Continuity: Season 1, episode 9 "Hard Bargain": When the kidnapper holds Michael at gunpoint on the balcony, his hand holding the gun is shaking. In the next shot, from behind, his hand is perfectly still. The shot then switches back, and his hand is shaking again.

Continuity: Season 1, episode 12 ("Loose Ends"). When the heroin importer is questioning Sam, he has his hand around his face, with his fingers touching his ear. When the shot moves to the front, his hand is more on his throat and nowhere near his ear. When we cut to the back, his hand moves again.

Factual error: Season 4, episode 10, "Hard Time". When Fiona slips Michael a "key" during their kiss, Michael keeps it and no problem. In reality, all prisoners are searched thoroughly before returning to their cells. This includes a full oral search.

Continuity: Season 1, episode 12 ("Loose Ends"). When Michael is on the phone with the heroin dealer at the docks, he has his phone at his left ear. When the camera moves to a shot from the back, there's no phone near his face (or in the frame for that matter) and his mouth doesn't move while talking. When the shot cuts back, the phone instantly is back at his ear.

Continuity: Season 1, episode 10 "False Flag": When Michael is talking to Evelyn she picks up her glass and brings it to her mouth. When switching to a different angle her glass is back on the table, and she has her hands on her lap.

Continuity: Season 4, episode 16. When Michael has his gun on the dirty cops head, the gun is resting on his forehead and Michaels hand is on his throat. In the next shot the gun is right between the cops eyes, and his hand is on his chest. This keeps going back and forth a few times.

Continuity: This basically happens in nearly every episode. Whenever Michael's mom is smoking, which she does a lot, her cigarette and smoke change size and position with every shot. Although it's hard to keep a cigarette burning the same way with each take, it seems as if no attempt was made at all.
