Never Wave Goodbye (2) (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Continuity: In Part 1, Kimble worried about Gerard tracing him by a match he left behind. We got a close-up when he tore the match out of the book: it was the 3rd in a row of 5. But here, as he looks at the matchbook and worries again, the close-up shows the only match missing from the book is the 5th one. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Continuity: When Gerard leaves the cell block, Kimble is at the cell door with his hands on the bars. Next shot, as Gerard exits, the cell door is visible in the background, and Kimble is no longer standing there. But in an immediate cut back to the cell, he's back with his hands on the bars again. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Continuity: Dan tosses a silver dollar into the puddle of water and we see it sink. A few shots later, though, the coin is visible again, impossibly "floating" on the puddle's surface. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the flashback to the night of Helen's murder, Kimble drives to the deserted lake after their argument.

Mistake Factual error: This is the only episode in which we see Kimble hotwire and steal a car. But he does it in seconds (two whole decades before MacGyver), with nothing but a foil cigarette package liner. Not likely. He'd need a screw driver or pocket knife, at the very least. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Continuity: Ralph's brother hits him over the head with a bottle, which shatters. When Kimble runs past the same spot a few shots later, though, the broken glass is gone. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Storm Center (series 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Audio problem: The house Kimble and Marcie are holed up in certainly has remarkable soundproofing. There's a 100 mph hurricane raging outside, yet the moment they close the door, it's completely quiet inside. Throughout the episode, the storm sounds are audible only faintly, and only when the hurricane is relevant to the story line. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Continuity: Kimble and Marcie take shelter from a hurricane inside an abandoned house. They go straight to the kitchen to search for food. When they then enter the living room, a fire has appeared in the fireplace, even though no one was out there to build it. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Factual error: Harry falls overboard from the boat's port side. Kimble sees this happen, yet in the next shot, he runs to the starboard side to look for some sign of Harry in the water. (Time) Submitted by Jean G
