Continuity mistake: A few minutes after Lee puts a bandage on Hugh's forehead, it disappears completely in one shot (as does the cut it was covering), before reappearing a moment later, but in a different position.

DavidRTurner

Our Town, Our Law - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Theresa and Ben walk down the road leaving town, and run into the woods from the Sheriff, Theresa's roller suitcase falls over on its 'back'. A minute later, when Ethan catches up to them, the suitcase is on its 'front'. (00:36:30 - 00:37:30)

DavidRTurner

The Red Door - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Big Jim communicates to the military commander at the dome, he writes on his notepad, and shows "Me and my son" to the commander; yet when he returns to his car and looks at it again, it's written quite differently. (00:24:05 - 00:24:45)

DavidRTurner

Lady in the Lake - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: The assassin is running across the square with the poisonous needle in his left hand in several shots. But moments later, when tackled to the ground, it is pressured from his closed right hand.

DavidRTurner

Runaways - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Fet is in the sewer looking for rats and encounters a group of infected. He is holding a handkerchief to his face with his left hand to mask the smell. He has his flashlight in his right hand, and pulls out an iron bar with his left. As the camera angle changes, his left hand is again covering his mouth with the handkerchief (no iron bar), then the angle changes again, and he's holding the iron bar again. (00:35:05)

DavidRTurner

Remake A.K.A. Cloudy... With a Chance of Improvement - S8-E3

Trivia: Ralph Macchio features as a prosecuting attorney. At one point, Gus speaks a quote from "My Cousin Vinny", and the other attorney calls it "a terrific film." Macchio objects, saying "it's OK... Decent at best." Macchio featured in that movie. (00:33:05)

DavidRTurner

The Trouble with Troubles - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: When Nathan answers his phone while checking the murder victim with Duke, he has it in his left hand. The camera angle changes and it's now in his right hand. (00:25:45)

DavidRTurner

Crush - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When the female cop tries to arrest Driscoll in the park, his Trouble kicks in and air pressure kills her. As it starts, we see blood flowing from her left ear, then it's gone, then it's there again, as the camera angle changes. (00:22:00)

DavidRTurner

Crush - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Dave and Vince arrive at the scene of the first Trouble, Dave is talking to Duke, and the camera changes from in front of Dave to just behind him. Dave wears glasses and in the front shot he has them on, but in the rear shot, they're missing. (00:09:10)

DavidRTurner

Survivors - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When the taxi stops to pick up the woman, it stops with its hood in front of the door of the building beside it. She gets in and finds the driver dead, and jumps out. When the police are checking it, it has moved a full car length forward. The driver put it in park when he stopped, so it didn't roll forward. (00:11:30)

DavidRTurner

Stay - S3-E2

Other mistake: Duke is checking old copies of the Haven Herald around the time of Lucy (27 years ago). A headline on the one he's reading is about Lucy's disappearance. A moment later, he's reading a story about a meteor shower that occurs every 27 years; but the text we can see states that it just happened, and refers to dates in 2010 (having just happened, not '27 years from now'). This paper is supposed to be a 1983 edition. Also there is fake Latin 'filler text' printed in some columns.

DavidRTurner

Audrey Parker's Day Off - S2-E6

Factual error: When Audrey turns on the car radio to listen to the baseball game score, the LCD display turns to the time.  When she turns it off, it shows the tuner. This is the opposite of how car radios function - the sound editor must have been dubbing in the sound, and missed this).

DavidRTurner

What If They Run? - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After running the roadblock and getting shot in the shoulder, we see Hopper's shirt with a bloody patch about 3" x 2." The camera angle changes and it is now several times larger, positioned differently and oddly-shaped (a bleeding wound would simply expand the stain on the shirt; it would not 'move'). (00:02:55)

DavidRTurner

What If They Run? - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the bad guys create a roadblock with their 2 cars as Hopper drives his girlfriend to her mother's house, the cars stop with one on one side of the yellow line, and the other stops with the steering wheel over the line. The camera angle changes, and now both cars are neatly, evenly positioned, with their engines sitting over the line. (00:02:05)

DavidRTurner

Pilot - S1-E1

Trivia: When Barry is checking the results of his tests in the police lab, he turns to the computer to view the screen. The camera changes to see the screen, and for just a moment (just a few frames) we see what was on the screen before his results - a couple of stolen car reports, one of which is that of "Joliet Jake Blues" (from the Blues Brothers movie). And yes, the car and licence are the same as in the movie. I don't know what the connection is; I assume someone on the crew loved that movie. (01:12:00)

DavidRTurner

The Lost Reindeer - S14-E11

Character mistake: When Russell is reading the bio for the suspect who had dressed as a reindeer at the party and was looking for her contact lens, the bottom of the page lists "Identification Databases Checked:" and lists several states and 5 cities under each one. Alabama and Colorado have the same 5 (Alabama) cities listed. Also, the form lists several pieces of information - Class, DOB, Height, Weight, Eyes, Eyes, Hair, Restrictions, Contact Lens Serial No and Criminal History and Occupation. (Yes, "Eyes" is there twice.) The first "Eyes" field lists a name (emergency contact?), which illustrates how badly the prop department prepared this form. Lastly, despite the suspect's DOB being 04.12.1987 (either April 12 or December 4), and this episode taking place in December 2013, Russell states that she is 23 (but should be 26). (00:15:20)

DavidRTurner

Character mistake: When Garrison is leaving the house to question Clay Shaw on Easter Sunday, his wife is complaining about his working on the Sunday, and at one point calls Garrison 'Clay'.

DavidRTurner

Extradition: British Columbia - S4-E1

Character mistake: When Shawn is checking Ed's book of valuables, the crown that Shawn thinks Despereaux will steal, has a listed value of "950,000 - 1,000,00,000 USD." I guess it's really, really(!) valuable, enough that a whole new numbering system was made up for it. (00:30:55)

DavidRTurner

Frame by Frame - S14-E5

Factual error: Throughout the episode, people refer to the previous murder as occurring 14 years ago. That puts it in 1999, yet we know it was in 2000, thanks to photos and other evidence.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: In Tech Noir, as the Terminator starts firing the Uzi at Reese, a guy in a dress shirt and tie gets shot as Reese uses him for cover. He reacts to getting hit, the camera angle changes, and he reacts again. (00:35:50)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Joey and Angie enter the rooftop of the building across from the hotel, he stops a vent fan, and bends a blade back so they can get through it. The blade is positioned at about 30° from horizontal, pointing up. Yet in consecutive shots, watching them go through it, it changes position to pointing about 20° down, then back again. (00:36:30)

