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.

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hideout by his wife Cassie, in a shot from the riverbank you see that Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas have been replaced by doubles.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.

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.

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.

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.
