Continuity mistake: When Indy is at the Lion's Head reading from the diary, he has the diary in his right hand and moves his right hand away from him towards the rock wall. The next shot is a long shot and shows Indy holding the diary with both hands in front of him by his midsection.

Continuity mistake: In the contract scene between Wonka and Mr. Beauregard, when Wonka is asking to begrudge him a little protection via the contract, Wonka's right hand is holding his cane at waist level, but the next quick cut shows his right arm extended down, with the cane tip planted on the floor.

Operation Firefly - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: As Doctor Abbott sits in a chair before Steve breaks through the window, Abbott's hand is by his head. The scene cuts; now he has an open book in his lap. Another scene cut, and the book is gone.

Continuity mistake: When Kevin strips the beads off the necklace strings as he is being chased by Harry and Marv, the beads scatter. However, when Harry and Marv slip on the beads, the beads are concentrated in a tight area.

The Werewolf - S1-E5

Factual error: The story is set during one of Chicago's worst winters, complete with snow and ice, but the footage of the 747 Carl Kolchak is flying on shows the plane taking off from an airfield without snow or ice to be seen.

The Werewolf - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the 747 takes off from the airport, the livery (airline colours) of the plane changes three times before it lands, including stock footage of a Boeing 747 sporting Boeing logos and the model of the plane (747).

Continuity mistake: When Buzz is eating the pieces of pizza in front of Kevin, the frontal shots of Buzz show him eating with his left hand, but the shots over Buzz's right shoulder (facing Kevin) show Buzz eating with his right hand.

The Twilight Zone (1959)

Operation Firefly - S1-E3

Factual error: When Steve plays the guitar, his bionic right hand is strumming very fast, and the sound of the guitar goes from a low-pitch sound to a higher-pitch sound. Going up in pitch relies on the chording hand (Steve's left) and can only happen when the guitarist moves his chording hand up the guitar neck to the guitar's body.