DavidRTurner

Six Feet Under the Sea - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: As Shawn's dad is showing him how to drive the boat, he is alternately leaning against the railing with his arm outstretched, and with his arm at his side, depending on the camera angle. (00:20:25)

DavidRTurner

Six Feet Under the Sea - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Shawn and Gus are driving the boat at night, we see the coordinates on the GPS tracker - two seconds later (real time, as they are talking), the coordinates have changed; now they are about 37 miles from where they were, so they must have hit 65,000 mph for those 2 seconds. In case my math needs correcting, the first set is 34 06' 50.25" N x 120 17' 41.31" W and the second set is 33 57' 40.21" N x 119 35' 56.58" W. (00:21:55)

DavidRTurner

Gus Walks Into a Bank - S3-E8

Trivia: Alan Ruck, who plays the bank robber, is (arguably) best known for his role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where his character's name is Cameron. In this episode, Ruck plays a bank robber who takes hostages, including Gus. The SWAT commander that attends the bank robbery (a character who hasn't existed before) is named Cameron. Possibly a deliberate choice given Psych's frequent pop culture references. ADDITIONAL: Series 8, Episode 3 - Ruck co-stars as a news weatherman; when Shawn introduces himself, he says .".and this is Gus, my black Cameron" - a much more clear reference to the Ferris Bueller character.

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Frank's car is blown up as he returns from delivering Lai, he is blown off his feet by the blast, and is standing about 50 feet away from it. Yet the plastic table and chairs, just in front of the car, are blown straight up, not away from it. (00:28:15)

DavidRTurner

Trivia: The BMW used in the film was an E38 735i, according to the BMW Wiki page. In the DVD commentary, Statham tells us it was a custom-built, manual transmission (when the production cars are automatics), and therefore one-of-a-kind. (00:02:30)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When Snake and the others are running across the 69th Street bridge after the taxi is destroyed, Brain runs to his left, insisting that's the safe path. He gets blown up by a mine. We can see the bright lights of the FX spread out in front of him; the mine is exploding before he actually steps on it. (01:25:40)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Snake enters the Duke's railcar to find the President, he throws a knife at a guard's forehead. As the camera comes to the knife hitting him, we see a blood trail already on his face from that wound, before he could start bleeding. (00:59:30)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: Snake jumps off the surf and into the car with Eddie. They fight as the car drives down an alley. There is an old man in front of them at one point, who steps out of the way of the car. They continue driving perhaps a block and stop. They speak for a moment, then Snake continues driving, past the same old man, and past some of the same parts of the alley they just passed. (01:09:00 - 01:09:35)

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When Snake crashes the chopper in the final scene, it is going down nose-first, and just the nose hits the ground. The explosion area would be (approximately) 10 sq. feet and expanding outward from that spot. But the initial explosion is down the whole length of the chopper with the grass exploding into fireballs. (01:27:20)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When the President asks someone to connect him to the White House to talk to his warn his wife as Cuerva threatens the power outage, an extra hands him the phone, but does nothing to contact the White House (OK, someone off-screen could be doing it, but the President was talking directly to this extra). A mere 3 seconds later, he is asking the (White House) operator to connect to his wife. Just 1 second after that, she's on the line. (00:53:25)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Cuervo takes out Snake with the bolo on the racing cars, Snake falls to the ground; he is wearing his leather coat. When the camera shows him hitting the ground, the coat is completely off one arm, allowing it to be slipped off by the bad guy. (00:33:25)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Snake lands in LA in the sub, it shoots out of the water, lands on a concrete pier, and hits a wall at a very high speed. Its future technology must be why it doesn't crumple up like a tin can; but Snake exits the sub just fine, despite there being no apparent safety harness. As this is just a decade or so in the future (and not a century or more), it is highly unlikely that this society's technology has advanced to a state where the basic laws of physics can be broken. (00:23:10)

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When Snake shoots through the tunnel in the sub and splashes into the water, the big splash comes back towards the rear of the sub, not forward of it as it would in real life. (00:21:55)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Snake starts up the sub, the turbine is referred to as being at 75% power. The display shows "0.75" which is 75%, but there is also a "%" symbol above the numbers. Either the display is bizarrely constructed or the power output is stated incorrectly. (00:21:20)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: At the end of the movie, when the President puts the cassette tape into the player, the printed text is upside down on the player. The model is a Sanyo MT4200, which was an unusual unit; it had a TV on the side, and the dual cassettes on the top. But as we see his hand 'drop' the tape in, it must be on its side - there is no reason for it to be on its side, and no reason for the cameraman not to have turned it around so the text was right-side-up. (01:34:00)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the President shoots the Duke with the machine gun from the wall, the first stream of bullets rips up the Duke, as we see multiple exit holes through his torso. The President lets loose another stream, and yet another - but just after the 3rd stream, the camera changes to the Duke, alive and without the holes just ripped through him, only to be 'killed' by this 3rd stream (where we also see the blood pack the actor is wearing). (01:29:45)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the taxi crosses the bridge and gets split in two by the mine, the front half does a 180-degree turn and the rear half continues straight. The camera angle changes, and the front half is now going straight, and the rear half turns and slides to a sideways position. (01:24:50)

DavidRTurner

Question: When Snake and the others run away from the WTC, is the building an accurate representation of the real building(s)? I can find lots of images online of WTC 1& 2, and they appear to have the columns all the way to the ground, where in the movie, the ground level is about 20 feet high with no columns. (01:21:55)

DavidRTurner

Trivia: As the Duke confronts Snake and the others at the base of the WTC, he is standing on a mobile, steam-driven platform (not spoken about, so not explained). This is essentially what a Segway is, but 15 years before they were introduced. (01:21:30)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Snake first rescues the President from the Duke's railcar, the two of them walk beside the train. They walk the whole length of car #2205, then they walk it again. The 'new' car has some graffiti on it; either the filmmakers used both sides of the car, or added the graffiti to make it look different, but they forgot to change/erase the car's big yellow numbers. (01:00:10)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Snake, Brain and Maggie drive down Broadway, away from Brain's place where the Duke is, a number of people are attacking the car as it drives. Without anyone running down the street with the car, we see a group of people twice, possibly more. Easiest to notice are 3 specific guys in the same position beside each other at both locations. (00:56:15)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Snake is injected, and his timer is set to 23:00, Hauk tells him the glider is waiting. The next scene has Snake getting into the glider, but when he radios in, Hauk says there's 21 hours left. Snake was pretty upset that he didn't get a full 24 hours; knowing his life is on the line, why would he take 2 full hours to walk out the door and over to the glider that was waiting for him? (00:24:00 - 00:24:55)

