What We Leave Behind - S5-E9

Factual error: When Oliver is hunting Prometheus, they come face to face. Oliver fires an arrow, which is tracked in slow motion before being split by one of Prometheus' throwing stars. Problem is that Oliver's arrow is, well, flying straight as an arrow. But in reality, when you film an arrow in slow motion, they flex and wobble, and definitely wouldn't fly like the one shown on screen.

Guilty - S3-E6

Trivia: Oliver sticking an arrow in a boxing glove to knock out Ted without harming him is a nod to the comics, where a boxing glove arrow was quite common in his arsenal of trick arrows. (00:26:20)

Crucible - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: When Oliver is threatening Mathis' lawyer, he shoots him in the shoulder. When Oliver grabs the arrow and pushes it through the shoulder, there is a significant difference between the angles. Where the arrow is coming out, it is practically horizontal, but in the chest, it is at a thirty degree angle.

Three Ghosts - S2-E9

Factual error: When Cyrus punches through the windshield of the truck, it shatters into hundreds of little pieces, like safety glass. Windshields are not made out of safety glass.

Blast Radius - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Oliver tries on his mask for the first time, he is not wearing eye make-up. When the mask is on in the next shot, he suddenly is.

Season 2 generally

Continuity mistake: In season one, Sara is a brunette in Oliver's flashbacks. In this season's flashbacks, she's a blonde (most noticeably the ones aboard the Queen's Gambit).

Season 1 generally

Deliberate mistake: Whenever Deathstroke is on screen, he has three grenades for a launcher strapped to his chest. But on closer inspection, you can see these grenades are actually BB-gun grenades: You can tell by the very distinctive holes at the tip. They did this because launched grenades are A) very expensive and B) not very safe to walk around with on set. A few of the most noticeable times are when Yao Fei is fighting him when he is freeing Oliver in episode 5 and when Oliver is talking to him in episode 14.

The Undertaking - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: During the hallway gauntlet, Oliver takes a guy out and ends up on his left knee. He then starts to turn right and draws an arrow, which doesn't make any sense because he holds his bow with his left hand and can't get a good shot from that position. What's more, in the following shot, he is turning to his left.

The Huntress Returns - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Oliver takes the circuit board out of the missile launcher, Wilson grabs the radio to get out of there. But when he says "Leverage", the radio is back where it stood.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Oliver drinks his tequila, the hand with which he holds the glass keeps changing.

Friso94

Damaged - S1-E5

Character mistake: When Oliver is brought into Fires' tent, he gets pushed into a pole by one of the guards. Take a close look at his handcuffs. They are so loose, he could easily escape from that. Not only that, but no guard who had any training would ever put handcuffs so loosely on someone they would treat as "hostile".

Honor Thy Father - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Oliver returns from the docks, he puts his bow in the case and his hood down. This is footage which is run backwards from the scene where he suits up earlier on. The best point to see this is when he ultimately blinks: it's very unnatural.

Friso94

The Undertaking - S1-E21

Audio problem: When Oliver is fighting the guys in the hallway, he shoots the second to last guy. But when he starts to draw an instant beforehand, you can see that his right hand, with which he holds the arrow, is nowhere near the quiver when the sound of the drawn arrow begins.

The Odyssey - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: After Fires shoots Wilson, he shoots a few more times with the camera on him. Here you can see that the muzzle flash is pretty obviously CGI. Look for things like that fact that it's very small, there's no light shed on the car beside Fires or on himself and there is no smoke.

Friso94

The Odyssey - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Wilson jams the pistol in Oliver's face, Wilson is holding the gun in his right hand. When the shot changes, it flips - he is suddenly holding it in his left hand, and his previous un-scarred left eye now has some scrapes around it.

Friso94

Trust But Verify - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Oliver shoots Ted with an arrow, Ted falls down on the ground. The position of the arrow keeps changing from being perfectly in the center of the chest, to a few inches off-center, depending on the angle.

Show generally

Question: Is this show going to be a part of the Justice League universe DC is creating with the Man of Steel? I'm just wondering, because A) The Green Arrow has been a member of the Justice League in the past and B) they haven't done anything yet in the show to deny or confirm that it's going to be part of that.

Pilot - S1-E1

Question: What is the song the kicks in when Tommy says, "Have you noticed how hot your sister has gotten?", and then plays on when Tommy and Oliver are driving around in the SLR?

Friso94

Home Invasion - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When Oliver stabs the assassin with the poker, he pushes the thing all the way through, with the handle against the shoulder. In the next shot, there is a 3 inch piece of poker between the shoulder and the handle. (00:35:05)

Friso94

Dodger - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Oliver manages to wreck the Dodger's car, he skids his bike sideways and gets off. In the next shot, when the bike is in the background, he is no longer beside it, only to reappear in the next shot.
