The Wild Wild West ( 1965 )

Revealing mistake: The scar makeup on Montgomery's face begins peeling off as he is giving his speech.

Continuity mistake: West and Gordon are being chased by members of the Legion, who wear green uniforms and black hats, but the stock footage of the chase shows the blue uniforms of regular U.S. Cavalry troopers.

Continuity mistake: The stock footage of West and Gordon being chased in the wagon by the Legion soldiers shows eight troopers, but other scenes show only four.

Continuity mistake: West sprinkles a thin line of powder into a circular shape surrounding him, but before the powder ignites and burns through the floor, it is thicker and has a wider circumference.

Continuity mistake: The stock footage of the wagon West is driving has a large opening in the front of the canopy as he is being chase down by the horsemen, but the close ups of West driving show a much smaller canopy on the wagon.

Continuity mistake: Stock footage of the wagon West drives to escape the horsemen shows a team of four horses, but the closer scenes show a team of only two horses pulling the wagon.

Continuity mistake: The long shots of the wagon West is driving shows it being chased by the horsemen in moonlight, lighting up the terrain showing trees, rocks, and scrub, but the close up of West driving shows nothing but blackness in the background.

Continuity mistake: Throughout this episode, West's hair keeps switching from being parted on the left and being flat to being combed from the right in a sweeping higher volume style. Before the title appears, in the inside fight scene, it is parted on the right. In the scene after, the part of West's hair has moved to the left side and remains during the scene in the garden house. When West goes through the garden house trap door, right after he enters the home through a secret passage, West's hair is combed from the right with the sweeping more volume hair. After the fight in that room, as he is breaks through the glass, once outside, his hair goes back to being parted on the left and being flat again. The next scene his hair changes to the more full version. West's hair goes flat again when he is with Gordon in the garden house right before the third frozen panel appears (of the five panels in every episode). His hair changes to right combed version when he enters the home with Gordon through the secret passage and remains this way for the rest of the episode.

Continuity mistake: Before the title appears, there is an inside fight scene in which there is large dirt smudge on the seat of West's right side above his chaps. As he is exits the door, the back of his pants is completely clean.

The Night of the Turncoat - S3-E13

Factual error: Artemus Gordon is standing in the train car throwing plastic darts. Plastic wasn't invented then, it would have been natural feather.

The Night of the Turncoat - S3-E13

Visible crew/equipment: As West is swimming in the water tank that is filled with dangerous sea creatures (Hammerhead sharks, etc.) a modern day (1960's) frogman is swimming behind West in the tank.

The Night of the Iron Fist - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Throughout this episode, the camera shots alternate in showing two trains. After West handcuffs Count Draja on the stage coach, a train is shown with two flags - one on each side of the smokestack (at slanted angles), and the bottom front grill is black. The second time the train appears, the flag is vertical off the side of the train, and the bottom grill has changed to red. The third time the train is shown, there are no flags. The fourth time the train appears, it is the original with two slanted flags and black grill. In the final train shot, the bottom grill has changed to red.

The Night of the Running Death - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: In the last scene in the train's box car, after Princess Silva's departure, all three wine glasses are suddenly almost empty when in the shot before, they were more full. Also, both napkins on the table are rearranged between the two table shots.

The Night of the Arrow - S3-E16

Factual error: The soldiers toss Artemus into the cell, slam the door and walk away. But they never produce a key or lock the cell door. He's somehow locked in anyway, though. (00:24:30)

The Night of the Arrow - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: In the last scene in the train car before President Grant walks in, two bottles are in the middle of the table (labels facing away from one another) with four glasses behind them. When the President enters and walks towards the table, both bottles are now placed further back (labels are now facing to the front) with the four glass and an ashtray in front of the bottles. After the President refuses a drink of wine, the table is back to the original setup - labels faces away one another and glasses are behind the bottles; the ashtray is no longer there.

The Night of the Arrow - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: In the scene before the second freeze frame appears, West is wearing a white shirt with a black neckerchief and blue corduroy jacket. In the close-up of West being handcuffed, he is wearing a blue vest and a different non-corduroy blue jacket. For the rest of the episode, West wears the original white shirt with black neckerchief and blue corduroy jacket.

The Night of the Headless Woman - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: When West comes out of the water, he is soaking wet, but when he sneaks onto the stagecoach and fights with the driver, both his hair and clothes are dry.

The Night of the Vipers - S3-E18

Revealing mistake: The final gun battle in town has a gunman in a tower shooting at West. The gunman's perch is enclosed on all four sides by a bannister, but when West returns fire, shooting the gunman out of the tower, the bannister in front of the gunman has disappeared, allowing the stuntman a clear path to fall out of it.
