Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

The Enemy Within (series 1)

The scene takes place where the International peace trough science -event took place. MacGyver and Victoria go back there to think about the incident. MacGyver's friend, Bannister, suffers from a heart attack. MacGyver cuts a microphone cable and binds the cords to a metallic candlestick. MacGyver uses his creation as a some sort of defibrillator. Of course it works and MacGyver saves his friend. The maximum power in the wire is 11-48v DC with the maximum current of 10MA. That is surely not enough for giving huge electric shocks. [This was almost certainly an intentional mistake. Whenever MacGyver did something potentially dangerous, they always left out some crucial step so kids wouldn't try it at home. It's still a mistake, but there was probably a reason for it.]

Thief of Budapest (series 1)

In the scene where MacGyver is meeting his contact Grotsky in the park, Grotsky is reading a paper. Though the story is set in Budapest, the paper Grotsky is holding is Dutch: De Telegraaf. De Telegraaf has a very distinctive logo. As Grotsky folds the paper the letters "De T" from its logo can be seen. Plus a word from a head line "strijd". It seems as though they knew they had the wrong paper: Grotsky is trying his best to obscure as much of it from the camera as possible. [Budapest is a huge city with lots of nationalities there for business or tourism. It is not unusual to find newspapers from foreign countries in a large International city. I can find newspapers from all over the world at a news stand in Vancouver, BC, Canada.]

Pilot (series 1)

During the opening scene, right before Mac and the guy he rescued are going to jump off the cliff, Mac shoots the gun. As most fans will know, Mac doesn't shoot guns, and hasn't since the "childhood tragedy". [So, what's the mistake here? No mistake in this episode, certainly - if subsequent episodes say that he's not fired a gun in that time, then there's an argument that there's an error in those episodes, but him firing off a gun in this episode cannot be considered a mistake.] Corrected by Tailkinker