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When Air Force One crashes into the office building, the security force monitors show the escape pod falling to the ground - inside the building. Normal physics would dictate that the pod would 'slide' across the floor of the building it crashed into, not smash through 20 floors towards the ground. We can assume the buildings are in disrepair, but it has only been 11 years since the island was turned into a prison. (00:12:30)

DavidRTurner

Character mistake: When the revolutionary fighter commandeers Air Force One (we only know this once she's in control), a Secret Service agent is trying to break down the cockpit door by banging it with the butt of his automatic rifle. The way he's hitting the door, he couldn't break through a cereal box - it's much too weak. Presumably, the actor is taking it easy on the door because it's a cheap prop door. (00:11:15)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: Just before the garbage truck mows down the policeman and continues through traffic, we see behind the cop a street full of stopped cars, and a building less than 100 yards away (the street starts at a T-intersection). There is no truck, and no way for it to have gotten onto the street at the speed it's going. (00:07:05)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: Three times through the movie, we see the command centre on the ship with people running around. Based on several people's movements, it seems that all these scenes were taken at one time, from different angles - too many of the same people moving the same way, carrying the same things.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: As Gerry enters the ship's command centre the first time, when he starts walking across the floor, we see a bearded man in the background, at the stairs against the wall, talking to someone. The camera angle changes, and he is now sorting through papers perhaps 60-70 feet from where he was just standing. (00:30:30)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: The girls are kicked off the USS Argus when the military thinks Gerry is dead. Thierry sends them off on a helicopter. As they board the helicopter, we see a bridge structure behind Thierry, who is looking down the length of the ship at them - and also behind them is 'the same' bridge structure. It has been shown, in several shots through the film, that the Argus has just one such structure. (01:25:20)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: As Gerry enters the aircraft carrier command centre, we see screens with "world projections" of remaining uninfected populations by continent. They are counting down (illustrating the quick spread of the disease). However, the countdown speed of all of them, is approximately 3% each second - which means humankind would have no more than 20 seconds at this rate. The countdown speed should realistically be about 100,000 times slower than that (about 3% each day), which would still be the fastest pandemic spread the world has ever seen. (00:30:15)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When the family's car is being hit by the ambulance, we see Gerry's head bouncing around by the impact in a close-up. Camera angle is from inside (approximately from the centre armrest). We see out his window, and there is nothing there. The camera angle changes to an exterior shot, and its clear that the position of the ambulance hitting the car should have made the ambulance visible from the interior camera. (00:08:05)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When the family's car is about to be hit by the ambulance as they try to escape downtown, Gerry is driving and his wife is up, leaning over the passenger seat talking to their daughter. The camera angle changes to a view from behind, and as the ambulance is about to hit, we can see there is nobody in the car and the ambulance driver is wearing a safety helmet. This is viewable in just a few frames. (00:08:00)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Gerry reunites with his family in the Nova Scotia Safe Zone, the boy gets into the family hug, with his sweatshirt hood down. The camera angle changes and it is up. (01:55:35)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Doug first arrives at the Tower, he goes down an elevator from the roof to the 65th floor, then has to cross over to different elevators. In one of these, he goes up - to 79 according to the display; but the floor buttons on the control, consist of just 16 buttons; the 7th or 8th button is lit as he gets off, so he has only gone up halfway to 79. (00:06:45)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When the doctor intercoms the colonel because he cannot get into the medical room for the pregnant woman having nightmares, the camera shows the bridge intercom, which is simply the back end of a desktop computer with a couple of knobs stuck on it.

DavidRTurner

From the Earth to Starbucks - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: As Shawn and Gus walk up the stairs to the courthouse, there are only two men standing beside the steps, at the fence. The camera angle changes and there are three completely different people standing there. (00:01:15)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the Seeker's car hits the back of the stopped humans' truck under the bridge, the impact forces the human passenger to drop his gun; based on the angle, we expect it is tossed backwards about 10-20 feet - and lands beside the truck's right side. When the female Seeker arrives and approaches the truck, she picks up the gun from about 50 feet behind (and left of) the truck. The position of the crashed Seeker's car would have blocked the gun from going any further. Also; we see her pick up the gun from a very sharp sun/shade borderline - but in the wide shots, we can't even tell where the shade ends and the sun begins - no borderline at all. Also the closeup shows the gun on the right of the double-yellow line, but the wide shot shows it between the 2 yellow lines as she picks it up. (01:02:45)

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: When Melanie tries to force her car off the road on the way to Fort Worth, the car flips and rolls; the 'cannon' that shoots out the bottom of a car to make it flip is visible. (00:27:20)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Rachel and Dormer are in his room the night before he is going to leave, she takes a sofa cushion down from the dresser; the camera angle changes and she has two cushions.

DavidRTurner

Protect and Survive - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gersham runs from the police in the first scene, his vehicle crashes on a rooftop and hits a wall, bouncing off it, turning and stopping parallel to it. He exits the vehicle, at the point where he crashed, and the vehicle is now positioned differently (turned 90 degrees, pointing straight to the wall). (00:04:20)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When the doctor intercoms the colonel because he cannot get into the medical room for the pregnant woman having nightmares, the camera shows the intercom, which is simply the back end of a desktop computer with a couple of knobs stuck on it. (00:24:50)

DavidRTurner

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Dave is leaning over the edge of the air boat with Rose behind him, he pulls a chunk of metal out of the water and places it on the edge of the boat on his left side. When he gets up from his lying position moments later, the metal is gone. Moments later again, with an overhead shot of the boat, we see what appears to be that piece of metal positioned at what would have been his right side, not his left. This is also where we see him step over the seat (twice!) in subsequent camera angles. (00:30:00)

DavidRTurner

Season 1 generally

Visible crew/equipment: At the funeral of Tsi and Keene, when Jeremy is talking to Jack and the TV camera, we see the lighting rig reflected in Angela's sunglasses. There is also someone standing in front of the rig. (02:44:05)

DavidRTurner

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: When Keene is hanging from the pipe in the shaft, he falls from it, and in the first second we see him falling naturally, in a 'standing' position. The camera angle changes, and he is now falling in a 'lying down' position. As well, when he hits the bottom (the nuclear cooling water), he doesn't splash further than a foot or so into the water. Falling from about 100 feet, he'd certainly splash down deeper than that. (02:33:40)

