Suggested correction: There is no mistake. That was not the end of the gun barrel. Look closely.

Six Lessons from Madame LaGrange - S5-E22

Continuity mistake: When Hogan is talking with Lily Frankel before the double agent comes over, Hogan is lifting his beer. When the camera goes to close up, he's lifting it again. Also, in the long shot, the beer is down about three quarters of an inch from the rim. In the close up, the beer is nearly full.

Movie Nut

The Merry Widow - S5-E24

Continuity mistake: As Schultz marches in with the Kraut platoon, he reports to Klink. As he goes to stand at attention and report, the new tunnel section he's over collapses, and he completely disappears into the hole. The camera goes to a close up on Klink, then back to the hole, and you see Schultz standing in the hole and it's only chest deep.

Movie Nut

Klink's Escape - S5-E26

Continuity mistake: When Klink is "taken hostage" in the barracks, he is in his tunic only. Later in the car he has his overcoat on. He was supposed to be kidnapped, he could hardly ask Hogan to let him slip into his office for his coat.
