Brother's Keeper (1 & 2) (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Leon is walking down the street, right before Crockett jumps in his car, the camera crew are visible in the shop windows the entire length of the scene, moving along with Leon.

⇓

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Crockett and Tubbs first meet at the deal, after the cops bust the deal too early, Tubbs steals Crockett's boat to get away. As he's driving the boat away, you see a second person kneeling down in the back of the boat, most likely a crew member. Very obvious.

Cool Runnin' (season 1, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: According to the ballistics report, the Jamaican hitters use "Interarms" (instead of Interdynamic) KG-99 submachine guns. However, the lead thug actually uses a Smith & Wesson M76, and his cohorts Jimmy & Winston use Star Z70s.

Glades (season 1, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Crockett and Tubbs are being escorted by boat to Bramlette's hideout by his wife Cassie, in a shot from the riverbank you see that Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas have been replaced by doubles. Although their backs are to the camera, it's plain to see that they look nothing like the actors who they're replacing. Especially Crockett's.

The Milk Run (season 1, episode 12)

⇑
⇓

Other: When Tubbs and Castillo are talking in the entrance way of the Senator hotel, at the end of their dialogue Philip Michael Thomas makes a very clear gesture with his right hand, which is Don Johnson's cue to finish his phone call in the background and approach the others.

Nobody Lives Forever (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning of the show where three guys take a ride in a convertible and on of them spits at a driver in a truck, pay close attention: the cameraman is visible in the reflection of the convertible, along with two crew members.

Down for the Count (2) (season 3, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Crockett, Tubbs and Switek enter the mall at the end of the episode to prevent the hit on Guzman, Philip Michael Thomas has been replaced with an older looking stunt double who tries his best not to have his face in shot by immediately taking cover. In the next scenes in the mall, Tubbs has disappeared completely.

The Afternoon Plane (season 3, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Many times during the episode, Det. Tubbs and the other characters mention that Tubbs killed Calderone. This is not accurate. In the episode "Caulderone's Return pt. 2," it is actually Crockett that kills Calderone and not Tubbs.

⇑
⇓

Revealing: At the end when Tubbs shoots a man that is using his wife as a hostage, there is no muzzle or blast coming out of the gun.

Red Tape (season 3, episode 19)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Bobby Diaz gets shot by Glenn McIntyre at the end of the episode, it causes him to fire his Beretta at the jetty he's standing on. Despite being at very close range, the deck remains unaffected by the gun shooting it. He also lacks any gunshot wounds.