DavidRTurner

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: When Jack is alone in the desert and the girl's Jeep stops nearby, he is positioned towards the right-front corner of it. But when he approaches it, he walks into the scene from the left-front corner of it. There's no reason he'd walk way around the area - he is suffering from the heat and would walk as little as possible, in a straight line to it. (02:02:35)

DavidRTurner

Season 1 generally

Factual error: When Jack escapes from the helicopter explosion, the chopper is destroyed. When Jack walks back, the two pilots' bodies are sitting in their seats, apparently unscathed. The whole rest of the chopper is missing - doors, windshield, dashboard... Yet they weren't blown to bits? (01:42:40)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The cop (Marty) enters the diner and shoots three patrons before killing himself. Moments later, the security tape that the Army watches, has the timing and positions of the characters a little different. Clearly, they had to re-shoot the scene from the different angle. (01:11:20)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Visible crew/equipment: When Jeremy calls Jack, Jeremy is in an office alone. At one point there is a shadow in the background of a person moving around. Since nobody else is in the scene, it must be a crew member. (01:19:20)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Factual error: When Tsi recalls the incident in China with the disease, the camera shows an Army officer banging on the door of the hospital; we can see that the glass is wire-reinforced safety glass. The officer (actually, it is an unexplained other actor) then uses the butt of his pistol to break the glass. In real life, this kind of glass is too strong for this to be possible. And even if a super-strong person could break it, it would fall clumped up, as safety glass is designed to do. But here, it shatters into several large shards. (01:08:00)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Factual error: When the doctors are testing the contagiousness of Andromeda on the rats and monkey, in a highly secure, bio-sealed environment, the robotic arm that does the work simply pushes the containers together - no seals, no suction or vacuum. There would be absolutely no chance whatsoever of a real bio-research lab doing this so casually.

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Tobler (the male survivor) approaches the Humvee initially, the driver starts noticing his symptoms just as Tobler stops yelling. Later in the film, in flashback, in the same scene, the driver starts reacting a second or two earlier.

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When the team is checking out the grocery store in Piedmont, they exit the building and a Humvee is in the middle of the street where there was no vehicle before. They had driven that Humvee but had parked it elsewhere.

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Other mistake: When the team is in the grocery store, they rewind the security videotape (they play it backwards). They stop it at the last activity, when a man comes in and chainsaws his own head off. The body (and head) have gone blue/purple, and since everyone else died the previous night, we can assume that he cut his head off around 12 hours ago. At high speed reverse play, the time they spent rewinding would be only around 10 or 15 minutes of recorded time. (00:32:50)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The Army Humvee arrives in Piedmont and finds the townsfolk all dead. The timecode on the truck's video recording is 22:13 hours. When the team gathers to learn of the situation, they are shown this video. The General then presents a video he says is 2 hrs later, the view from the drone with infrared film. The time code on this, is 3:15. Both were shot in the same place, and both would be local time, so the time is wrong. More to the point, the original drone footage did not have any timecode on it. (00:18:40)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: It is established in the film that the Graboids have 3 'tongues' - but when the women are trapped in the wagon, they shoot two of the tongues of the Graboid hunting them, then two more tongues come out of it. (01:28:35)

DavidRTurner

Factual error: In the muling station, Juan is at the telegraph when a Graboid comes up from underneath him. As he is flung up into the air, he 'hangs' there for just enough time to disprove the law of gravity. Also when the Graboid breaks through the floor, it is just behind Juan, which would have sent him forward (over the telegraph) - yet he is thrown backward. (00:57:30)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the Dirt Dragons show up at the muling station, after the trio shoots at them, Kelly is emptying his gun of the used cartridges, but then they turn to shoot it behind them - Kelly doesn't reload, but is shooting. There's only about 2 seconds for Kelly to open his jacket, pull out more bullets, load the gun and fire - not enough time. (00:51:55)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: As the trio are bedding down for the night in the muling station, we see Juan walk behind Hiram who is standing still; the camera angle changes, and we see Hiram walking in front of Juan, who is now the one standing still. (00:50:05)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Hiram, Juan and Kelly first see Old Fred's wagon in the distance, the white tarp on it is draped across it and down one side. When they arrive at it, it's draped differently. They also arrive at it from the side, when they were approaching from straight in front on it. (00:46:15)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When Hiram, Juan and the boys are camping out on their way to the mine, one of the cowboys is hit by a couple of Dirt Dragons (one from either side) as he runs to the others. His body is tossed one way, then the other (as they hit him), but then sort of 'jerks up' against gravity, indicating he is being lifted by a wire. (00:24:55)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: We see Hiram loading the shot in the punt gun - then the camera shows each character loading their gun, and then the punt gun is being loaded again. (01:16:50)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: In the final scene, when Burt leaves Melvin on the rock with El Blanco nearby, Burt says goodbye to Melvin and begins driving away. His door is wide open as the car begins moving - the camera angle changes and it's now closed.

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: Both times Melvin shows up and talks with Burt, we see the camera equipment reflected in his SUV's side.

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When Miguel gets knocked over the hillside by the ass-blaster, the camera shows how/where he falls - the speed of his fall is no more than 1/3 of how a body would really fall. Also, he falls right next to the cliff; bit when the gang goes down, he is right behind the truck, which we know is about 50-60 feet away from the cliff.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the gang first meets an ass-blaster, it flies into the sky, circles back and flies down towards them, quickly. The camera angle changes to its point of view, and for several seconds the view does not change - as if he'd just stopped in mid-air.

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Jack is using the chainsaw to dig Burt out of the Graboid, we do not see where he is cutting, but we do see sparks fly just before he stops and puts the saw down. The chainsaw angle does not match the sparks' direction.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the government guys come into the store in the evening they arrive, the wall clock shows 8:20, but the head guy's watch shows 6:28.

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: When the government guys first show up, we can see the lighting rig reflected in their sunglasses.

DavidRTurner

...And Spaghetti Sauce - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Laura comes to the pub and has sex with one of the guys, she spots the (hidden) video camera at the bar. One moment, it is entirely covered with a cloth. The camera angle changes and it is partly uncovered.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Earl and Kate are talking (about her Playboy photo) while stuck on the roof, she is wearing her ring on her left hand (it was on her right earlier in the film). In the film's timeline, it is minutes later that the ring disappears.

