Continuity mistake: When John startles Clem, she drops all three of her packages to the floor. In the next shot, one is back on the table even before she bends to retrieve them. She then puts the flat parcel on top of the two rectangular ones - but one shot later, it has moved itself off the stack and onto the table. (00:31:30)

Factual error: Moody's hotel room wall lamp has an electric bulb in it. So do all the Chinese lanterns in the following barn dance scene. (00:44:15)

Revealing mistake: When the wheel breaks and the coach crashes, it is visibly empty. The five passengers who were riding inside have disappeared. (00:12:15)

Jean G

Continuity mistake: The stage leaves town with two drivers who are both wearing white hats and light-colored clothing. A few shots later, as it crosses the plains, one driver now has a black hat and a black outfit. (00:08:10 - 00:11:40)

Jean G

Continuity mistake: The third time we see the stagecoach on its way to Denver, it's passing the exact same tree and hill that it passed at the start of its journey. It's also traveling on a paved road, which in 1860s frontier Colorado is extremely unlikely. (00:11:15)

An Impossible Silence - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Catherine enters the precinct station, the desk sergeant places a small white file box on the counter. There's nothing else sitting next to this, but when the shot reverses, a tall black police radio with an antenna sticking up has appeared there. (00:16:10)

Soul Beneficiary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Dresden locks the double doors to his office, the window blind on the right is rolled up higher than the left one. But when he turns to talk to Bob, the left blind is suddenly several inches higher than the right one. (00:41:30)

The Night of the Big Blast - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: While Artemus talks to Lily at her dining table, he clasps his hands behind his back and is standing up straight. When the shot cuts, he's suddenly leaning forward with his left arm extended to the table. (00:11:25)

Jean G

Plot hole: All those years in the spy biz as U.N.C.L.E.'s very famous top agents, and Solo and Illya are still able to successfully go undercover with little or no disguise. Here, all Illya needs is a phony mustache and an even phonier accent. And of course (gotta love it), the Thrush bad guys still don't recognize him. (00:49:00)

Jean G

Continuity mistake: During the climactic fight with Janus, Illya gets covered with white dust. When he rolls over and fires the spear gun a few shots later, all the dust has vanished from the front of his coveralls. (01:24:00)

Jean G

Revealing mistake: Solo's stunt double is easy to spot in the scene where he rappels down the cliff and jumps into the truck bed. The double has quite a bit more hair. (01:12:30)

Jean G

Bad Blood - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When he's in Arvin's apartment with Bianca, Dresden's hair gets mussed and is standing up in tufts at several points on his head. Between takes, though, it neatly combs itself. (00:29:40)

Jean G

Soul Beneficiary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the scrambled eggs on the breakfast plate, without being touched, change from being spread across half the dish to being bunched up into half that space. (00:00:35)

Jean G

Continuity mistake: The KGB's blue car is in good cosmetic condition when the car chase begins. But in one shot, as it's pursuing Solo, there's considerable damage to its front end - from a crash that doesn't happen until several shots later. (00:23:00)

Jean G

Visible crew/equipment: Just after JB says, "Shaken, but not stirred," the camera lights are reflected moving across the chrome trim of his car window. (00:25:10)
