Visible crew/equipment: As the camera flies over the train, in the upper right corner of the screen there is some equipment and umbrella visible that are not likely to just be in the middle of nowhere - probably filming equipment. In the next shot they are gone. (00:31:05)

Revealing mistake: The guy who is jumping to the water is definitely not Mulder. It is a stunt. (00:21:20)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Continuity mistake: Mulder jumps down by the fence in two configurations: one when he is filmed with a closeup (left side), and the other while he is filmed from the distance just a moment after (right side). (00:08:15)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Other mistake: It seems that the first round fired by the hit squad destroys the camera or its power supply unit, because the satellite transmission is interrupted exactly at the moment the squad enters the train car. However, the members of the squad firstly shoot in the glass and then at the doctors. (00:06:25)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Continuity mistake: Near the start, the train on the track adjacent to the train car's track is either moving or not, depending on the shot. (00:01:05)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Plot hole: The guy who was standing at the back of the train car was somehow able to move to the front of it. This was impossible because the train car was sealed and no unauthorized person could enter it. (00:00:50)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Other mistake: There is too much light on the ceiling for the tiny hole Amy accidentally discovers on the wall. In one shot it is plain to see that there are other light sources. (00:20:00)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Continuity mistake: Ellen stays by the door looking to the right from it, but in the next shot she looks straight at Mr Incanto. (00:33:55)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Revealing mistake: When the car hits the tree, one can notice that there's a stunt sitting behind the wheel instead of the warden. (00:42:05)

The X-Files (1993)
Factual error: Skinner says that he could not print the file. However, Scully somehow must have been able to print it in order to give a hard copy to Albert Holsteen for his translation. (00:26:35)
11th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Factual error: Mulder tells Scully that he is trying 27828 and it is not working. It is not surprising that it is not working, because the Napier constant is not 27828, it is 271828. Plus they somehow they know how many digits from this constant should be entered on the keyboards. (00:15:55)

The X-Files (1993)
Other mistake: The heavy rain falls and bangs on the greenhouse roof, although Mulder and Scully are completely dry, even though they carry no umbrella with them. (00:10:20)

Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Character mistake: Mulder asks Scully about "the fourth commandment about obeying the Sabbath, the part when God made heaven and Earth " However, Scully as a Catholic should know that this is the third commandment for Catholics. This is also an indirect indication that Mulder was raised in Jewish religion. (00:09:25)

The X-Files (1993)
Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Factual error: It is completely impossible the Thinker has made a digital copy that cannot be duplicated.
8th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Other mistake: Unlike Mr Chaco, who has the brace clamped around his neck, Scully is clamped around the top of her head, which is a quite irrational way of executing a person, because the clamp does not serve as a stabilizer. In fact, in this arrangement, Scully is not fixed to the stand at all. (00:38:15)
8th Apr 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Soft Light - S2-E23
Factual error: Dr Banton's shadow devours the second policeman, however Banton cannot cast a shadow in that direction. (00:11:35)
30th Mar 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Soft Light - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: When the guy looks through the peephole, Dr Banton casts no shadow, while in other scenes he does. (00:01:55)
30th Mar 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Soft Light - S2-E23
Revealing mistake: When taking a closer look at the doors of the hotel and the people entering it at the start, it can be easily noticed that this scene is played backwards. (00:00:05)
30th Mar 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Scully starts the procedure of taking out the bug from the body, she is wearing no mask, but when she finishes it she is wearing the mask. (00:21:45)
30th Mar 2015
The X-Files (1993)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mulder climbs up the tower of the submarine, his shadow is visible, projected on a studio wall. (00:32:40)
