Continuity mistake: When Goldfinger's henchman (the one who falls victim to the ejector seat) gets into the Aston Martin with Bond, he can be seen pointing a Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special" at him. However, he can then be seen holding a Walther P38.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Visible crew/equipment: When Sofia and Brass arrive at the interrogation room where Dwight is, you can see a red tape mark on the floor outside the door which Louise Lombard promptly glances down at and makes a point of placing her left foot on it. This has nothing to do with the fact that the "Hard Crime" film crew are following them because they're only observing.

Continuity mistake: The Pontiac Fiero that is seen underneath the Hummer is a different (but newer) model than the one that was briefly seen driving away from the taco stand.

Dead Ringer - S4-E20
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Grissom notices the body and pulls over, in the close up of him you can see that the steering wheel never moves: he just moves his hand to make it look like he's pulling over.

Miami Vice (1984)
Other mistake: When Tubbs and Castillo are talking in the entrance way of the Senator hotel, at the end of their dialogue Philip Michael Thomas makes a very clear gesture with his right hand, which is Don Johnson's cue to finish his phone call in the background and approach the others.
18th Sep 2011
Miami Vice (1984)
Visible crew/equipment: When Crockett and Tubbs are being escorted by boat to Bramlette's hideout by his wife Cassie, in a shot from the riverbank you see that Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas have been replaced by doubles. Although their backs are to the camera, it's plain to see that they look nothing like the actors who they're replacing. Especially Crockett's.

Miami Vice (1984)
Continuity mistake: Zito's beard keeps disappearing and reappearing throughout this series due to the episodes not being shown in the order in which they were filmed.

Miami Vice (1984)
Down for the Count (2) - S3-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Crockett, Tubbs and Switek enter the mall at the end of the episode to prevent the hit on Guzman, Philip Michael Thomas has been replaced with an older looking stunt double who tries his best not to have his face in shot by immediately taking cover. In the next scenes in the mall, Tubbs has disappeared completely.

When Irish Eyes Are Crying - S3-E1
Visible crew/equipment: During Crockett & Tubbs' first meeting with arms dealer Max Klizer, a boom mic can be seen at the bottom of the screen in one shot.

The Prodigal Son (1 & 2) - S2-E1
Factual error: When Crockett takes out the hitmen in the nightclub, he fires 13 shots from his Detonics CombatMaster without reloading, when it has a maximum capacity of 6.
4th Sep 2011
Miami Vice (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Clemente's messenger gets startled by Tubbs whilst talking to Crockett at the hotel pool, he pulls a Colt Python on them, which changes to a Smith & Wesson Model 19 with a bo-mar rib in a closeup.
4th Sep 2011
Miami Vice (1984)
Cool Runnin' - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: According to the ballistics report, the Jamaican hitters use "Interarms" (instead of Interdynamic) KG-99 submachine guns. However, the lead thug actually uses a Smith & Wesson M76, and his cohorts Jimmy & Winston use Star Z70s.
4th Sep 2011
Miami Vice (1984)
Audio problem: When Gina shoots Nico Arroyo at the end of the episode, she fires twice but only one shot is heard.
4th Sep 2011
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Getting Off - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Jamal is been helped out of Ed Burnell's wrecked BMW 7 Series, the wrecked car is a late 80s-early 90s E32 model. However when Burnell was driving it at the beginning of the episode, it was a newer late 90s-early 00s E38 model. Again, the production crew couldn't afford to wreck a brand new car so an older one was substituted.
4th Sep 2011
Miami Vice (1984)
Revealing mistake: When Bobby Diaz gets shot by Glenn McIntyre at the end of the episode, it causes him to fire his Beretta at the jetty he's standing on. Despite being at very close range, the deck remains unaffected by the gun shooting it. He also lacks any gunshot wounds.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Sara has finished processing Melanie Grace at the slot machine, Melanie gets down from her chair and a uniformed officer can be seen helping her down. However in the next shot the officer has disappeared completely.

Cats in the Cradle... - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Marcie Tobin's BMW 7 Series changes from a newer (at the time) E38 model to the first generation E23 when it explodes. Obviously the production couldn't afford to blow up a brand new car so the older model was substituted.
30th Jul 2011
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Continuity mistake: The Camaro at the crash scene is a late second generation model (built from 1970 - 1981), however in the flashbacks to the crash it's a third generation car (82 - 92). The difference in body styles is quite pronounced.
26th Jul 2011
Casino Royale (2006)
Trivia: The name of the hotel Bond stays at in Montenegro is the Hotel Splendide, which was the title of a film Daniel Craig previously starred in.

