Star-Crossed - June 15, 1972 - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Sam stares at himself in the mirror and takes out his wallet to determine who he's leaped into. But the "reflection" in the mirror lowers the wallet and looks back up before Sam does. (00:05:20)
12th Dec 2008
Revealing mistake: Near the end, McGarrett's boat is preceded by the wake of another boat that isn't there when the angle of the shot reverses. The wake belongs to the vessel carrying the camera crew. (00:46:45)
12th Dec 2008
Revealing mistake: When the underwater camera breaks the surface in what is supposed to be open ocean, the domed roof of a Hawaiian aquatic theme park building is visible in the background.
27th Nov 2008
Revealing mistake: During his scuffle with the intruder, Kelly's stunt double's face is visible in several shots. (00:06:40)
20th Nov 2008
Rome ... Take Away Three - S2-E16
Revealing mistake: Kelly finds Tilde dead on her couch. But when he touches her, the "dead" woman's eyelids twitch. (00:37:05)
14th Nov 2008
Revealing mistake: In the final chase scene, the substitution of a stunt double is noticeable when Malachi Throne's character suddenly acquires considerably more hair. (00:40:10)
13th Nov 2008
It's All Done with Mirrors - S1-E27
Revealing mistake: During Scott and Kelly's scuffle in the restaurant, the stunt men's faces are visible several times. (00:27:25)
20th Oct 2008
Revealing mistake: For most of the opera house stage presentation, the monster is a full head taller than Friedrich. During the tap dance, however, they're the same height. Although the camera angle/depth of field used tries to disguise this by keeping Gene Wilder in the foreground for most of the shots, it's still apparent that Peter Boyle isn't wearing his probably-impossible-to-dance-in platform shoes during the sequence. (01:24:00)
20th Sep 2008
With This Ring, I Thee Kill! - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: In the hospital, a male nurse stands by as Rhodes talks to the patient, keeping an eye on all the beeping vital-signs monitors. But there's nothing attached to the man in the bed - no wires, no leads, not even an IV.
17th Sep 2008
Water's Edge - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: The murder victim's skeleton, which Rusty finds in the attic, has a clear cut all the way around its skull. It also has metal pins holding together what turns out to be rubber bones: one of the ribs wobbles up and down when Rusty brushes against it with the cash box. (00:42:00)
15th Sep 2008
Revealing mistake: Gerald hides what are supposed to be thousand-dollar bills inside Emmy's magazines. But the money he's handling all carries George Washington's portrait. It's one-dollar bills. (00:30:00)
9th Sep 2008
Nora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: Not only does Batman's solo flute play two music tracks at once, it also keeps on playing after he's taken it out of his mouth. (00:20:00)
2nd Sep 2008
A Horse of Another Color (2) - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: Ethel Merman just can't keep a straight face amidst Batman's campy silliness. Here and in the previous episode, she can be seen cracking up in several of her scenes with Burgess Meredith. (00:05:00)
27th Aug 2008
Catwoman Goes to College (1) - S2-E49
Revealing mistake: The crowd scenes during what is supposedly a Gotham City University student protest rally are inserts of rather blurry old stock footage. Not only is the mob far too large for a mere college rally, the footage is in black & white, while the rest of Batman is in color. Bit of a dead giveaway. (00:23:00)
24th Aug 2008
The Joker's Last Laugh (1) - S2-E47
Revealing mistake: The counterfeit 100 dollar bills that Gordon and O'Hara say look "so authentic" don't actually resemble any known U.S. currency at all. In fact, a close look reveals them to be very bad photocopies of Mexican 100 peso notes. (00:01:00)
23rd Aug 2008
Revealing mistake: "Who Killed the Rest?" The boat we see speeding toward shore explodes - but in the brief shot of it just before the detonation, the substitution of a model is apparent. The two vessels don't look anything alike. (00:02:00)
15th Aug 2008
The Penguin's Nest (1) - S2-E27
Revealing mistake: When Bruce, Dick and Aunt Harriet get into what's supposed to be an elevator, there's solid concrete under the sliding doors where there should be a break separating the lift car from the building's floor. It's visible again in Part 2, when Batman and Robin use the same elevator. (00:04:30)
4th Aug 2008
Revealing mistake: The giant crystal's red beam strikes Zaran at the end, turning him into a skeleton. But the lab specimen used for this effect is a little too obviously just that: you can see the pins holding the bones together, as well as the surgical saw incision in the skull. (01:27:00)
1st Aug 2008
Revealing mistake: When he's speaking to Demetrius, Azor turns his back to the camera, and the zipper in his costume is visible.
1st Aug 2008
The Greatest Mother of Them All (1) - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: When Ma Parker activates her jet-propelled wheelchair, the much younger stunt woman's face is visible as the chair speeds down the hallway toward Batman and Robin. (00:09:15)
