The My Friend, the Gorilla Affair - S3-E14
Revealing mistake: The snake encountered by the prisoners is initially black with white markings (a stock shot). But when Illya kicks it aside, it has somehow turned solid gray. It's also very obviously made of rubber. (00:07:25)
3rd Oct 2006
Revealing mistake: Crane overcomes his guard in a fistfight by hitting him in the face three times. But if you watch closely, it's apparent that not one of his blows connects. He "strikes" the air above the man's head all three times. (00:32:00)
3rd Oct 2006
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Revealing mistake: The one-armed man steals a car and a chase ensues. But during that chase, the stunt driver's two arms and two hands are briefly visible on the steering wheel of the fleeing car. (00:11:00)
3rd Oct 2006
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Revealing mistake: The one-armed man's car goes off a cliff and instantly changes color and model type on the way down, exposing the use of poorly-matched stock footage. (00:12:30)
2nd Oct 2006
The Night of the Inferno - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When Liddy's mansion explodes and burns, the switch from real house to cardboard model is very obvious. (00:35:15)
1st Oct 2006
The Night of the Puppeteer - S1-E21
Revealing mistake: Zachariah Skull's bald head has a problem. The latex skull-cap used to cover the actor's hair keeps bubbling and wrinkling as he speaks. (00:43:00)
1st Oct 2006
The Night of the Puppeteer - S1-E21
Revealing mistake: Just before she dances away, the life-size ballerina "puppet" fails to hold her fixed stare and blinks. (00:20:00)
28th Sep 2006
The Night of the Murderous Spring - S1-E27
Revealing mistake: Kitten bends apart the cell bars, allowing West and Gordon to escape. But when they brush against it on the way out, one of the "iron" bars gives, flexing like the rubber that it probably is. (00:40:30)
28th Sep 2006
The Night of the Burning Diamond - S1-E26
Revealing mistake: Artemus is sampling beef stroganoff from a pot on the stove. He then carries the kettle by its swinging handle across the room, tilting it just enough to reveal to the camera that it's really empty. (00:43:10)
27th Sep 2006
Revealing mistake: "Dr. McDee Must Die" (Adventure 5, Part 3): When the champagne glass shatters in front of Sapphire, you can see the mini explosive charge used to break it. It lands on the table among the glass shards. (00:10:00)
26th Sep 2006
The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: On the beach, Molina is petite, thin and small-chested in her wetsuit. Underwater, she mysteriously gains several pounds, bigger muscles and a much larger bust, thanks to a poorly-matched stunt double. (00:12:00)
26th Sep 2006
The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When Seaview's crew recover the diver's body in the beginning and clear seaweed from his mask, the "dead" man is blinking. (00:01:20)
26th Sep 2006
The Fiery Angel Affair - S4-E9
Revealing mistake: The white 1967 Plymouth Valiant that's pushed off the cliff suddenly turns into a much older 1950s sedan when it goes over, revealing that the crash is stock footage. (00:40:30)
25th Sep 2006
The Fiery Angel Affair - S4-E9
Revealing mistake: When the bull charges Solo, chases him over the gate and then slams its horns into the wood, you can see the stick used to operate the fake bull's head. A large section of it is visible just behind the mock-up's neck. (00:34:45)
22nd Sep 2006
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Revealing mistake: During the fight in the cemetery, Illya's stunt double's face is fully visible several times. (00:42:50)
16th Sep 2006
Revealing mistake: "Night of the Jack of Diamonds": During his fight with West, Sordo the bandito, who has a gray beard, is suddenly several years younger with a dark brown beard, thanks to the substitution of a stunt double. (00:35:30)
15th Sep 2006
Revealing mistake: One of the saboteurs sneaking into the palace keeps looking up at someone off camera. He's not watching the door he just entered by, so who's he looking at in what should be an empty corner of the room? (00:00:30)
11th Sep 2006
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Revealing mistake: Gardner and Illya are chained to a mine shaft post and the Thrush bad guys trigger a cave-in to seal them in. As the debris falls, you can see the entire "stone" wall behind them rock and wobble flimsily from side to side. (00:23:50)
9th Sep 2006
The Yo-Ho-Ho and a Bottle of Rum Affair - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: The ship is supposedly pitching heavily in stormy seas. But because the tilting effect is merely the camera moving, the whiskey bottle, glass and other items on Captain Morton's desk don't slide or fall off. In fact, they don't move at all. (00:23:15)
7th Sep 2006
The Sort of Do-It-Yourself Dreadful Affair - S3-E2
Revealing mistake: Thrush's android army is composed of dozens of identical robot women. The first 6 we see (from behind) do have identical heights, shapes, clothes and wigs. But we then see shots of girls with varying shapes and hair lengths, capped by a far-too-close angle on their obvious (and very bad) rubber masks. (00:42:00 - 00:44:50)
