Other mistake: A group of four operators have infiltrated a house and assassinated a victim by shooting him in his bed. Four rounds to the body are fired. When they go to the victim to get a confirmation sample, there is no blood seeping anywhere.

Triage - S4-E1

Other mistake: The opening scene shows a captive with a hood over his head being dragged barefoot along a long driveway by two men. His feet are dragging over the ground. He is then strung up by his hands, and when they show his feet, there is not a scratch on them.

Other mistake: When Marilyn is standing on the subway grate and the skirt is billowing up, there is one of the takes where there is a dark spot near the front of the skirt. All others are spotless.

Factual error: Norma Jean's mother is driving away from the house onto the street. She turns left and crosses a yellow dividing lane in the middle of the street. It is supposed to be 1933. But these yellow dividers did not come into existence until the 1950's.

Continuity mistake: Young Norma Jean is shown a photo of her father placed at the head of her bed. It has him facing right and there is a large white defect in the photo at the upper left corner. When the photo is "talking" to her in a succeeding scene, he is facing left, and the defect is on the upper right corner.

Continuity mistake: Henley Reeves comes out with her three partners and is wearing long black trousers. A few moments later, she is wearing a black leather minidress.

Factual error: Liz is told by MILO that the planet they are heading for, Wolf 10-61c, has a permanent hot side and a permanent cold side due to its lack of rotation. Wrong. The planet circles its sun in 18 days. If it did not rotate, its sun would expose all sides of the planet to its rays every 18 days. In order to have permanent hot and cold sides, the rotation of the planet has to equal the 18 days around its sun. The same as the planet Mercury revolves and rotates at equal intervals around our Sun.

The Devil We Know - S1-E9

Factual error: There are two Marines posted at Marine 1, the Presidential helicopter. Their pants are ridiculously long and not the image of Marines with well-fitted uniforms. Their position of attention is wrong, with the hands clenched and placed on their thighs as opposed to being fixed at the sides. Worse, when they saluted with their right hands were above the service cap brim, instead of the fingertips touching the bottom of the brim.

FILE #9 - S1-E9

Other mistake: Paul hands Abby a very thin envelope. It is supposed to contain: an insurance policy, a car title, a property deed, and an airline ticket, among other items. But that is impossible given how thin the envelope was.

Dark Skies - S5-E8

Character mistake: Higgins and TC are investigating a drug smuggler camp in Maui. TC sees a box of cigarettes and says the people in the camp must be Latino because the cigarette box is in Spanish. Wrong. The box says Cigarillos, which are small, short cigars. If the box was in Spanish it would say Cigarrillos, which is cigarettes in Spanish.

Other mistake: Five people are walking in the forest to find a new place to stay. One person is not carrying anything. A child is carrying a camp lantern. One man is carrying a medium size duffel pack. Of the remaining two are one leading an injured man with a bandage on his eyes. No packs. When they make camp the have a large tent, a camp stove, a pot, and a sleeping bag, even fishing poles and gear. No way would all that fit in the one bag.

Factual error: A group of people are traveling in a pickup truck escaping earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They come across a mist that they identify as sulphur dioxide, mainly by its smell and effects on people. Then the plastic interior of the car starts to melt, and they attribute it to the sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide can attack plastics and rubber, but only in its liquid form. It turns gaseous at -10° C. After that it is a gas. So the melting of plastic is not correct at ambient temperature.

Other mistake: Agent Maddy is approaching the scene of a downtown explosion and fire. She has her FBI badge showing on her belt. As she approaches the police line she rummages in her jacket and looks down at where the badge is, but reaches into the adjacent pocket to pull out another badge in a wallet. Why not identify herself with the badge on her belt?

Factual error: Victor (played by Robin) is trying to charge an iPhone in an alternate timeline. He bares and pushes two wires into the charging slot and the phone begins to charge. That is not possible. The charging connector has very closely spaced terminals and there is no way pushing two wires in the slot is going to charge it.

toroscan

Revealing mistake: Robin is running away from company investigators. He comes across a supposed wire link fence. He breaks it with his bare hands, and by the flapping of the open piece you can see it is made with strings not wire.

Fed to the Sharks - S2-E21

Other mistake: Two FBI agents are speeding along a utility road trying to get to the airport and prevent a plane from taking off. They come across a closed steel gate in their way. They speed up the SUV and crash through the gate, and they get through as the gate breaks into many pieces. When their car gets to the airport we can see the SUV and there is not even a scratch on it.

Factual error: None of the spacesuits have seals at the neck. The helmets just sit on the suit. No way that would work in a vacuum.

Plot hole: Echelon controlled satellites hit targets on Earth with pinpoint accuracy. A lot of them involve creating storms to ravage an objective. One of them is started over 18 hours away from the target (how they know is another mystery), but this is what gives the characters time and allows the movie plot to continue to the end to defeat Echelon.

toroscan

Factual error: Declan takes a gun from his glove compartment and nothing else. I counted that he fired 22 shots before being put down. There is no way that gun had a 22+ round magazine.

Factual error: While measuring the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) being given off by Stonehenge in the film, a scientist exclaims that the frequency is increasing to over 100 Gigahertz, and is approaching radioactivity. This is absurd. EMF is radiation of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum of frequencies. Its strength depends on the frequency at which it is measured, with no relation to radioactivity whatsoever. It has a magnetic and an electrical component, but no nuclear breakdown as such.
