Continuity mistake: When Mahone is in the bar at the start, his hand is constantly changing from up at his mouth to down by his side. (00:09:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When McGrady's dad is told to get out of there, a camera shadow is seen to move over the guard's uniform. (00:14:20)
Deliberate mistake: *SPOILER ALERT* Behind T-Bag is the actor who plays Lechero, and Lechero had just died in the episode. The person was not Lechero, but maybe they didn't have another extra at hand to replace him. 'Time 1' and 'Time 2' are taken from Netflix at the time this was posted. (00:29:46 - 00:30:25)
Continuity mistake: The shadows and lighting change throughout the scene with T-bag giving the money to the prisoners. At one point he is in shadow, the next full sun.
Continuity mistake: In season 1 Lincoln says his mother died of liver cancer. In season 4 they said she died from a brain tumour.
Other mistake: Michael goes to Fox River in April. Maricruz gets pregnant in the same month. In mid-June, when Michael get arrested in Panama, she's still pregnant. That's 2 months. He was in there for about 2 weeks, due to his deal with the company. Therefore, he would have escaped Sona at the end of June or the start of July. The start of Season 4 is set 3 weeks after the escape from Sona, so Maricruz should be 3 months pregnant, but gives birth at the start of season 4, meaning that the baby is 6 months early but looks very healthy.
Continuity mistake: At the car dealer where Don Self speaks to the seller, the seller says "How did you find me?" and they are inside the car dealership. Don responds with "I've never lost you". Suddenly when Don answers they are outside the building, like they teleported. (00:13:25)
Continuity mistake: After Sucre and the driver of Stuart's car wreck, another car pulls up behind and starts honking. Cut to a shot from behind the cars and there is a whole line of cars waiting. They weren't there in the opposite angle.
Audio problem: When Gretchen kills the guy in the prison he lets out a very obvious fake scream similar to a Wilhelm scream. Also, he is being choked around the neck, how is he able to make the scream? Take note of when you see this scene in the next episode's review. The guy doesn't make the scream in that version.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when Mahone is trying to escape from the restricted area, Sarah looks into the window of the door to see him. The camera moves in as well and you can see it reflected in the glass.
Continuity mistake: Episode 4x7, "Five the Hard Way": when Gretchen calls Agent Self at the end of the episode, Self's phone shifts from being in his right hand and ear to his left hand and ear.
Continuity mistake: When Sara comes to visit Gretchen is a little mistake. When Sara makes a little cut in Gretchen's throat, the wound looks different sometimes, and at one point completely vanishes.
Visible crew/equipment: There is a scene when the camera is moving fast around the outside of T-bag's office near the beginning. In one shot the camera person's back or leg is reflected in the glass.
The Legend - S4-E10
Audio problem: When Mahone is speaking to Baker, just after Michael goes under the X-Ray, Baker says ' My goal is to build one city that entirely self sustains'. After this, Baker's words do not match the actor's mouth, from the shot behind him; 'Depending on no outside resources'. (00:19:45)
The Legend - S4-E10
Visible crew/equipment: Right as the agents are closing in on David and Mahone, there is a shot looking at David with the sun coming in toward him. On the left hand side of the screen, the shadow of the camera is visible.
The Legend - S4-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Sarah leaves with Michael to go to the hospital, a film light is visible in the driver's side of the black SUV. It's a large diffused light.
Going Under - S4-E15
Continuity mistake: Michael is discussing a bargain with Sara but when he first draws it out it's in squares, then when the clipboard is lying flat on his stomach the letters are circled.
Going Under - S4-E15
Revealing mistake: Sucre and Linc are driving to the pier and there is a shot looking at their SUV. In the background you can see a cop directing traffic away from the shot. It's fairly obvious.
