Dark Angel (2000) - 57 mistakes in entire show

Continuity: The captain enters his quarters and leaves the door open behind him. When Max grabs the painting to leave the door is closed. She wouldn't have shut it because she was escaping immediately.

Revealing: When Logan goes looking for Max at Jam Pony, as he starts talking to Normal there is a woman in a blue jacket with a black-and-yellow bike helmet walking behind him. She travels past the group and can be seen heading for the lockers behind OC and Sketchy. After Normal says, "I can't help you," the same woman walks behind Logan again, going the same direction.

Continuity: Max is wearing a baseball cap when she is arrested, and is still wearing it when she is waiting to be processed at Langford. She isn't wearing it or carrying it while they take her picture, log her belongings, and lock her down. In the prison yard, however, she manifests it in her empty right hand to give it to Break.

Continuity: At the end, Max goes to see Logan. She walks up to and leans on the same metal frame twice, once with the camera on her and once with it on Logan.

Continuity: After he explains his situation, Sketchy looks at Cindy to his right when she asks how much he owes the gangsters. For his closeup when he answers, he's facing Herbal on his left.

Continuity: When Max is holding Lydia over the balcony, one wide shot shows that Lydia is hanging at an angle because Max is only holding one leg, but every other shot shows that Lydia's hair and head point straight down.

Continuity: As Rafe's henchman gets "upset" with Sketchy, the cardboard underneath Sketchy switches from vertical print to horizontal print.

Continuity: Max briefly spots Walter on her way to pick up the file for Logan. For this one shot, he is much closer to the fence than in the previous or next.

Plot hole: Darius is fooled by Max's life size shadow walking on the projection screen into believing she is actually there. There must be a projector focused on the screen centered in the room to project on the flat surface without distortion, either in the small room behind Darius or hanging from the ceiling. If it was in the small room, Darius' shadow would appear on the screen as he was standing in the middle of the room, and Max's ruse wouldn't work because she would be behind Darius and projecting a much larger shadow. If the projector was on the ceiling, there is no way Max's shadow could walk so nonchalantly onscreen. - she'd have to be suspended just to show up on it. Either way, it would be impossible to create a life size shadow as shown here without standing between Darius and the screen.

Deliberate "mistake": Towards the end, Logan is thinking about killing himself and the water drips from the ceiling. He is on the top floor, so nobody would be living above him.

Factual error: One of the bases for this show is the idea of computers and electronics being wiped out by an EM Pulse. With the amount of digital communications equipment still operational, it is inconceivable that the whole world system is inoperable, and rebooting of existing servers would have meant that the only information lost was that in transmission at the time of the pulse. A single pulse capable of erasing hard drives would have crushed everything between any two magnetic objects - i.e., parked cars would have slammed together regardless of how many pedestrians were standing between them.

Revealing: Max jumps onto the dumpster behind the office and up to a window. Both times she is replaced by someone with a very different hairstyle: short instead of merely held up (slowmo helps).

Continuity: When Sketchy goes to the art thief for a pickup at the beginning, the thief passes the painting from his left hand to his right twice after he opens the door.

Continuity: There are a couple of times during Max and Logan's ride to the wedding that a shot on Logan shows Max's seat belt not touching her shoulder but the following shot on Max shows it flat against her.

Continuity: After the wheelchair basketball game, Logan rolls up to Max. In one shot there's a dark car behind her, but in the next it's yellow.

Continuity: At the witness protection safehouse the popcorn on the marshals' table jumps from the center to a corner. It's back in the center when Max breaks down the door.

Factual error: Max transfuses Logan from the inside of her elbow. The doctor pulls the needle out but doesn't bandage it. Neither Max or the cops are applying pressure as she is arrested. As any unlucky blood donor knows, without pressure and a bandage blood would be flowing copiously down her arm.

Continuity: At the bar, Max's arms shift on the counter as OC walks up to her and Sketchy.

Continuity: There's a clock on the wall behind Sung during his interrogation of Normal. The second hand is just striking the 9 o'clock position when Sung asks Normal if he is "not a man to be taken lightly". It's still at that mark when the camera comes back to Sung almost fifteen seconds later. Later when Sung tells Normal about the parking tickets, the second hand skips from 12 o'clock to the 5.

Continuity: When Sanders pulls a gun out of the freezer we can see that the shelf is empty except for the ice trays. Seconds later when Lydecker takes the gun, there are small bottles of some kind there. They weren't among the stuff on top of the freezer that Sanders knocked off, either, so they didn't fall in.
