A Thief is a Thief (a.k.a. Magnificent Thief) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mundy and Claire are sitting in the car outside the apartment building, the rear view mirror has disappeared (probably removed to prevent it from obscuring the actors' faces). It mysteriously reappears later on. (00:42:45)
30th Nov 2006
Revealing mistake: "Man of Influence": Weston sends the big black Lincoln Continental over a cliff. It's still a Lincoln on the way down, but then stock footage cuts in as it explodes, and it's suddenly a completely different car. (00:33:15)
30th Nov 2006
Right in the Middle of the Season - S4-E11
Revealing mistake: When Kimble exits the police station and closes the door, the set wall wobbles. (00:19:05)
30th Nov 2006
Death Is the Door Prize - S4-E2
Revealing mistake: Marcia demonstrates an early home video recorder at the trade show. Her camera set-up should record her test subjects from a lefthand angle. But her tapes show them all from a righthand angle - the position of the actual studio camera. (00:15:00)
30th Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: "Man of Influence": The invisible Weston follows Geed into the parlor. When the door closes, there's no key in the lock. Then the shot cuts to a close-up of the door, and a key has appeared there, just in time for Weston to turn and lock it. (00:40:40)
30th Nov 2006
A Clean and Quiet Town - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: The rear tires on Kimble's car get stuck in the sand and spin when he's trying to U-turn and avoid the roadblock. After the police order him to drive back to town with them, however, the car wheels somehow unstick themselves, and Kimble has no trouble at all driving out of the sand pit. (00:48:25)
30th Nov 2006
The Other Side of the Coin - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Corby arrests Kimble outside the boarding house, the front door is open and the porch light is on. In the next shot, as they get in the car and drive away, the house door has closed itself and the porch light is off. (00:27:55)
30th Nov 2006
The Other Side of the Coin - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: Corby hides Kimble in the trunk of his car. When it's partially opened, we see Kimble in a horizontal bar of sunlight. After Corby slams the trunk shut, we see another shot of Kimble, who should now be in the dark, still illuminated by the bar of sunlight. (00:47:20)
30th Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: "The Klae Resource": Weston socks Fielder in the stomach and then in the jaw. He falls on the plush carpet, and doesn't hit his head when he goes down, yet he's rubbing the back of his head when he comes to, and not his jaw or stomach. (00:41:00)
27th Nov 2006
Factual error: Madison's 1966 Lincoln Continental is equipped with a car phone, a luxury that, in the 1960s, required a very large external antenna. Somehow, though, Madison's phone works without one. (00:47:45)
27th Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: When Laurel's sister comes to Kimble's hotel room to confront him, an equipment shadow moves across one of the walls, and is reflected in the mirror behind them. (00:06:50)
25th Nov 2006
All the Scared Rabbits - S3-E7
Plot hole: Peggy's old car is left behind in town when the police pick up Kimble and drive him out to the country house in their cruiser. No one goes back for Peggy's car, yet it's somehow back at the house at the end, just in time for Kimble to escape in it. (00:38:40 - 00:45:55)
25th Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: In the middle of the desert, the side of the white van Kimble drives captures the image of two huge rectangular studio light reflectors. (00:04:55)
22nd Nov 2006
Audio problem: When the mayor stalks out of Vilattic's office, we hear the sound effect of the door slamming before it actually closes. (00:14:00)
22nd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: Pilot: Walter signs his name on Weston's work order. But when the shot cuts away from him and then back, he's finishing the same signature that he just finished in the previous shot. (00:09:15)
22nd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: Pilot: When the invisible Weston is cleaning his wounded arm, the gauze stays completely clean until after he tosses it on the table - then it's suddenly stained with blood. (00:47:15)
22nd Nov 2006
Audio problem: One of the perils of filming on location is employing local talent with accents too thick to be understood. Here, both the Italian actors playing the kidnappers are very obviously dubbed over. (00:40:45)
22nd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: Pilot: Weston restores his "visibility" with gloves, a mask and special contact lenses. But when he removes the mask in the back of the van, the eyes are visibly part of the mask itself (with no eye holes), and not separate lenses. (01:07:45)
21st Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: When Madison and his political entourage walk down the hallway, the shadow of the camera precedes them, moving along the wall on the left. (00:06:10)
21st Nov 2006
A Thief is a Thief (a.k.a. Magnificent Thief) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the airline pilot enters first class to announce the baggage search, we see only 7 seated passengers and many empty seats. When the angle reverses, there are instantly 15 people seated, and almost no empty places. (00:25:30)