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When Earl swings on the light fixture and the cable detaches from the ceiling due to his weight, he falls 'a little' before hitting the wall. He would have dropped like a stone immediately, and likely would not have reached the wall. (01:28:35)

DavidRTurner

Plot hole: When Earl, Grady, Burt and Kate are running from the truck that Burt shot, they go towards the cantina, which has a couple of smaller blue and white structures beside it. In a wide shot as they're running, we see the 1st shed at the side of the frame. A moment later Earl sees several walking Graboids in front of the 2nd shed. The beasts were in plain sight, yet nobody noticed until they were almost on top of them. (01:14:50)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the walking Graboid takes Julio at the office, Kate tries to hide and knocks over a plastic container, which spills empty beer cans on the floor. Moments later, without having been touched, its position is a little different. (00:59:50)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Earl and Grady arrive at the radio tower and see that it's been all torn up, Grady sits down - we can see he has an ammo sling against his chest, as it is reflecting moonlight. The camera angle changes and his canteen is now in front of the sling. (00:54:15)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the Graboid scares Earl and Grady into backing up the truck over the ridge and getting it stuck, the hill they stop on is empty - that is, no rocks. But later, there's a big rock right next to its right side that Grady jumps onto. Also; when the truck first crashes, the angle makes the windshield roughly level with the ground. But subsequent scenes show the truck at a different angle. (00:42:20 - 00:47:35)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Kate moves the tray of core samples from the centre table, she puts it down on top of one other tray. When the camera pulls away, and for the rest of the scene, there are two trays under it. (00:16:15)

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: When Ortega introduces Kate to Earl and Grady, she turns from looking at Ortega to the others, and we can see the lighting rig reflected on her sunglasses.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Val's bomb gets spat back to the rock and scatters the gang, three of them wind up far away from the rock - too far to have made it in the time of the scene.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Val is getting the fuse lit on his bomb to throw to the last Graboid, we see his hands separated, one holding the bomb and one holding the rope. The camera angle changes to a close up of his hands, where they are now both holding both the bomb and rope. (01:24:50)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Spencer is undergoing the PET scan to compare himself to his prior scan, he holds the mirror one way; the camera angle changes and it is now turned sideways.

DavidRTurner

Plot hole: When Vic steals the food from the group in the desert, we see he's been standing about 100 yards from them, all the while they've been digging. This is filmed on the Bonneville Salt Flats, with completely flat ground for miles around. Did the group just not notice a guy (and a dog) standing that close to them? Did they not think of protecting their site with a guard (there are 2 kids and a cripple there, but even they don't notice Vic until he's just ten yards away, running towards them)? As well, the crime 'boss' character allows Vic to get away and does not chase him - he even laughs that someone has the guts to try it. Food is very precious in this world, and nobody would likely allow this theft, much less a criminal boss. (00:15:45)

DavidRTurner

Revealing mistake: When Han is firing the Gatling gun at Frank and Marvin, he is on one side of the street, firing across the street and through the parked cars. Frank and Marvin are lying on the ground on the sidewalk, but some of the bullets' exit holes (after shooting through the vehicles) fold inwards, when they should have bent the metal outwards. (00:49:30)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When Katya is told that Frank was spotted in Red Square, she tells the soldier (in the English subtitles) to call out the Army - but she says, in Russian, something about Spetznaz - which Is Special Forces, not Army.

DavidRTurner

...And Four Stolen Hooves - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When the jockey falls from the horse, there is a 2nd quick shot of the same scene, to extend it a few seconds. In the first part, the horse is running free; in the 2nd, we can see the bridle that's leading the horse forward. (00:36:20)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Nelson kicks the soccer ball at John, the ball moves from a certain sideways angle towards him. As the camera angle changes, the ball hits John from a different angle.

DavidRTurner

Audio problem: When Jeremiah talks to Portia when she returns to the Quest school, with the camera showing the side of his face, he is not speaking the words we hear. (00:42:00)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: At the end of the film, as Will and Sylvia run from the time mission after giving away the million years, they run out of downtown and towards the border of the Zone. Raymond drives to that border, gets out of his car and runs towards them. The area is a desolate, empty road, with no buildings or other obstructions to the view - one can see miles across the landscape - yet Will and Sylvia don't see Raymond running towards them until they are within 50 feet of each other. (01:33:55)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Will and Sylvia's car hits the stingers (spike strips) that blow out the tires, they are driving on the 'right' side of the road. Off the edge of the right side is a grassy area. Will veers to the right trying to stay in control, then the camera angle changes, and we see he is on the other side of the road veering left, where the concrete river is. The camera angle changes, and they are back on the right side, just before another angle change where they fly over the edge... Of the left side. Perhaps there was originally a wide shot showing the car veering way across the road and back; but in the final edit, what we see is a big continuity mistake. (00:46:15)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the Minutemen's trap crashes Will's car, they check Will's time and say "he's got minutes. He'll wake up dead." This tells us he has very little left. When he escaped the party the night before (so this is perhaps 10-12 hours later), he had just 2 hours on his clock. Additionally, Sylvia wakes with just 32 minutes, and Will is still able to share some time with her. Yet he gives her only about 4 minutes.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Will escapes the party with Sylvia as hostage, he barely avoids an accident with an armoured car, into which the Timekeeper Raymond crashes. As Will leaves the scene, he is driving on the left side of the road. The camera shifts to Raymond for a moment, then back to a rear view of Will's car, now driving on the right. The camera angle changes again, and he is once again driving on the left. The right is the 'correct' side of the road, evidenced by all the traffic around them.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Will grabs Syvia on the dance floor and rushes her outside, Weiss takes a step towards them, but as the camera angle changes, he is back in place beside his wife (whose champagne glass is now in a different position also).

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Will and Sylvia are dancing at the party, the camera is in the centre of the room, panning left as it follows them. At one point, a guitar player comes into view. The camera angle changes very slightly, and he is no longer there.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Will leaves Dayton for the first time, the car leaves Zone 12. Later it goes through Zone 8, and eventually arrives at Zone 4 (New Greenwich). But when the authorities are first checking the security footage of Will on the bridge, they have a Time Zone map on the wall, and Zone 12 and 4 are next to each other, with Zone 8 in a different direction.

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: When Vic and the girl are running from Michael, a crew member doesn't quite get out of the way of the camera. (01:18:25)

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In episode 3 or 4, one of the characters is knocked out and lying on the floor in the Russian sub. He is on the 'left' side of the shot most times he is shown, but occasionally he's on the right.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Crichton talks to Harvey (Scorpius in his head) about the Wormhole Weapon engineering project, one of the women in the scene leans on the hood of the car, with her glasses in her hand, chewing on the left arm of the glasses (the right arm is folded). The camera angle changes, and the arms are switched. The camera angle changes back, and the arms are switched back. (01:43:50)

DavidRTurner

Trivia: When Crichton talks to "Harvey" (Scorpius in his head) for the first time in the movie, Scorpius is dressed like Einstein. There is a blackboard with equations on it. One of them is "e = MC hammer". (00:21:30)

DavidRTurner

Audio problem: On the oil rig at the start of the movie, the 2 actors monitoring the deep sea submarine's progress are subjected to a major explosion noise - yet they don't even notice it. Only when the 2nd explosion comes and rocks the whole rig do they react.

