comes to visit him at home. They are sitting down on the couch and when she's talking she has her hand on his chest and you can see there is a pen in Bill's right shirt pocket. Between shots she talks about stealing Bill away at the prom and in one quick shot the pen disappears and the next shot it returns. Also look at Lenore's hand in this scene. It goes from being next to his chest, away from his chest back to being on his chest.

Now Who's the Dummy? - S5-E12

Deliberate mistake: As Dale is taking photos of Bobby's ventriloquist doll you can see he is taking the photo from the upper right of where Bobby is standing in his house. However the angle of which he takes the photo from would be impossible as it's to the left of their screen doors and there is no window or see-through material from that angle.

Now Who's the Dummy? - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: Whilst the old man in the retirement home is about to give Bobby the ventriloquist doll, there is a shot of just Bobby. In this shot you can see the jacket and hat on the coat rock and the coat is on the top rack. When we see both of them together the coat rack has another rack above the jacket now.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Allabaster is chasing Hank in his car, he loses the front left hubcap from his car. Just as they go over the speed bump if you look at Allabaster's car when it is in the air for a brief second you can see the hubcap is back on the tyre (more visible in slow motion). Later we see the tyre again and the hubcap is off for the rest of the scene.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Peggy & Hank are talking about Tammy whilst in bed, there is an outside shot of the house with light streaming out of one of the windows (the master bedroom). Yet when we see Peggy & Hank inside their room the blind for that window is down, making it impossible for the light to stream out of the window like it does.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Peggy, Hank, and Tammy are in the car and Peggy says "We all make mistakes", her lipstick is a duller, orange shade, then it goes back to being red.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Peggy and Hank are looking the mirror, as Peggy says "We look like a couple of movie stars", her hair is its normal reddish-brown color, but her reflection in the mirror has lighter, more dull brown hair.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: As Cotton is trying to guess where he has seen Tammy before, you can see Tammy has one wristband on her right hand. In the next shot she now has two wristbands on that hand. After this shot it returns back to just one wristband.

Hank: Calm down, Boomhauer! I can't understand a word you're saying.
