Dark Angel (2000) - 57 mistakes in entire show

Continuity: On Max's first run with Sketchy, she spots a police drone and swerves in traffic to avoid it. In the shot where she swerves, Sketchy should be right behind her but has disappeared.

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.

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: When Max is holding Lydia upside down from the window, in one shot of Max you can see the harness used to hold Lydia.

Plot hole: In the hoverdrone footage, Peter goes down suddenly during the gunfight, apparently from a wound to either the head or torso. However, there is no wound or blood on him and even his bulletproof vest has no marks except for the normal studs. If he had been hit in an extremity he would not have limply collapsed instantly. Sonrisa's goons are using automatic weapons that should have no trouble hitting him many times from that range of only a few meters.

Continuity: In the hoverdrone footage, Logan has a large scrape on his left cheek. When Max finds him in the hospital, the scrape is on his right cheek and his left is clean.

Continuity: The strand of hair on the left side of Max's face changes position when Sonrisa tells her, "You'd better hope you're as smart as you think you are," at the end of their meeting.

Continuity: At the motel, Max crosses her arms while she listens to Bruno's compliments. Her right hand is under her left arm, but switches to over her left arm just before she steps forward.

Continuity: There are three shots of Bruno on the ground after Max knocks him down in the motel room. In the first, his tie is over his jacket, in the second shot it's under, and in the third the tie is pushed off farther to the right than it was before.

Continuity: Herbal's hand switches from the right side of the collection basket to the left when he takes it from his friend and before he speaks to Normal.

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: During their final conversation, shots on Max show that she is standing up straight but shots on Logan show Max in the background with her head tilted to her right.

Factual error: Max breaks into the hospital dispensary by shoving a knife into the gap between the jamb and the door itself, which forces the curved latch tongue back into the mechanism and allows her to open the door. However, she opens the door outward. The curve of the latch tongue always faces inward, the way the door swings, and there is no way Max could hit this to open the door with a straight thrust as shown.

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.

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: When Kendra bribes Walter, the establishing shot shows his arm on top of the car door with his hand inside but the next shot shows his hand on top of the door.

Continuity: At the beginning of the episode, Logan hands Max a stack of Alina's photos including a filmstrip longer than the other photos. The strip switches from poking out the left side to poking out the right when Max says, "It's so depressing," then jumps from buried in the stack to the bottom position.

Continuity: As Max examines Alina's photos in the beginning, she twists one vertically. In the next shot from below, all the pictures are horizontal again.

Continuity: Original Cindy's strap constantly switches from running across her chest to running down her right side during her conversation with Herbal and Max in the alley, but her hands never leave her hips.

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.
