Unearthed (season 2, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Lincoln and LJ have been recognized by the waitress, they speed off down a road. During their conversation in the car, whenever we see LJ from (his) right side, his hair is blowing in a strong draft, and is blown away from the temple. In all other shots, his hair is completely calm, and is hanging down and forward, covering his right temple completely.

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Scofield has water poured in to his glass the water level isn't even a quarter full, however, when it cuts back the glass is half full.

Subdivision (season 2, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Season 2, episode 6. While the guys are digging in the garage, Michael tells Sucre about the website they can use, as C-Note walks in. He closes the door behind him, but misses the catch, and you can see the door start to swing open again behind him as he walks further into the room. Cut to Lincoln for a second, then to a wide shot, and the door is now firmly closed.

Cute Poison (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Near the end, when Michael is unscrewing the sink before kicking the wall in, watch his hands in the foreground while he is talking to Sucre. Just when Sucre says "But what you were doing up there in the infirmary." Michael starts using his fingers to take the bolt out. You can see that there is no bolt, just him turning air, with a mystery 'unscrewing' sound effect.

Otis (season 2, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: In the scene where Bellick is about to commit suicide, his mother yells that there is a reward on the Fox River Eight. When Bellick replies, he is speaking very low, almost whispering, but his mother seems to hear him loud and clear.

Edit Time

All of series 2 (season 2)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Series 2, Episode 11: Linc arrives to the 'Bolshoi Booze' location at 17:45. It is an 8 hour drive from Trinidad Colorado to that location, which is right on the Texas - New Mexico border. That means that they would have had to have left at 09:45 that morning. But they don't appear to have stayed a night at Linc's father's place - and in none of the other plot lines has it been night. They couldn't have covered that ground in the time span of the plot.

The Mother Lode (season 4, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: While looking at a doctored photo of Lincoln and his mother, Lincoln mentions that Michael was born in 1976, but at the end of "Killing Your Number", it reads on Michael's grave stone that he was born in 1974.

The Message (season 2, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Episode 2x15, "The Message": when Mahone is on the phone with Agent Kim, Mahone's cell phone jumps back and forth from his right ear to his left ear.

Edit Submitted by Cubs Fan

Disconnect (season 2, episode 12)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Episode 2x12, "Disconnect": The Kansas police arrest Bellick for, and he is subsequently convicted of, Geary's murder based in part on a threatening voice mail he left on Geary's phone. But the message's time and date would match the records of Bellick's admittance into the hospital, thus proving him innocent of the crime.

Edit Submitted by Cubs Fan

Chicago (season 2, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As the train is approaching the police road block, we get a shot behind the police cars right before the train hits them. At that point all the policemen are gone. In the next shot, the policemen are back by the police cars.

Riots, Drills and the Devil (2) (season 1, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: In Riots, Drills and the Devil Part 2, when LJ's mom turns off the TV, the camera man's image can be seen in the glass next to the television.

Edit Time

First Down (season 2, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: All throughout the car chase, the car Michael and Lincoln are in has a license plate on the front bumper. But after Bellick has forced their car off the road, the car makes a jump before hitting a tree, and while it is in mid-air you can see that the license plate has disappeared.

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Episode "Cute Poison": When Veronica is having coffee with Nick, she picks up her cup to take a sip and is holding it around the rim. When the shot changes she is holding it by the handle.

Edit

Flight (season 1, episode 22)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Pope bursts into the infirmary and sees Westmoreland's body, watch the collar of Westmoreland's jacket. You can see it moving up and down as though he's breathing.

Edit

Otis (season 2, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Michael is sitting in the park he's staring at the front page of the newspaper. As the camera follows a man in the park you can see that Michael has opened to the midpages, but in the next shot Michael is looking at the front page again, before opening it another time.

All of series 2 (season 2)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In the episode "Map 1213", when C-Note leaps out of the train, you can see that the man jumping out of the train is a stuntman. He is much chubbier than C-Note and his face is completely different.

Edit

J-Cat (season 1, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Before being sent to psyche ward, Michael had brutally hurt his right hand by repeatedly punching it at the cement wall of the cell. But moments later,seen in psyche ward after being cleaned up, there's no sign of any hurt on that hand, even no gauze covering at all. We can see his normal good hand.

Manhunt (season 2, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: S02E01 - When the member of Terrance Steadman's security team shoots Veronica Donavan, the wound shown in the front of her head is an exit wound, while the exit wound should have been in the back of her head since she was shot from the front.
