The Walking Dead

Consumed - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Daryl is driving the hospital van, it shows that he is going to land upside down, on the vehicle's roof, when he drives off the parking garage. In the next scene, the vehicle lands on its wheels, as if it has done a complete front flip. (00:30:00)

Indifference - S4-E4

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where Daryl's group finds the auto shop, Daryl spits on his hand to wipe the window and is surprised by a zombie banging up against the window. He says, "Got some friends inside" and walks away. The camera pans to the window and a crew member wearing a white hat and (what appears to be) an orange shirt is visible in the reflection. He seems to be taking a picture (probably for continuity, which is pretty ironic). (00:09:50 - 00:33:05)

Spend - S5-E14

Other mistake: Earlier in the season Father Gabriel Stokes burns his clerical collar, but in the end of this episode he is wearing it again. Especially doesn't make sense, because he said he gave up being a pastor.

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: On the roof all the survivors are discussing their escape plan while T-Dog is lying down injured by Merle. In the next scene people are wearing rain coats and covering their bodies with the walker's remains as Rick proposed. T-Dog has taken off his cap and looks fine. Rick gives him the handcuff keys to free Merle. In the scene after, while Rick and Glenn went out the streets, the others go back on the roof to watch them from above. Nobody is wearing a raincoat and also T-Dog is in the same condition as before, lying down with his cap on. (00:24:00 - 00:31:15)

Inmates - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: When Glenn wakes up in the prison you can see two chairs leaning against the walls behind him when he stands up. These are still present in the second shot, but when the camera moves back for the third shot they have mysteriously disappeared.

Welcome to the Tombs - S3-E16

Factual error: When Rick has given Andrea his revolver to end her life, he leaves the room with the others to leave Andrea and Michonne alone. The next thing you see is Rick, Tyrese and Daryl waiting outside the room. You hear the gun go off and then you hear a tinkle as a shell casing hits the floor (noticeably "lighter" than the sound the revolver would make when dropped). Revolvers do not eject a shell casing.

Orrie-Nay Algoust-Fay

Claimed - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: Glenn demands that Abraham stop the truck so he and Tara can get off, the two male characters then have a scuffle. We can see Eugene in the background standing next to the truck facing right of the camera. When the camera cuts back to Eugene by himself, he's now facing the opposite direction. Also the items in the back of the truck move from left to right. If you look carefully, you can see that the entire image was flipped horizontally.

Self Help - S5-E5

Factual error: In the scene at the fire truck, Abraham uses the deck gun to kill walkers. However fire truck water pumps are powered by PTO from the engine, which isn't running.

Home - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: After the part where Merle and Daryl save the people on The Bridge, Merle gets agitated at Daryl and grabs him and rips his shirt. On the left side of Daryl's back, he has tattoos on his right side, but as he walks away he suddenly has the tattoos on his left side. (00:25:50)

No Sanctuary - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when Tyreese and Carol are walking down the railroad tracks towards Terminus, they encounter a herd of walkers coming out of the woods. One of the first walkers to cross the tracks is a male walker wearing a burgundy sweatshirt with a rip in the middle. When gunfire erupts at Terminus, the walkers turn their attention towards it. In the next shot when they start to head towards the sound, we see the same male walker now in the middle of the herd yet to cross the tracks, next shot after that, we again see him at the front of the pack.

Thank You - S6-E3

Other mistake: When Nicholas shoots himself, both him and Glenn fall with their feet facing the dumpster, and their heads facing the walkers. However, when they cut to the shot of presumably Nicholas being eaten, we see Glenn's head facing the dumpster. This does not make any sense. Glenn would have had to do a complete 180 turn before landing, or move around without being detected by walkers. In fact, the way they landed does not make sense at all. The fence seen when Glenn and Nicholas climb on top has also disappeared.

This Sorrowful Life - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Merle is the in big box late 80's chevy with big 20-22 inch rims he is shown driving it in the barn yard drinking, playing music, and zombies following him. The shot changes a few times within the same scene with the big rims on, in one shot the car is shown with him driving it but the stock rims (15") are on the car, the paint of the car looks a little darker too. Then the shot changes again while he is still driving it and the big rims are on the chevy again. The shot that shows the stock rims is a pretty fast shot so it could be easy to miss.

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: Dale threatens to shoot Shane, and Shane walks right up to him until the barrel of Dale's rifle is against his chest. Just before Shane walks up to him, you can see the imprint of the rifle muzzle on Shane's shirt from an earlier take. (00:32:50)

Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Hershel crawls away and the fight begins, in the long shots of the governor's men Hershel's body can not be seen next to the cars, this is from all angles.

Monsters - S8-E3

Other mistake: Eric gets shot while fighting with a group against the Saviors. Aaron carries him to a tree and leaves him so he can continue fighting. When Aaron comes back to check on him, Eric is gone and the gun is left behind. Aaron yells his own name instead of Eric's name. (00:33:30)

Suggested correction: He screams Eric, it just sounds a little odd so the subtitles got it wrong.

Prey - S3-E14

Revealing mistake: When the Governor is hunting Andrea, he smashes a few windows in the building where she's hiding. When he breaks the first two, there's a jet of steam or air, showing that it was broken a split second before he hit it with the shovel. (00:29:04)

Movie Nut

Walk with Me - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: Merle is sitting in a chair and talking with Michonne and Andrea. At one point he takes off the prosthetic on his right arm to show them what used to be his hand (it's only a nub now), but shortly afterwards you can see his right hand in a fist as he puts the prosthetic back on. (00:13:00)

Miss E

Now - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: When Aaron is pinned down by the sewer zombie, the zombie actor's neck can be seen below his head mask.

Suggested correction: I went back and watched this scene several times, and I think the OP is mistaking Aaron's hand on the Walker's neck as the gap in the mask.

Rogue Element - S11-E11

Trivia: Eugene is looking for his missing girlfriend, "Stephanie." Princess visits him. He shows her his pinboard with strings attaching clues. He's found out plumber Roman Calhoun, was the last person to see her and tracks him down to a dodgy outfit at "1634 Racine." This is the home address in "The Untouchables" (1987 film about the capture and imprisonment of Al Capone, starring Kevin Costner & Andy Garcia), of Jimmy the good Irish cop, played by Sean Connery. (00:16:44)

Show generally

Question: Has there been any explanation (in-show or by show creators) about the inconsistency of what attracts Walkers? They've shown that people who cover themselves in Walker guts aren't detected or attacked. When it rained, the rain washed off the guts and then the Walkers do try to attack. But if people hide under cars or don't make noises, the Walkers don't detect them. But it's also been shown that people under a pile of "dead" walkers are still attacked. So what causes a Walker to attack?

Bishop73

Answer: Walkers are attracted to noise, they can tell who's dead and who isn't dead, in S1 when Rick and Glenn cover themselves in walkers' guts they're able to get far by walking through the herd of walkers because they smell like they're dead, but as soon as the guts get washed off by the rain the walkers immediately attack them, if you draw attention to yourself they will attack you which we've seen that many times throughout the series that it's not always successful. Whether you're covered in guts hiding under dead corpses or under a car.

Answer: Walkers use sight and sound to find their prey, with sound being their first choice. When the characters cover themselves in guts, they aren't attacking because they can't "see" them and they're not making any noise. The same goes for when they're hiding under cars - walkers can't hear or see them. They'll go for anything that makes a noise, regardless of what it is. It's also very likely that walkers don't have the ability to smell, since they can't find people hiding under cars. Nor can they smell the Whispers who walk amongst them.
