The Message - S2-E15
Factual error: The 450 Mile road circle discussed by both Michael Scofield and Agent Mahone wouldn't be the size shown as they are traveling by car, not plane or foot. (00:20:15)
Character mistake: When C-Note is using the woman's computer on the train, the Army website says "Access my be denied to some parts of this site" instead of "Access MAY be denied." (00:21:00)
Riots, Drills and the Devil: Part 1 - S1-E6
Factual error: During the last several minutes when the Governor and warden are discussing the current situation and the status of the governor's daughter, a cut away shot is shown stating that it is the Capitol Building Springfield, Illinois. The Capitol building shown is in fact the Capitol of Connecticut, in Hartford CT. (00:31:40)
Factual error: When they have escaped, and the dogs are barking at them as they hide in the bushes, this couldn't have happened the way the show presented it. The spot that they escaped is on the main road (Collins Street, also, it was to the left of the screen from where Joliet Jake came out in 'The Blue's Brothers) The dogs are barking at them as they hide in the bushes, and that location is on the -other- side of the Prison. There is NO way that they would be able to circle around the prison and get from one side to the other considering in the front, there are fences surrounding the main building, obstructing you from going that way. The back side of the Prison (There it a road next to a junk yard located right next to the Prison, the same road that is used to get to the 'Gate' the cons are looking at when the dogs are barking. That road would have been full of cops, since all the cops are in the parking lot. It would have been more believable if they would have went across the street to where the women's facility was, and were shown on camera looking across to the parking lot out front. (00:05:50)
Continuity mistake: When Abruzzi's lawyer tells Abruzzi he is broke, Abruzzi points at him saying "I told you from the beginning what would happen if he screwed me." When it cuts Abruzzi's hand is suddenly lowered. (00:15:00)
The Old Head - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: In the episode "The Old Head" when Michael gives the cat back to Westmoreland, from the side, the cats paw is on his shoulder but when the angle changes to the front, it has moved down to his chest. (00:17:45)
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: 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.
Factual error: When Veronica has a conversation with Stedman, he tells her that he can't escape and that the glass is 2 inches thick. However, if the glass in the door was 2 inches thick, the wood door would have to be 5-6 inches thick to even support such thick glass. The door would be extremely heavy. And it obviously went unnoticed by Veronica as she entered the home with no effort.
Audio problem: The episode where Michael and Alex play chicken with their cars, when returning to the road after they scrape cars, there are sound effects of peeling tires. You can't squeal tires on dirt.
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.
Continuity mistake: In Season 2: Episode 9-"Unearthed" when Bellick is talking to T-Bag in the house, he pulls up a chair to sit down in front of T-Bag. When he pulls the chair out and starts to sit down, the chair is backwards, but in the next shot it's facing T-Bag. (00:38:10)
Rendezvous - S2-E10
Plot hole: Linc is arrested in Wilcox, Arizona and is rescued by his father's people. They then take him to Trinidad in Colorado, an 8 and a half hour journey by car - they are seen in the same van. However in those 8 hours, it's not noticed that a) The police unit had been attacked and b) Lincoln Burrows, one of the 8 most wanted men in the USA, had escaped. Surely in 8 hours someone would have noticed. (00:07:35)
First Down - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: The front licence plate disappears from Link's car as it hits the tree. (00:03:20)
First Down - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: Throughout the entire car chase, you can see through the front window of both cars, including as Linc and Michael are run off the road. However, when the car gets airborne and hits the tree, the glass on the windscreen is now frosted up, so you can see no one is in the car when it hits the tree. (00:03:10)
First Down - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: During the car chase at the beginning, there is a shot of the cars speeding off just before we see the truck approaching. However, look carefully and you will see the truck parked up, waiting to move. (00:02:40)
