Revealing mistake: 8-5 "Death's Name is Sam": The plane hit by the missile is a little too obviously a still photo with the explosion superimposed over it.

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
The Ransom - S3-E6
Revealing mistake: McGarrett paces in his office, and when the shot cuts to a close-up of his feet, the actor's blocking mark is visible, chalked on the carpet.

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Revealing mistake: The teaser contains footage of a stunt-gone-wrong. The getaway truck smashes into a mock-up police cruiser that has been secured with a chain to pull it back out of the shot. The chain breaks, and is visible trailing from the bumper as the fake cruiser starts an unplanned roll down the hill. (It went on to collide with and damage two real HPD patrol cars rented for the production).

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
You Don't Have To Kill To Get Rich -- But It Helps. - S5-E3
Revealing mistake: When the shot pans to its feet, the dead body floating in the water can be seen to wiggle its toes.

The Outer Limits (1963)
Revealing mistake: When the alien posing as a human is exposed, the OBIT screen shows his "true" alien form while he continues to appear human to the naked eye. The actor in alien costume on the screen copies Jeff Corey's movements, but at one point rather badly shatters the illusion by forgetting to raise his arms when Corey does. (00:47:00)

The Outer Limits (1963)
Revealing mistake: In the bakery, Will plays a lively tune on the concertina - without touching any of the button-keys necessary to play the notes. (00:26:15)

The Outer Limits (1963)
The Architects of Fear - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: In this episode's present-day 1963, the scientists view film footage said to have been taken "yesterday." But the rather obvious crowd scene stock footage is ten years old, featuring cars and clothing no newer than 1953. (00:02:00)
28th Feb 2007
The Twilight Zone (1959)
Death Ship - S4-E6
Revealing mistake: When Mason puts the ID card back into the pocket of his dead duplicate, the "corpse" twitches its eyelids. (00:14:30)
11th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Beyond a Treasonable Doubt - S3-E23
Revealing mistake: Somehow you'd think that a gadget-happy government spy agency would be capable of replacing a dead battery. The clock in the SIA HQ board room remains at 10:10 throughout the entire 5-minute interrogation scene with Mundy. (00:07:00)
10th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Revealing mistake: The saloon's upper level railing looks solid until just before the bad guy falls through it, when the cuts in the break-away section are prominently visible. (00:26:05)

The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The U.N.C.L.E. Samurai Affair - S1-E27
Revealing mistake: Mark's stunt double in the final fight scene has a very bad (and obvious) brown wig. Mark's hair, however, is blond. (00:44:00)
27th Jan 2007
The Green Hornet (1966)
Revealing mistake: Reid's rear view mirror, missing in all the medium shots (processed in-studio with an obvious rear-screen projection), mysteriously reappears in full shot when his Chrysler pulls into the car shop. (00:14:00)
27th Jan 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The Phi Beta Killer Affair - S1-E25
Revealing mistake: Mark's stunt double during the fight on the mansion's porch is a very close match for him - except for the fact that he's about 6 inches taller. This causes "Mark's" height in relation to the man he's fighting to fluctuate noticeably (taller than, shorter than, taller than again) between shots. (00:37:15)
27th Jan 2007
Time Tunnel (1966)
Revealing mistake: During the final fight scene, Doug is struck by one of the guards and falls back against a rock. The huge boulder wobbles precariously when he hits it. (00:44:50)
24th Jan 2007
Time Tunnel (1966)
Raiders From Outer Space - S1-E29
Revealing mistake: This episode features borrowed scenes from the historical epic "Khartoum." Unfortunately, the movie footage is in uncorrected Cinemascope, making both the Arab and British armies look bizarrely skinny. (00:14:15)
24th Jan 2007
The Green Hornet (1966)
Revealing mistake: The Black Beauty, Hornet's car, releases a smoke screen to stop the bad guys' plane from taking off. But you can see in several shots that the stunt car actually releasing the smoke is an entirely different make, model and color. (00:21:30)
24th Jan 2007
Time Tunnel (1966)
Revealing mistake: One of the supposedly frozen people in the general store is having a hard time standing still. He keeps swaying from one foot to the other. (00:19:30)
20th Jan 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The Furnace Flats Affair - S1-E22
Revealing mistake: Stock footage spliced in at different points during the desert chase scene increases the size of the posse threefold, and changes the terrain completely from one shot to the next. (00:15:00)
12th Jan 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The Moulin Ruse Affair - S1-E17
Revealing mistake: When April peeks over the rooftop, it's completely dark outside. Every time we see the inserted stock footage of the traffic down below, however, it's a filtered daytime shot. Not one of the cars has its headlights on. (00:11:40)
12th Jan 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The Moulin Ruse Affair - S1-E17
Revealing mistake: Waverly opens a file full of papers with a small photo of April's contact clipped inside. When we see a close-up of the photo, we can also see that the page under it is part of a script treatment. Odd thing for a spy agency to keep on file. (00:18:40)