And Then There Were None - S2-E9
Factual error: Ballistics expert Bobby Dawson mispronounces the word "Koch" in the term "Heckler and Koch". He pronounces it "kotch" instead of the correct, "koch" (rhyming with lock0. A ballistics expert would know the correct way.
9th Jul 2011
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Brass is searching for Ellie's car on his in-car computer, it identifies it as a 1976 Camaro, however when he spots it and calls for back up, he says it's a '78 Camaro. Additionally, the licence plate is also different to what was listed on the computer.

Character mistake: When Catherine goes to view Kristy Hopkins' body, she calls Doc Robbins "David", even though his first name's "Albert".

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Continuity mistake: The magazine in Bond's modified assault rifle changes length several times during the pre credits sequence. Whenever you see Pierce Brosnan's face, the rifle has the bigger 30 round mag, and whenever you don't see his face, this being his stunt double Wayne Michaels, the rifle has the smaller magazine. (This is seen in the jacket collar picture.)
17th Jun 2011
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Bond knocks out the MiG's copilot with the helmet, in the shot from behind the pilot (where Bond is quite obviously Pierce Brosnan) he is seen with a Beretta 92FS. However in the shot from behind Bond (now stuntman Wayne Michaels), the gun the copilot drops is now a Browning BDA. (00:05:30)

The World is Not Enough (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Bond tells Renard that Elektra is dead, in the over-the-shoulder shot of Pierce Brosnan, you can see him making faces at Robert Carlyle (just before he starts screaming). However in the next shot of Bond's face, it's as if his face hasn't changed.
Suggested correction: The close-ups of Renard do not make it clear enough to see what Bond's expressions are.
You can see his face to the right of the screen mouthing something.

The World is Not Enough (1999)
Continuity mistake: The gun that Elektra uses near the climax and which Bond takes from her is a Colt Mk IV Series 70. However, when he's on the submarine, it turns into a regular M1911A1. Compare the finish on the wood grips and the fact that the Series 70 has a stainless barrel, whereas the 1911 doesn't.
Suggested correction: There are a lot of bad guys on the submarine, it's entirely possible that Bond has killed one of them between shooting Electra and pulling the gun out again. chances are he may have even lost it when he dived to the sub.
I went back and checked this. The sequence of events after killing Elektra make a point of showing him tuck the gun in his trousers. He dives, swims to the submarine, and interrupts a sailor that is closing the hatch by kicking this man in the face and sneaking onboard. Literally the next shot after, a bald bad guy is walking down a corridor towards the camera and the gun comes into frame (held by Bond) and stops the bad guy in his tracks. Note the gun that is shown is drenched in water and it is the wrong gun from earlier at Elektra's. The hammer is not stainless steel and it is missing the gold insignia on the grip. You can even kind of make this detail out as the gun is shown still tucked in Bond's pants when he makes it down the ladder when entering the sub. It seems to already be the wrong gun. Besides the gun being covered in water, we just saw Bond kick a bad guy in the face and just a second after in the next shot he's holding up this second bad guy. To assume he needed to switch guns in between this very brief cut makes little sense when we just saw he had the gun tucked in his pants from Elektra's.

Goldeneye (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Alec confronts Bond in the storeroom at the beginning of the film, he's seen pointing a suppressed Browning BDA at him; however in the other scenes the gun switches to an anachronistic Browning BDM (as this sequence is set in 1986). The BDM is what Trevelyan uses during the climax. (00:03:30)
15th Jun 2011
Goldfinger (1964)
Continuity mistake: When Bond trades shots with Goldfinger's men, after the first part of the car chase at the factory, his PPK has turned into a Walther P38.

Continuity mistake: During the shootout at Kobe docks, Bond's PPK changes into a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless.
15th Jun 2011
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Other mistake: When Bond shoots Stromberg down the barrel of the undertable spear gun, his PPK visibly suffers from a stovepipe jam (the blank round becoming stuck in the ejection port) twice, possibly due to a repeat shot. However Bond is then seen firing several more shots into Stromberg without clearing the jam.
