Visible crew/equipment: In the foot-chase-on-the-beach scene, there are tracks in the sand from the camera crew's truck. They vanish and then reappear when the camera angle changes.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Plot hole: The scriptwriter here apparently never saw earlier episodes in which it was well-established that Manolito spoke fluent Apache. In a scene where he attempts to sneak past two braves while disguised as an Apache, he suddenly can't speak the language when they challenge him.

The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: During the scene with Number 6 and the young woman in the stone boat, Number 6's jacket changes from one shot to the next. The design of the white piping is distinctively different.

The High Chaparral (1967)
A Man to Match the Land - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: Red Eagle's war paint changes between takes. Sometimes it's red with blue striping. In other shots, the blue stripes disappear.
16th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Revealing mistake: When Number 6 first enters the bedroom, the light that hangs from the ceiling is moving as though someone has brushed against it. But there's no one else in the room.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Continuity mistake: The blood stain on Sangre's clothing disappears when Manolito borrows the outfit as a disguise. It reappears at the end just in time for Sangre to put the clothes back on again. (00:39:20)
16th Dec 2007
The High Chaparral (1967)
Visible crew/equipment: When Sangre attacks the soldier and the man's rifle falls during the fight, the shot cuts to a close-up of the gun - and we can see several white blocking marks chalked on the floor beside it. (00:33:50)
16th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: The Villager Rover attacks changes outfits several times between shots. He's wearing a striped sweater that turns into a pink jacket that turns back into the sweater, etc.
16th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Visible crew/equipment: When Number 6 first walks into his Village bedroom, a film crew member can be spotted walking past the window.
16th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Visible crew/equipment: When Number 6 holds up the radio, the camera angle tilts just enough to show us a brief glimpse of the top edge of the studio set.
15th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: When Number 6 observes the stone boat, the tide appears to change from high to low between shots.
15th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Revealing mistake: Though the Village isn't supposed to have automobiles (only the little "golf cart" transports), there are several parked cars visible in the shot of Rover floating down to attack the fleeing Villager.
15th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Watch the stone boat in the background as Number 6 and Number 2 discuss the oldsters having "every comfort." Between shots, the senior citizens vanish from the boat.

The Explosive Generation (1961)
Revealing mistake: During several of the driving sequences, the teenager in the driver's seat turns the steering wheel - but the rear screen projection keeps the car "moving" in a straight line. And it's particularly ironic in light of the movie's "big message" that the students here bear no resemblance to real-life teenagers in any real school. They're all slim, trim, athletic and model-gorgeous, as well as all-too-obviously not teenagers at all. (Because US child labor laws severely restrict the hours that underage actors can work, many films "cheat" by having youthful 20-somethings play the teens.)

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Visible crew/equipment: Several times in this episode, the side of McGarrett's shiny black Mercury sedan mirrors an entire bank of big square studio light reflectors. (00:35:00)
14th Dec 2007
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Audio problem: Probably due to poor sound pick-up outdoors so near the ocean, much of the dialogue on the beach house patio is noticeably overdubbed. The sound is often out of sync with the actors' lips. (00:39:00)
13th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: When Number 6 climbs to the top of the bell tower and looks down at the Village, the beach below him changes remarkably between shots. The sequence was obviously shot at different times of day, as the tide is in during much of the scene, but in several intervening shots, the beach sand is completely exposed.
13th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Number 6 is looking out his window as the maid runs down the stairs. As he watches her, two tables in his apartment change places with each other between takes. A large table with a statue/sculpture on it switches positions with a smaller table on which his lamp and telephone rest.
13th Dec 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: The telephone kiosk Number 6 uses at the beginning changes both its shape and its location between takes. Sometimes it's under an archway: in other shots, it's next to the restaurant instead. And in some shots, the hood above the phone has square/straight edges, while in others, its edges are round.
13th Dec 2007
The Explosive Generation (1961)
Visible crew/equipment: When William Shatner's character first enters the classroom, the boom mike is hanging completely into the frame at the top of the screen, and can be seen sweeping to the left as the students take their seats. (This is visible in both aired-on-TV and DVD versions.). (00:12:15)
