Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Vipers come to Galactica's rescue, an interior shot shows a pilot hitting the 'Turbo' button. The next exterior shot shows two Vipers pulling upward as we hear the familiar sound of the Turbos- but no white exhaust is emitted by these two Vipers as normally seen when Turbo is used. Seconds later in the same shot, the sound is heard again as two more Vipers turn right, but they do display the white exhaust effect. (02:07:40)

Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Galactica goes to battle stations, Starbuck's card game is broken up. He rises out of his chair in a close-up to try to keep the other players from taking back their money and leaving. In the next wide shot, he's still seated and rises again. (00:15:25)

Continuity mistake: When John is shot in the neck, he falls to the ground near his brother. Watching the fall, it's obvious he falls so that his dead brother's head is about even with John's chest. But the overhead shot shows John's head is even with his brother's abdomen. (01:34:25)

Continuity mistake: When Beck sits in the doorway of the patrol car, the sun is high in the sky, slightly forward and left of the car. But in a close-up as he says 'Well, I got him, didn't I?', the sun is low and to the right/rear of the car. (00:24:45)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When Beck tackles the fleeing suspect after the foot chase, a wide shot shows Beck kneeling over the suspect with his sport jacket's bottom-half folded upward, exposing the lower half of the back of his shirt. In the next shot, close-up, the jacket hangs normally even though the two shots are in consecutive time. (00:23:20)

Continuity mistake: When the patrolman is killed at the start of the film, 8 shots are fired. The first is fired with the pistol inches from the center of his chest while he is standing. The remaining seven are fired while he is lying on the ground (gun is pointed down at the ground where the unseen policeman lies). The shooter then runs off. Yet when the scene is investigated, there are five bullet holes in the rear door of the police car, all below waist level. (00:07:40 - 00:08:40)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: During the chase against the helicopter, some exterior shots of the Charger show all its windows are fully open, but all interior shots (and a few exteriors) show the rear side windows are closed. (01:25:15)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When Deke stands up to defend Mary after Larry has pushed her down, a tire & wheel can be seen lying flat to Deke's left, very close to the car. When Larry walks away moments later, the tire/wheel is significantly further forward and left of the car despite nobody touching it. (01:15:00)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When the Charger pulls into the bar/pool hall's parking lot, the sun is on the side of the building that the Charger is driving past. The shot changes to watch the car approaching from the road and now this same side of the building is in heavy shadow. (01:00:30)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: During the first chase with the Charger, interior shots looking forward show the car has black windshield wiper frames, but shots from the front looking at the windshield show silver frames. (00:57:25)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: As the Impala approaches the drawbridge, the sun is on the right side of the car for most shots, but when the camera is behind the car looking at its tail, the sun is on the car's left side. (00:46:15)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: At the end of an argument, Mary turns to bite Larry's shoulder. As she turns, the view out the side and rear of the car is of a wire fence surrounding an open, golden field. But the moment of her actually biting Larry has a totally black background- possibly shot while the car was stationary with a tarp behind it. (00:29:00)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: At the end of the chase between the Charger and the 'hot rod' police car, they speed into an intersection and turn left. Just before the police car is struck by a gray station wagon, the Charger can be seen leaving the road surface, headed into the trees and grass while braking hard (the stunt driver took the turn too fast and overshot it). The shot changes and the Charger is seen speeding away on the pavement without having had time to turn around, to get back on the road nor to return to high speed. (01:22:15)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When Deke picks Larry up at the start of the film, Deke's sun visor is missing. Moments later, it is in place. (00:02:30 - 00:03:20)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: At the gas station that explodes, a car is lifted high in the left service bay, but is down on the floor when the building explodes. To try and fix this continuity error, a quick close-up shows the controls for the right bay's lift as Christine shoves the Camaro inside the right bay, smashing those controls. This should have no effect on the left lift (each lift is completely independent for safety), yet two quick close-ups (of the blonde guy, then his feet) show the car on the left is now coming down. But long before it could have traveled all the way down, the next shot is from outside as the building explodes with the car firmly on the floor. (01:15:55)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When the Charger parks at the bar/pool hall, the car's rear panel displays an 'R/T' emblem. But as they fill up with fuel minutes later, the 'basic' Charger script and logo replace the R/T emblem seen earlier. (01:00:35 - 01:07:10)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: In various scenes, an odd pattern of scratches appears and disappears from the top portion of the car's driver's-side door. These are due to the car's use as a 'camera platform' during some scenes (like filming Larry through his own window), and the camera mounts have made the scratches. It is obviously not collision damage. Because the camera isn't visible in these shots, this is a continuity error, not a visible equipment error. (01:25:15)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When the blue Impala is shown early in the film from the rear, it has a crooked rear license plate, intact tail lights and trim, a 'Chevrolet' emblem at the right side of the trunk lid, and a pair of square stickers (red, blue) at the right end of the rear bumper. As it enters the flea market, the stickers are gone and the trunklid is dented. As it approaches the drawbridge, the plate is straight, a piece of trim is missing, the exhaust pipe changes, a tail light is broken, the 'Chevrolet' emblem and stickers are gone, and the dented trunk lid is fixed. From shot to shot, these conditions swap back and forth repeatedly. (00:19:10 - 00:46:30)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: When the gas station explodes, one closer shot shows the far right end of the station where the tow truck is parked next to two fuel pumps. Behind the truck, the grounds erupts with a huge explosion. The next shot shows the entire station from further away, and at the right is the truck and two pumps with no fireball rising behind them, yet there should be. (01:16:50)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: While making a sharp left turn, the Charger is struck in the left rear quarter panel by the 'hot rod' police car, deforming that panel severely. But as the Charger again turns left onto a dirt road to 'powder' the cop's face, the panel is undamaged. The shots that follow next show the damage is back for the remainder of the film. (01:20:25)
