The King of Thieves

⇑

⇓

Audio problem: One of the perils of filming on location is employing local talent with accents too thick to be understood. Here, both the Italian actors playing the kidnappers are very obviously dubbed over.

Visible crew/equipment: When Madison and his political entourage walk down the hallway, the shadow of the camera precedes them, moving along the wall on the left.

The Second Time Around

⇑

⇓

Factual error: Wally's car phone operates just fine - without the huge exterior antenna it would have required in 1969.

To Lure a Man

⇑

⇓

Factual error: Mundy makes a phone call by wiring a radio speaker to the wall jack. Clever, but it wouldn't work. He might be able to hear dial tone, etc., but no one he called would be able to hear him without a microphone/sound pick-up, which the radio didn't have.

The Scorpio Drop

⇑

⇓

Continuity: Angela's limo picks up Mundy and drives down a tree-lined country road. But in the very next shot, the view out the back window is of a busy city street with nary a tree in sight.

Fortune City

⇑

⇓

Revealing: The saloon's upper level railing looks solid until just before the bad guy falls through it, when the cuts in the break-away section are prominently visible.

⇑

⇓

Continuity: Mona draws a heart in the dust on the bar and writes "Al + Mona" inside it. When we see a close-up it, however, the L is suddenly much larger than before, and the name "Mona" is written in smaller letters.

Situation Red

⇑

⇓

Deliberate "mistake": We see the Air Force plane's bomb bay doors come open. But in the next shot of the plane banking, the doors are instantly closed again.

To Sing a Song of Murder

⇑

⇓

Continuity: At the airport, Mundy asks Marilyn what's wrong and places his hands on her shoulders. Then the shot cuts to a reverse angle, and his hands are resting on top of the car door instead.

Beyond a Treasonable Doubt

⇑

⇓

Revealing: Somehow you'd think that a gadget-happy government spy agency would be capable of replacing a dead battery. The clock in the SIA HQ board room remains at 10:10 throughout the entire 5-minute interrogation scene with Mundy.

⇓

Audio problem: When Mundy escapes, Devon shouts, "Stop him!" But his lips aren't moving when we hear the words shouted, and when his lips do mouth the words several seconds later, there's no sound.
