The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: In part 2 of the episode, when Jessica is mugged, Angela Lansbury is replaced with a younger and thinner stunt double twice: when she runs away and when she protects herself against the wall.

Appointment in Athens - S6-E1

Revealing mistake: All of the exterior shots of Jessica and Hagarty are wide shots with very obvious stand-ins. Jessica is thinner and younger, while short-haired Hagarty's double is younger, chubbier, and has long hair around the nape.

Death Casts a Spell - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Before Joan leaves the restaurant, she has a glass of wine on her right, but from Jessica's POV, the glass has moved to Joan's left side. Also, Jessica's glass is in front of her, but moves to the right side of the table after Joan leaves.

Death Casts a Spell - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Jessica talks to Lt. Bergkamp, she takes her left hand to her ear to improve her hearing, but from the opposite shot, her hand is lowered.

Death Casts a Spell - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: When Jessica rides on the motorcycle, one can see it's a much younger and thinner stunt double who doesn't resemble Angela Lansbury.

Continuity mistake: Liz Hurley shoots one of the FBI agents seated next to Rane, in the background the other agent can be seen with make-up on waiting to be shot next. Then the angle changes and his blood has vanished.

Revealing mistake: Two mistakes here: Before Darth Vader cuts Luke's hand, he cuts in half three columns. In the close-up, one can see that what held them together was a piece of wrinkled duct tape. In further shots, the tape disappears and only the scorched part of the column is visible.

It's a Dog's Life - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: After Denton falls off his horse, Jessica arrives and jumps off hers. Her stand-in is a much younger and thinner woman who looks nothing like Angela Lansbury.

It's a Dog's Life - S1-E5

Death Takes a Curtain Call - S1-E9

Death Takes a Curtain Call - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: The way the sheriff hands over the phone to Major Anatole Karzofman differs between the first and second shot, with the handset turning 180º.

Sacha ★

Visible crew/equipment: Robocop tries to arrest Dick Jones but fails, and an ED-209 is brought in to destroy Robocop. During their fight scene, it fires a missile at Robocop, and you can see the guide wire that the missile flies along (slo-mo helps but it's not necessary). (01:09:00)

Continuity mistake: When RoboCain kills the chubby man with a moustache, his jacket falls down in the back shots, but it's perfectly fit in the front angle. When he finally collapses, it's falling down again. (01:19:50)

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: A man fires a rocket at a police car driven by Robocop, but when the car overturns and it's shot at, one can see it's empty. A moment later, Robocop opens the door and appears out of nowhere.

Sacha ★

Visible crew/equipment: When Robocop visits Cain's hideout and sends his car in as a decoy, after he returns to the car, watch the driving shot closely. A wire has magically strung itself across the entrance and attached itself to the back of the car - it wasn't visible from an earlier shot. As the car drives forward it stretches the horizontal wire, and just as a tiny amount of pressure is exerted, the car explodes. Yeah, it's technically a mistake, but I think it's more worth checking out just to see how those tricky effects are achieved.
