Revealing mistake: "Night of the Running Death": During West and Gordon's poker game at the end, Gordon tilts the table by at least 30 degrees - and none of the poker chips, cards or cash moves an inch. Apparently, everything was glued down. (00:44:30)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Murderous Spring - S1-E27
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Loveless falls from the sill of the double window, the right half of the frame is open (the camera view being from the outside looking in). When West rushes outside to find the "body" missing, the right frame has closed itself and the left is now open. (00:08:40)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Wolf - S2-E27
Revealing mistake: Talamantes' giant pet spider looks pretty impressive - until it moves and reveals that its wiggling legs are made of rubber. (00:23:30)
16th Apr 2010
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Wolf - S2-E27

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Wolf - S2-E27
Continuity mistake: The boot heel West removes to obtain his hidden explosive somehow reattaches itself by the time he leaps into the mining car. (He doesn't stop to put it back - he's running for his life from a pack of hungry wolves.) His boots also change from black to brown by the time he makes it outside and jumps on his trusty horse. (00:32:40)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Wolf - S2-E27
Revealing mistake: Though the stock footage is of a real wolf, the animal West wrestles with is too-obviously a dog wearing a fake pair of wolf ears. In later wrestling matches between West and the wolves, the attacking beast is a stuffed prop that never moves its legs, head or jaws at all. (00:03:30)

Moon of the Wolf (1972)
Revealing mistake: Louise kills the werewolf by firing three "blessed" bullets at him. But the third time she fires, the revolver doesn't revolve: the chamber remains stationary.
11th Apr 2010
Moon of the Wolf (1972)
Revealing mistake: Just before Louise shoots him, Andrew turns to face the camera, and the blood packs under his shirt are very visibly outlined.
11th Apr 2010
Amistad (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Cinque approaches the bonfire, he's wearing his coat. When the camera angle changes, the coat has disappeared and he's wearing a white shirt.

12 O'Clock High (1964)
Mutiny at Ten Thousand Feet - S1-E25
Continuity mistake: While Savage struggles with Kemp in the cockpit, the bomber goes into a nosedive. The next shot is stock footage that shows several people jumping from the plane and deploying parachutes. But when we cut back to the interior set, no one in Savage's crew has bailed. (00:42:00)

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Continuity mistake: In the opening sequence, the venetian blinds in Dixon Hill's office rearrange themselves between takes. They're intact after the shooting, but moments later, despite being untouched by anyone in the room, they're broken and have a huge gap in them. (00:07:00)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Deadly Blossom - S2-E25
Continuity mistake: When Barclay hangs the bone hatchet back in its place, the outline on the wall supposedly left by the item differs significantly from the artifact itself. (Most noticeable is the upper end: the outline has one long curled tip, but the actual hatchet has two short prongs there.) The outline was apparently drawn without the prop, or from a different prop altogether. (00:12:05)
24th Feb 2010
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Data's Day - S4-E11
Continuity mistake: At the end, Picard shows Data a baby born during the crisis. Neither of them touches it, but between shots, the baby's blanket changes positions. First it's almost completely covering his head and face, then it's pulled down and showing much more of him. (00:42:15)
11th Feb 2010
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Revealing mistake: During the bunker siege, footage recycled from an earlier episode creates the sudden appearance of a white station wagon parked beside the police cruisers that isn't there in all the other shots. (00:41:40)
11th Feb 2010
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: After murdering the cop, Frank and Luther steal a rifle from the squad car, then close the door. No one goes near the car again, but a few minutes later, the door has re-opened itself. (00:06:00 - 00:11:15)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Continuity mistake: Laura fires at the wall, leaving a bullet hole near Waverly's head. In the next shot, as they're effecting their escape, the bullet hole has disappeared. (00:44:05)
1st Feb 2010
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Continuity mistake: Solo and Illya park their big Chrysler convertible in front of Del Floria's and go inside. The shot then cuts to the tailor shop's interior with a view of the street through the window, and the car they just parked out front is nowhere to be seen. (00:00:20)