DavidRTurner

Plot hole: The robot pilots have no screens/monitors in the robots to show them what's outside - only some obviously unimportant text or graphics. How could they fight the monsters without being able to see what's in front of them (or anywhere else, for that matter)?

DavidRTurner

Plot hole: When the robot pilots first connect after the first attack, Red tells the story of his battle. They don't seem to even notice the dozen or so civilian bodies they have to actually physically step over - and the bodies are just lying there along the sidewalk & parking lot; no signs of any monster attack, so how did they die?

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: Admiral Hadley's "war room" has a digital clock which the few times we see it is always set at 3:02.

DavidRTurner

Factual error: At the start of the movie, the oil rig discovers the first monster. The characters reference the seabed there being at 800 fathoms - which is pretty deep; they'd have to be hundreds of miles or so offshore for the ocean to be that deep. However, the oil rig is just a few miles off a coastline, as the background view shows.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: As the movie ends, the heroes walk from the trashed red robot towards the ambulance & trucks, and the woman sitting in the ambulance has a blanket over her shoulders, then there's no blanket, then it's on her knees, then her shoulders, then it's gone...

DavidRTurner

Factual error: Admiral Hadley often barks orders ordering Army forces to act, not just Navy forces. He wouldn't have the authority.

DavidRTurner

The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Near the end, as Parker drinks his milkshake, its contents rise & fall (not counting his drinking some). Also, he moves the glass about enough to illustrate that it's fake - it would have spilled, the way he handles it.

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The producers have not taken enough generic shots of the places the gang hangs out at; the Royal Diner, & the Founding Fathers. If paying attention (or, watching multiple episodes in a row), one will notice the same people wandering down the street an awful lot! As well, outside the Royal Diner, there's a weird-shaped street corner, that appears to force all traffic in front of the Diner. This would be due to the size of backlot being limited, and certainly doesn't look right.

DavidRTurner

The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4

Factual error: Near the end, the gang is using Luminol to check for blood on neighbourhood signs. Luminol won't work in broad daylight, they should have used a blue light filtering lens to enhance its visibility.

DavidRTurner

The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4

Visible crew/equipment: We can see crew reflected in Hodgins' car door as he arrives at the crime scene. (00:20:20)

DavidRTurner

The Plain in the Prodigy - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Near the start, Cam is carrying sunglasses in her hand; suddenly they are on her face. (00:03:20)

DavidRTurner

Trivia: Throughout the show, almost all documents, including things that most people would just write on a Post-It note, are on the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal lab letterhead. That is very unusual behaviour for documents that are not official, legally-required. Day-to-day paperwork would be on regular, standard white blank pages. The cost of their fancy, logo letterhead being used all the time would be prohibitive in any other workplace.

DavidRTurner

The End in the Beginning - S4-E26

Factual error: Near the end, as Bones is typing her book, she hits the key to erase it - and all the text disappears from the screen (later, she says it deleted the whole book). No software allows a single keystroke to erase all current content (if all text had been selected first, then yes, a DEL keystroke would have done it - but nothing was selected) - that would be a feature too risky to allow in any commercial software package.

DavidRTurner

The Beaver in the Otter - S4-E24

Character mistake: About half way through the episode, there is a computer screen with "Chemsitry" on it - a spelling error that should not have made it past editing. (00:24:10)

DavidRTurner

The Science in the Physicist - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Bones finds a spot of damage on the chair (front side, about 4" down from the top edge). Yet later, the chair is without any damage.

DavidRTurner

The Crank in the Shaft - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Bones walks onto the lab platform - first, there's no beep from the card reader, and second, she comes up on the wrong side of the steps, where there is no card reader anyway. The mistake is that the production team seems to have completely forgotten about the requirement for card access to that platform. They've had card access required since Season 1; anytime someone doesn't swipe their card, alarms go off. (00:26:00)

DavidRTurner

The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Bones tests some liquid to determine if blood is present. She uses about 2" in the test tube. The result shows a pink hue, not red. The camera angle changes, and now there's only about 1" in the tube, and it is red, not pink. (00:31:10)

DavidRTurner

The Pain in the Heart - S3-E15

Character mistake: Zach, from his hospital bed, says he used 3 grams of the monomer to make the explosion. 3 grams of a powder would be a very small amount; less than a teaspoonful. But when he actually did use it, he took a loose amount in a large tablespoon. Zach would have carefully measured it in order to be precise; but he did not. So this is a factual error in what he says; it is also a character mistake in that Zach is the personification of technical accuracy, and would never take a casual spoonful - especially of an explosive.

DavidRTurner

The Finger in the Nest - S4-E4

Visible crew/equipment: After Hodgins examines the victim's car at the FBI, the next scene has Booth's truck driving down a country road, passing the camera in a close-up. As it passes the camera, reflected in the door is the cameraman's torso & arm. (00:14:30)

DavidRTurner

Man in the Outhouse - S4-E3

Other mistake: Early in the episode, when the body from the outhouse is in the lab, the gang are all wearing bio-hazard suits. Sweets' suit has an opening along the rear-left section of the facemask - perhaps 3" long, and a half-inch high - making the point of the suit completely useless. (00:05:10)

DavidRTurner

All the Time in the World - S4-E19

Other mistake: Charlotte enters the Duchess' bedroom, walks past Pete & Myka, with her hand behind her back, hiding something. She stands in front of them, trained security people; neither of them notice the gun in her hand (which is visible to the camera, so it is not hidden via artifact), before she shoots her husband.

DavidRTurner

The Knight on the Grid - S3-E8

Other mistake: The Gorgomon's bank vault discovered earlier in this season, is cluttered with 'stuff'. But in this episode, Zach discovers that multiple mirrors in the area were placed with care (and not randomly) to allow an video/audio device to see 'all parts of the vault'. First-I doubt any camera would be good enough to see much of anything except the one mirror it was looking at, much less multiple mirrored views (Zach used a laser to show the mirror positions). Second-the Jeffersonian staff are examining all the 'stuff' - they'd have to move some things to use equipment, etc. to check them out. It can be assumed they would have put things back in their original place/position, but it would have been impossible to re-place everything in so precisely the same position that the view, via multiple mirrors, would be the same.

