Continuity mistake: Curled up in the bunk bed, Nigel apologizes for the plot contrivance hit to Sydney's noggin. He is clutching the book, with his hands in obviously different spots between the two shots. (00:10:55)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Sydney is reminiscing about her Peruvian fling; in the foreground her client is taking a sip of wine, and the glass is about half empty. It is already much fuller in the next shot. (00:09:20)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney talks her inexperienced assistance into a reckless climb, Nigel is leaning against he truck in the close-up, when he was not in the rest of the chat. (00:30:25)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Sydney and Nigel are talking with Robert Blaine at the beginning of the episode. When he mentions the Nepalese people there's a close-up on them. One student wearing a white T-shirt is walking up some steps - but in the next shot he is walking down other steps situated earlier in his path. A few seconds later, another flub with an extra; Nigel stops the museum curator just as an extra wearing white clothes enters the frame, but the person is gone in the sudden cut. (00:06:25)

Smoking Gun - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the prologue, Young Murray finds a man he does not know sitting at a table. He advances towards him in a wide shot of the room, and the man positions his left hand on the corner of the table, but in the following closer angle on him, his hands are close together exactly like in the initial shot by the same angle. It's like the middle one never happened. (00:03:10)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney Fox retrieves the parchment with the map, she holds it differently (probably turned 180°) between the close-up and the reverse shots. It also should be noted that the world-class archaeologist just casually dumps on the floor like a piece of garbage a ornate XVI century flask. (00:23:50)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Nigel wonders why prisoners write on walls. He moves the flashlight from the left hand to his right. When he walks back and the shot changes though, instantly it is back in his left. (00:22:10)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: Nigel accidentally (unconvincingly so) steps on the Beautiful Nun 's bathrobe in a close-up. His toothbrush hand is down his hip, in frame, but when they both gasp in a reaction shot, the toothbrush is between them. (00:17:30)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney receives the bowl from Buddha in the flesh (of course she would) her hands are under it, but in the next shot they touch the rim. (00:40:40)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When shirtless Nigel knocks some rocks off the Buddha's exterior, he leans back with both arms spread. In the next shot, Tia Carrere's arm crosses with his, but he was on his own, at distance from her. (00:27:10)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Nigel spots the skeleton inside the Buddha statue, in its close-up it is lit very differently compared to the rest of the scene. (00:29:30)
