Guadalcanal/Leckie - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the battle at the end of the episode, we see some Japanese troops coming out from the jungle. The Marines then shoot a machine gun, killing them. But pay attention to the ammo belt. All the bullets are blanks. (00:38:50)

Revealing mistake: Jamie prepares to split a giant heavy log in two, with her bionic arm, so that it will fit into her fireplace. Just as her arm comes down, you can see the middle seam where the log was pre-cut for the shot, so that it easily breaks in two. (00:00:30)

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: In the Batcave, the protagonist looks at the newspaper clipping about the death of her mother. The rightmost column has a headline "Children traumatized after ride of terror", and a sign ("by Lucy Moguire"). And yet, it begins like this; "With the population of the planet ever increasing, so does the demand on Earth's resources." It's a lazy copy and paste by the prop department, putting some global warming report as filler text. (00:27:40)

Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: When the big battle starts, Boba and Mando appear using their jet packs. As Boba lands with one foot forwards, sand is thrown up into the air, but the sand is a special effect coming from about a metre in front of Boba, not from the foot itself. The result is very unconvincing.

Malice - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: Angelica and the other children are about to crash through the door to attack Lyra and Will. As Lyra runs past a cabinet, a lamp sitting on top is knocked over and crashes to the floor. Dafne Keene, who plays Lyra, reached over and very obviously pushed the lamp to the floor.

Revealing mistake: Tod parks his car across the street, facing left. While standing in front of the house Ellen and Peter run to Peter's vehicle and drive off to the right. Tod goes back across the street and gets back in the Corvette. The image is then flipped to give the illusion that he is driving in the direction Ellen and Peter went. (00:21:00)