DavidRTurner

The Knight on the Grid - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bones is dragged from the taxi after the explosion, she finds a tooth lodged in her arm (from bomb shrapnel). But she was pulled down for safety by Booth just before it went off, and was not exposed to the shrapnel - she was protected by the car door, and nothing was in a direct line to her. Added to that is the fact that her LEFT arm was hit - the arm that would have been on the 'inside/centre' of the front seat (the bomb went off on the right side of the car), and on which she was most likely lying - completely protecting that part of her body. (00:25:40)

DavidRTurner

The Knight on the Grid - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Booth & Bones' taxi gets blown up & flips, the car lands upright, with nothing on the roof except the (now broken) taxi light. Yet when Booth squirms out the driver's side window, there are a few large chunks of asphalt sitting on the roof. (00:25:20)

DavidRTurner

Soccer Mom in the Mini-Van - S3-E2

Other mistake: When Hodgins runs up to the platform near the end, to discuss the debris of the watch, the security card reader goes off (as if someone were swiping their card). But there's nobody near it, and we see Hodgins step up the centre of the stairs, nowhere near the machine. About 30 seconds later, Angela comes up as well, but we hear the reader beep, and within a second or so, she's already well up on the platform, much further than possible based on her casual walking speed coming into the scene. (00:37:00)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Ellie & Fiona are breaking into the garage to steal the gas tanker truck, Fiona's hands are by her side. The camera angle changes, and her right hand is up, holding her rifle strap.

DavidRTurner

Factual error: The Secret Service has more than 3,000 Special Agents across multiple government organizations. Other than those who work the White House and Presidential Detail, it is highly unlikely that others would have any White House access, much less current security codes, as Mike does. Agents would not have passwords to the President's laptop - but Mike is able to log in and delete all the classified data on it.

DavidRTurner

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The person responsible for background shots while anyone is in a car driving, is grossly negligent in their continuity. Very rarely do Bones & Booth drive down a street without the background changing rapidly from urban to rural streets, and back. In a Season 1 episode, they're driving through a flat desert, with nothing in the background except scrub - and then suddenly, a mountain appears in the middle of the shot.

DavidRTurner

The Man with the Bone - S1-E18

Visible crew/equipment: W|hen Booth talks to to a fisherman on the docks, we can see the camera rig rolling behind him, by the rig's shadow against the pile of equipment on the dock. (00:17:25)

DavidRTurner

The Man in the Wall - S1-E7

Factual error: When Angela is running her computer model of the victims' chase behind the wall in the club, she says it "got tight in there - 15 centimetres." 15cm is 6 inches. It isn't possible that a grown adult could pass through a path that narrow - it would have to be at least twice that, just to breathe in & out. (00:24:50)

DavidRTurner

A Boy In A Bush - S1-E6

Factual error: When the gang is reviewing mall security footage to find the kids, Angela says her maximum resolution is 640x480 pixels 'per square inch'. Digital resolution is not defined per inch - it's defined by the entire image. Secondly; moments later, she refers to having another angle of the scene - but the camera shows the very same shot as was just seen. (00:14:40)

DavidRTurner

The Man in the Bear - S1-E5

Factual error: When Bones is doing the autopsy on the cannibal victims, she dictates her findings into a tape recorder. She refers to a 'low calibre' gun, rather than the correct 'small calibre' reference. Someone who deals with victims frequently, and who is so specific & detailed, would be well aware of the proper references for such things. (00:32:00)

DavidRTurner

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Leo's son throws his watch against the wall, it breaks into several pieces, which bounce off a surface just below the camera frame (it's an odd look, but could be a table or the floor, as we don't see where on the wall the watch impacted) - then they fly off to the right. But in the next shot, most of the watch's pieces are falling to the floor, directly down, and in a group (the prop man simply held out his hand and dropped them into frame). (00:37:40)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the kid & babysitter go down to the basement, she enters the stairs first. The shot changes, and now the boy is in front of her. (00:46:00)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Kwon is first shot, he's hit in the left shoulder, near the clavicle. When Bobo's daughter is cleaning his wound, it's not clear exactly where the wound is, but later, the bandage is over his left pectoral, several inches lower than where the bullet hit him.

DavidRTurner

Common Ground - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When the Kromagg sub-commander captures Quinn in the kitchen area, Quinn is leaning back, away from the knife. The sub-commander is a good 8-12 inches shorter than Quinn. The camera angle changes, and now the sub-commander is about 6 inches taller than Quinn.

DavidRTurner

Prophets And Loss - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When the Sliders see their first bunch of Welcomers get zapped, there is a short blonde woman in that group. We know later in the episode that these people are being burned to ashes; so she is now dead. In the final scene of the episode, that woman is in the audience.

DavidRTurner

You Better Watch Out - S10-E10

Continuity mistake: When Tony's dad arrives at the NCIS office for Christmas, he is met at the elevator by Ziva. He is holding a Christmas present (which looks like a bouquet of flowers) with the 'red' end up. As the camera angle changes, he is now holding it 'red' side down. (00:28:25)

DavidRTurner

Playing with Fire - S9-E22

Continuity mistake: When Tony & Ziva meet their contact in Naples, we see a local cop walking down the background behind them, and passing a walkway to the boat. Seconds later, as the camera changes view, we see that cop about 30 feet back, going the same way.

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: When the bad guys are taking the cash from the vault, they finish with just 3 duffel bags. Yet there are blocks of cash along all the walls, roughly 25 times as big as what they're taking. With the duffel bags supposedly containing $100 million, there would be tens of billions of dollars for the taking. Their escape route is up the elevator to the roof, and into a helicopter. What bad guys wouldn't take all they could carry?

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Wesley arrives at Redvale, he goes down into the vault area. When he turns the corner (just a few feet down from the lobby), he sees the bodies of the slain guards on the floor. The vault area is not cordoned off, not closed to the public, and wide open to view by anyone stepping just a few steps down the stairs. Yet there is nobody anywhere to be seen - despite this being the middle of a workday, and the lobby being busy with people just a few minutes before.

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: Like many movies, the security guard at the front desk of Redvale appears to have intimate knowledge of the CEO's personal calendar, and can verify their appointments - such as the bad guys when they show up. Not impossible, but very very unlikely.

DavidRTurner

Factual error: When the bad guys collect the $100 million in cash from the vault, it's been laid out in just 2 suitcases. According to US government specifications, that much cash (it is mentioned in the movie that it is in $100 bills) would be a single pile nearly 50 feet high (about 10 times what is shown) and 1,000kg - a full ton of weight.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Marcus steals the ambulance and drives to the Redvale HQ, he drives past the same corner three times.

