Dark Spirit - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: At the end, Catherine is face down on the floor as the voodoo cultist ties her hands behind her back. When the shot cuts, she's abruptly turned face up. (00:45:30)

Dark Spirit - S1-E9
Visible crew/equipment: In the parking garage, Catherine's car captures a reflection of both the camera crew and the studio lighting panels. (00:26:00)

Fallen Star - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: Diamond takes a full cup of coffee from the vending machine and walks down the corridor with it as he talks to Mark. He takes only three brief sips from the cup before turning to leave. There are no time gaps in the scene, nor is there anywhere for him to have poured the coffee out, yet he tosses an empty cup into the trash on his way out the door.

Factual error: It's stated when Roosevelt arrives to take charge of the unit that he's new to military life. In fact, he was an infantry commander with the NY National Guard in the 1880s, so was no stranger to the military at all.

The Night of the Eccentrics - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: Behind West, when he's suspended over the electrical field, you can see the shadow of the boom mike and rigging pole moving on the wall. (00:35:05)
30th Mar 2008
Plot hole: Laura successfully knocks out both bad guys, steals their van and crashes through the warehouse doors. The van doesn't stall, but inexplicably, she stops it, gets out and runs away on foot, even though the baddies are coming to and coming after her. Not the option you'd expect a kidnap victim to choose: most people would floor it and keep on driving. (00:23:40)
30th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: Steele props up the deceased Kalil and puts a cigarette in the dead man's hand. When the camera angle reverses, the cigarette moves to a different position: first it's between fingers two and three, then it's between three and four. (00:25:45)

The Night of the Eccentrics - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When the Eccentrics outline their nefarious plan to assassinate Juarez, the boom mike shadow is moving on the door behind West and Gordon. (00:28:30)

The Night of the Eccentrics - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: Tony throws two knives at West - but on the wall where the knives hit, the rectangular openings from which the blades actually emerge are delineated beforehand. Happens again a few scenes later, where slots cut in the door are already there before the knives are thrown. [Spoiler: It's inconsequential to the "revealing" error, but if you play the scene in slow motion, you can see that both times, the knives pop through from the back of the "wall." This is also how the carnival trick is performed.] (00:17:05)

The Night of the Eccentrics - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: West walks through the gate into the amusement park and twice passes very visible truck tire treadmarks in the dirt street. (00:09:30)
30th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: The windshield of Morey's car shatters when they storm Considine's gate. The glass is spidered and sagging, but all there - until a few shots later, when suddenly more than two-thirds of the windshield is missing altogether. No one had time to knock the glass out. (00:44:45 - 00:46:10)
30th Mar 2008
Factual error: Jeweler Albert Harrad calls Laura from his desk phone, but only punches six buttons before getting hold of her office. All U.S. phone numbers have seven digits: six wouldn't have connected him to anything. (00:37:30)

And Whose Little Baby Are You? - S4-E18
Audio problem: When Diamond and his date are entering his apartment and he says, "You never know," his lips aren't moving with the words. (00:03:00)
28th Mar 2008
And Whose Little Baby Are You? - S4-E18
Revealing mistake: The $100 bills Diamond picks up from the table are very obviously not real. The stage money's rather frilly design pattern looks vaguely like some currency from the 19th Century, but it doesn't resemble anything in circulation in the 1950s. (00:06:30)

Trivia: According to Peter O'Toole, he and Omar Sharif were so nervous about possibly falling off the galloping camels that they both got roaring drunk the day the scene was to be shot, and Sharif decided to tie himself onto the animal. After racing down a sand dune on camelback, O'Toole turned to find Sharif's camel standing in a pond with its alcohol-anesthetized rider dangling upside-down by one foot. A crew member proceeded to "sober" Sharif by cutting the bindings and allowing him to fall head first into the water. (As told to Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" March 24, 2008).

In the Steele of the Night - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: During the "Best Murder" game, Laura drains her brandy glass. A few shots later, without benefit of refill, her glass has regained at least two "fingers" of brandy again. (00:11:30)
27th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: Sarota the hellion leaps through the window, and all the glass breaks out. The shot changes to an inside view, and two large portions of window glass now remain in the frame. (00:09:00)
27th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: When Catherine first approaches, Father is sitting on the cot leaning against the bars at the very front of the cell. In the next shot, as she walks past him, he is abruptly sitting on the other end of the bed, several feet away. (00:31:00)
27th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: At the end, Hughes is stabbed and falls against the basement wall, touching it. When Catherine kneels down beside him a moment later, he's lying several feet away from the wall. (00:45:30)
27th Mar 2008
Beast Within - S1-E6
Plot hole: The mob hitmen are about to enter the Sweeny family's house to kill them when the police van arrives to move them to a witness protection safe house. In the next scene, the bad guys abduct Catherine and try to force her to reveal where the Sweenies have been taken. Why? They could very easily have waited and simply followed the van. (00:36:30)
