Trivia

David McCallum recalls that in this episode, when Illya was supposed to drive a fork lift down a corridor and stop, he accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake, crashed through a wall and demolished the set. While he and Robert Vaughn found it a source of much hilarity, MGM's "bean counters" were reportedly not at all amused. See more...

The Dippy Blonde Affair (season 2, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Pendleton swallows a suicide capsule and collapses at the interrogation table face down between two file folders. But when the shot cuts to a different angle, his head has instantly moved several inches to the right and is resting in the middle of one of the folders instead of in between them.

The Deadly Goddess Affair (season 2, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Hubris and his henchmen confront Narouz, three of the men change positions instantly when the shot cuts to a closer angle. A few shots later, Malik instantly "jumps" from behind Hubris to a spot right beside him.

The Very Important Zombie Affair (season 2, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Solo and Illya move across the room to answer the door, the shadow of the boom can be seen moving in the mirror on the left.

The Bridge of Lions Affair (2) (season 2, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: MGM often recycled props from its earlier films. Here, the head of Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet" is used as part of the rejuvenation machine.

The King of Diamonds Affair (season 2, episode 25)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: At the end, Mr. Waverly puts his newspaper down on the table and prepares to get up. When the shot cuts to a longer view, he puts the paper down again before rising.

⇓

Continuity: Delgado's plane makes a bumpy landing (without a runway) and skids to a stop in the Brazilian jungle, surrounded by palm trees. But when everyone gets off, the plane is suddenly parked in the midst of an industrial compound with buildings all around it, and no palm trees in sight.

The Concrete Overcoat Affair (1) (season 3, episode 11)

⇑
⇓

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.

The Deadly Toys Affair (season 2, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The remote-controlled model plane with the explosive on board keeps changing colors between shots. It's yellow and blue at first, then yellow and red, and in one shot, it's red and white.

The Tigers are Coming Affair (season 2, episode 8)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The gag covering Suzanne's mouth changes position (the patterns on the cloth have shifted) when she gets up to kick the bad guys off the dock into the water.

The Re-Collector's Affair (season 2, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Posing as an art collector, Solo tells the Re-collectors that he owned a valuable painting looted 20 years ago by the Nazis during the war. Improbable at best, and oddly, they don't seem at all curious as to how the 30-something Solo might have afforded such a treasure when he'd have been 12-15 years old at the time.

The Girls of Nazarone Affair (season 1, episode 28)

⇑
⇓

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.

The Brain-Killer Affair (season 1, episode 23)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Solo pushes the chief from Calcutta's wheelchair into an elevator in UNCLE headquarters. The floor going into the lift, however, is visibly solid, with no break to allow for a real elevator's movement.

The Four-Steps Affair (season 1, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Solo is driving on a country road through a wooded area with no street lights. So what are all those bright round lights reflecting on the hood and windshield of his car? UFOs?

The King of Knaves Affair (season 1, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

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

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

The Project Strigas Affair (season 1, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

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.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

The Quadripartite Affair (season 1, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

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

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

The Never-Never Affair (season 1, episode 25)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Mr. Varner spots Illya down the street and says, "I think he's another U.N.C.L.E. agent." His uncertainty is odd: he helped identify and chase Illya earlier in the episode, so he already knew to be fact what he only "thinks" in this later scene.
