Mistake Continuity: In the intro, Illya gets into the car and as he's talking to Solo, finishes the last of his breakfast donut in close-up. When we cut to a two-shot, he finishes the donut all over again. Submitted by Jean G

The King of Knaves Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Revealing: Illya's stunt double during the balcony fight is painfully obvious: his face and bad wig are visible throughout the scene. Submitted by Jean G

The Quadripartite Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Revealing: The Thrush guard Solo & Illya toss over the bridge railing during their escape from the compound is a little too obviously a dummy. Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Revealing: At the very end, in Waverly's office, the boom shadow is prominently visible on the door. Submitted by Jean G

The King of Knaves Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Factual error: Supposedly engraved on a ceremonial sword is the wrong date - 1443 - for the fall of Constantinople. That happened in 1453. Submitted by Jean G

The Neptune Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Revealing: Every time the villains' deadly gas, "hydro," is mentioned, the word is badly and very obviously dubbed in, and doesn't match what the actors' lips are saying. This occurred because the original name used, "freon," turned out to be an existing (and patented) refrigerant gas, so the name had to be changed to avoid a trademark lawsuit. Submitted by Jean G

The Project Strigas Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: When Danfield opens the briefcase, the bundles of money inside are disarrayed, and he jumbles them further. A few shots later, though he hasn't touched them again, they've straightened themselves into nice, neat piles. Submitted by Jean G

The Bow-Wow Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: When they're being chased by the dogs, Illya pulls off Marion Raven's shoes so she can climb the tree. He tosses the shoes into the pool below. But in the next shot, as Marion begins to climb, her shoes are back on her feet - that is, until they both leap from the tree into the pool. Then, her shoes are off again, and already floating in the water. Submitted by Jean G

The Hula Doll Affair (series 3)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Solo gets out of the cab in front of Thrush HQ, the taxi's windows catch a perfect reflection of the camera and a studio light as the driver pulls away. Submitted by Jean G

The 'J' for Judas Affair (series 4)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Revealing: During the foot-chase through Tenza HQ, the Thrush gunman, with Illya in hot pursuit, races around a hallway corner. As Illya runs into the shot, the gunman's shadow reappears on the back wall, revealing the fact that the actor has stopped and is standing back there. Next shot, though, he's running down another corridor and through a door. Submitted by Jean G

The Concrete Overcoat Affair (1) (series 3)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: Solo and Illya, chasing a Thrush agent, are driving a white Dodge. When their car overturns, it not only turns blue, it changes into another model of car altogether. Submitted by Jean G

The Foxes and Hounds Affair (series 2)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the cell, as the camera pans across to Solo at the door, the shadow of someone's hand slapping a large, rectangular shape can be seen on the wall. Submitted by Jean G

The Girls of Nazarone Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Plot hole: Illya dives into the pool to rescue Solo and Lavinia, who've been tied to mattresses and left to drown. Somehow, Illya divines that Solo will be able to free himself. He swims to Lavinia and cuts her free while Solo is still sinking, then heads for the ladder without looking back. Fortunately, his psychic powers are on target: an untied Solo soon appears, swimming free, behind him. Submitted by Jean G

The Deadly Decoy Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: When he's on the hospital gurney, Stryker's hands are extended over his head in one shot, and in the very next, they're tucked down under the covers. Submitted by Jean G

The Giuoco Piano Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Revealing: When they're fleeing down the side of the mountain, Illya and Marion gain a sudden 25 lbs. each, thanks to the use of two very conspicuous stunt doubles. Submitted by Jean G

The Secret Sceptre Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: Solo, Illya and Zia get out of the car and run into the woods, leaving the rear passenger-side door standing open. When they return, the door has somehow closed itself. Submitted by Jean G

The Green Opal Affair (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: Aboard the yacht, Solo tucks his gun into his waistband. Next shot, as he takes cash out of the box, the gun has disappeared. It reappears in the shot after that. Submitted by Jean G

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: In Waverly's office, Illya hones his combat skills by swinging at a suspended wooden block with a baseball bat. When the alarm goes off, Illya puts the bat down on the table, and he and Solo rush to the computer console. In the next, reverse angle shot, the block is still hanging from the ceiling, but the baseball bat has vanished from the table. Submitted by Jean G
