Narrow Escape - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Gene is chasing a smuggler who is driving a horse and buggy with an unwitting Pat Buttram by his side. The smuggler drives past a roadside post marking the U.S.-Mexico border. In the immediate long shot of Gene chasing him, the post has disappeared. (00:22:05)

Thunder Out West - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: George Evans and Reverend Parker are playing chess when they hear a knock at the door. George asks, "Now who could that be at this late hour?" Gene enters and says, "I hate to trouble you at this time of night." Gene says the Cattlemen's Association safe has been blown open and asks George to ride into town with him and determine how much money is missing. When they arrive in town, it is midday. (00:04:40)

Other mistake: In "Violent Is The Word For Curly" (1938), the Stooges are mistaken for college professors. They are teaching a group of students at the all-girls school Mildew College to sing "Swingin' The Alphabet." During the song, the girls sing "Curly's a dope." The dean had introduced the three men as Professors Feinstein, Frankfurter and VonStupor - so how did the girls know Curly's name?

Other mistake: In "An Ache In Every Stake" (1941), when Moe and Larry fall out of their ice wagon and land in the street, it is obvious that stunt doubles were used. When the scene cuts from the doubles to the real Moe and Larry, Moe's legs are in a different position.

Other mistake: In "An Ache In Every Stake" (1941), Vernon Dent is running down a lengthy set of stairs as an icebox is rolling down above him. (The stairs were also used in the 1932 Laurel and Hardy short "The Music Box.") One scene of Dent running down the stairs is shown twice in succession.

Continuity mistake: Mr. Toad is wearing salmon-colored trousers and riding a horse. As they stop to watch a "motor car" pass by, Toad's trousers are grey. After the car has passed, they are once again salmon.

Continuity mistake: A cannonball fired from Captain Hook's ship hits a cliff where Peter Pan, Wendy, John and Michael are watching. The blast hurls the four into the air. When Wendy regains consciousness, she is lying face down on the shore as waves wash over her. As she runs up the hillside to search for the others, her clothes are dry and her hair is blowing in the breeze. (00:23:20)

Rock River Feud - S2-E16

Other mistake: Pat, riding a wagon pulled by two horses and headed to Rock River, slows to look at a sign. The sign, shown in close-up, says "ROCK RIVER, 5 MI." An arrow points to the right - but that is the direction Pat is coming from. The arrow should be pointing to the left.

Rock River Feud - S2-E16

Other mistake: Gene enters his ranch house and tells Pat, "I picked up a letter for you at the post office - special delivery." A special delivery letter would have been taken to the addressee upon receipt. It would not be left at the post office.

Melody Mesa - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: The episode opens with a close-up of a poster saying "Elect John Nevers Sheriff" and the shadows of several branches across it. In the long shot, the branches are blowing in the wind. The opening shot is obviously a still photo. (00:00:38)

Steven Lee

Other mistake: Fleeing the Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane and his horse tumble down a cliff and land in a lake. They are completely submerged but when they come out of the lake they are both completely dry.

Steven Lee

Other mistake: Just as Ichabod Crane places his coat across a small stream of muddy water so Katrina can cross, Brom Bones rides his horse through the water, creating a large splash. Ichabod winds up covered with mud and sitting in the water. Brom scoops up Katrina and rides off with her. There is not a speck of mud or water on her, on Brom or on the horse.

Continuity mistake: In the "Mickey and The Beanstalk" segment, the Golden Harp is locked inside a chest and has 19 strings. When she is on the table and singing to Willie, she has only nine strings.