DavidRTurner

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Irina meets XIII on the river dock, she leaves her car, closes the driver side door and walks to XIII. Moments later, when XIII is shot, she runs back to her car, where the door is wide open.

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When Hannibal first kills the butcher near the lake, he has crippled him with sword slashes, then walks about 7 paces away from the man (say, 15 feet); he then turns and without stepping closer, slices his head off. (00:40:20)

DavidRTurner

Leap of Faith - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: The pill bottle the agents recovered from the house has the Doctor's name "Fleming" to search for. But when McGee searches the NCIS system, he spells the name "Flemming" and gets his results. As well, the scrip sheets for Dr. Flemming archived on the computer, contain several identification numbers - DEA (AJ0000000000), Batch (00000001) & License (C00000.) - not real numbers - so the prop master didn't even try to fake any of them. (00:15:20)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: When the trio are about to enter the maintenance tunnel under the cargo hold, there is nothing in the tunnel. Morgan tosses a single bag in to start crawling through it, but she crawls over another bag already in the tunnel. (00:57:30)

DavidRTurner

Continuity mistake: As Jimmy & Oz drive from Oz's house to the city, the background behind Oz's side of the car changes from a new suburb in a wooded area (with a degree of unfinished construction) to a large, long-completed residential valley, and back again. (00:11:30)

DavidRTurner

Brooklyn Til I Die - S8-E12

Other mistake: Danny & Hawkes see a customer list on a shopkeeper's computer. Computer issue: Not only can she print the list and bypass a print option popup window with a single keystroke (implausible), but there are no icons/links on the page for software to do anything with that list. As well, the window scrollbar shows that there are nearly two pages of content on that screen, yet it appears to be a single complete page for the camera. Technical issue: The list contains 27 customer names - but one is repeated (Ryan Jackson). Later in the episode, they cross-reference that customer list (then printed on an opaque board in Mac's office, with that same duplicated name), against a company's employee list on Lindsey's pad computer. She was "able to notice one last name in common," yet there are three last names on the employee list also on the customer list, and one of those last names has two people listed - so that's four people who could have connections, yet only one was checked.

DavidRTurner

Visible crew/equipment: As Max opens the bathroom door on the plane, a reflection of the crew is visible in the door. (00:50:10)

DavidRTurner

Other mistake: Prochnow drives to the boatyard in the opening scene - the drunken crew at the side of the road initiates him by pissing on the car as it passes. His passenger had just rolled down his window, when he saw the crew, but there is no evidence that he rolled it up before passing the crew. (00:04:55)

DavidRTurner

Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Wade enters the recording studio to see Rembrandt, we can see him reflected in the window removing his headphones and handing them to an assistant. The camera angle changes and he removes the headphones (again) & puts them down on a stool.

DavidRTurner

Family - S5-E2

Revealing mistake: Part 1 - As Tony eats his donut, and spills the jelly on his shirt, it's clear that (the actor) is moving his body to make that 'accident' happen as scripted. As the jelly begins to leak out, he doesn't move; because it doesn't fall as expected, he jerks suddenly, to make the jelly fall on his shirt. He stops moving, 'shocked' at this, holding the donut with both hands. Part 2 - The camera angle changes to 'behind' him, and he is only holding the donut with one hand. Part 3 - He then grabs at a napkin (just out of frame) to clean it off; the camera cuts to Ziva briefly, then back to Tony, who does not have any napkin. (00:24:55)

Show generally

Other mistake: It would appear that (as late as early-Season 5), almost all screen shots of computer forensics include the same hard drive properties screen - it seems to be the same hard drive each time - 111GB, with 93GB used and a 129kb private container on it. I have not noticed whether they are all named drive G:, but several have been. The only thing that changes is the 'header' section, which is manipulated each episode to show something specific (but not real) for the TV audience to read.

Trojan Horse - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: When Tony tells Ziva he won't help her track down the remaining 'Smiths', a woman in the background is walking down the stairs; as Tony stands up, she takes two steps down from the lower landing. When the camera shot changes on Tony, she's back on the landing. (00:25:15)

Family - S5-E2

Visible crew/equipment: As Gibbs, Ziva and Tony enter the Nelson home with guns drawn; just after Ziva enters, a man can be seen reflected in the door's window (Gibbs and Tony are in frame, and there is no other character there). Tony enters, then Gibbs - and we see the cameraman reflected also. (00:19:45)

Family - S5-E2

Other mistake: When McGee tells Gibbs that Nelson erased his entire hard drive, the camera shows the diagnostic he is running - "Primary Drive Erased: 100%." Yet the details below show 93GB used of 111GB total, and the drive letter is G: (not C: as it would most likely be.) It could be argued that his C: drive is simply an OS drive, and G: is his data drive, but still, 93GB used is not 'erased'. (00:22:05)

In the Dark - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When Tony is telling Gibbs & Ducky that Abby got a hit on the dead sailor's fingerprints, Gibbs takes the file from Tony; the camera shows the file, which appears to be a legitimate profile sheet, but in the comments section, is the script that Tony just read aloud. (00:07:36)

Head Case - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: Just near the end, as Ducky faces the other M.E. in Autopsy with his guilt, the camera shows a person reflected in the silver wall (who would be standing beside Ducky). It's not Ducky, as the M.E. is looking at and talking to Ducky with a different angle. The person appears to be dressed in medical scrubs, but the M.E. and Ducky are the only two in the room. (00:40:45)

Family Secret - S3-E16

Visible crew/equipment: After Ducky tells Gibbs he has little chance of ID'ing the burnt body, as Gibbs leaves Autopsy, two crewmen and a camera are visible reflected in the metallic door frame. (00:35:20)

Season 1 generally

Visible crew/equipment: In one of the first episodes (2nd or 3rd) of Season 1, in an interrogation room scene, the camera pans around the table, and a crew member is visible in the far wall mirror, standing beside the camera in front of Gibbs.

Continuity mistake: When Paxton & Kana escape the factory by stealing a car, he checks his rear-view mirror to see the car pursuing him - the road has a dividing dashed white line on it. When the angle changes to see them driving away from the camera, there is no line on the road. Approx. time code 1:20:00.

Nothing for Something - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: In the coffee shop, Don & Mac are having breakfast; Raymond arrives, looks down at Mac's belt & sees his gun & badge beside each other on his right hip. A minute later, after Raymond leaves, Mac exits the coffee shop looking for Raymond; his badge has jumped to the opposite side of his belt. (00:09:30)
