Revealing mistake: McGarrett's office is on the 2nd floor. Yet the photo backdrops outside his windows in this episode show us a ground-level view of grass, streets and a building. This boo-boo vanishes in subsequent episodes, replaced with the more likely views of balconies, palm trees and blue sky. (00:08:00)

The Fugitive (1963)
Revealing mistake: The last scenes of the grand finale/climax occur in an abandoned amusement park that's supposed to be in inland Indiana. But several shots with the Pacific Ocean "lurking" in the background (despite the cameraman's best efforts to hide or avoid it), as well as palm trees, and ocean sounds intruding on the soundtrack, reveal that the actual shooting location was in Southern California. (00:37:15)

The Invisible Man (1975)
Continuity mistake: "Stop When Red Lights Flash": The invisible Weston spies on A.J. and Charlie as they open the safe, observes the combination, and then waits until they leave to open the safe himself. But the combination he dials isn't the same one they just used. (00:20:40)

The Invisible Man (1975)
Revealing mistake: "Stop When Red Lights Flash": In the cell with Kate, Weston puts on his mask, making only his head visible. But the blue-screen matte used for this special effect is, weirdly, showing through his blue eyes. (00:23:40)

Dossier on a Diplomat - S4-E25
Continuity mistake: Kimble tells Hobart there's no new evidence that could get him another trial. But maybe Dr. Kimble is suffering from amnesia. In the past 3 1/2 seasons, he's uncovered no fewer than four potential witnesses who could provide new evidence in a second trial. (00:22:35)
5th Dec 2006
The Invisible Man (1975)
Plot hole: "Sight Unseen": Wells has the key to Lori's shackles. Weston, who knows this, knocks Wells out, but instead of taking his keys, uses a completely unnecessary (and considerably more difficult) set of bolt cutters to break the leg cuffs. (00:32:30)
5th Dec 2006
It Takes a Thief (1968)
When Good Friends Get Together - S1-E9

The Breaking of the Habit - S4-E19

The Fugitive (1963)
Continuity mistake: Rafe and Kimble escape handcuffed together. They break the linking chain with a rock: each then wears a single bracelet. But when he kneels to examine the dead deputy, Kimble is wearing a cuff with an intact chain and an empty bracelet hanging from it. (00:28:45)
2nd Dec 2006
