Breakout! - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Just as Murdock gets to the point of jamming the brakes to stop the van, the chase scene is outside. If you look just to Murdock's left in the closeups, you can see a corrugated metal wall that isn't moving, with only the van bouncing a bit.

Beneath the Surface - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: As Murdock stands on the deck to dive in the water, he has two bottles of pressurized air on his back. The next shot shows him under water, with only one bottle on the back. The rest of the scene shows him once again with two bottles of air. (00:34:00)

The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas - S1-E7

Other mistake: When the two women first see the bus pull up and get on, the next scene we see when it picks up BA is the same video footage as when it arrived to pick them up. You can also see the same pink neon lights in the reflection of the bus and bus stop before it quickly cuts away. (00:02:50 - 00:04:20)

Show generally

Other mistake: In his numerous appearances, Col. Roderick Decker (played by Lance LeGault) was leading the Military Police squad, and though he was Army, he always had a Marines cap on.

Steel - S2-E11

Factual error: During the final battle, Hannibal is holding and firing an M-60 machine gun. However, his firing pattern is way too smooth, according to veterans that have done it.

Movie Nut

Without Reservations - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: The whole start of this episode is exactly the same footage from S1E9 Holiday in the Hills. This gives rise to a small mistake when Frankie boards the plane. This shot must have been filmed years after the rest of the opening scene, as Frankie joins the A-Team only in season 5. You can see this when Hannibal catches the briefcase from Face: then the side of the plane has red identification lettering on its side. When Frankie finally boards the plane this lettering has disappeared, because it's another plane. (00:04:20)

More trivia for The A-Team

Answer: Several times, Face would pose as a doctor to get Murdock out of the Mental Hospital. How easy would it have been to convince airport officials that he was a doctor taking a sedated patient on board? Or simply tell them, this man is afraid of flying, so he had to be sedated. They could say, "Believe me, you don't want this man to be awake."

Answer: The reply does not answer the question. It does not ask how they sedated him, but how a sedated person can be checked in at the airport.

Answer: In the pilot episode, they would give him a tranquilizer dose with a needle injection. In two episodes, he tried to fly awake but went wild once in the air. In another episode, when hijackers held a plane, it was on the ground. When it took off, B.A. went into a catatonic state.
