RoyT

Now or Never - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Amy picks up her book from the trash her thumb is on the front cover. When the camera cuts and she hands the book to her co-worker, her thumb is on the back cover.

RoyT

Green Light - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Hank is standing between the ATM and the pumps at the gas station, the shadow cast by the roof over the pumps shifts between shots. The shot from away, taken next to the pole with the Indian logo was taken earlier in the day, casting a long shadow. The other shots have a higher sun which has moved by several hours.

RoyT

Visible crew/equipment: When Frank enters his office a boom mike dips into view for a split second, when the camera pans away from his co-workers laughing about the American Superstar contestant.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Jim is talking to Kara at the end of the movie, her hair changes position with every shot. From covering her entire shoulder to not covering her shoulder at all.

RoyT

Treachery - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Jack is pouring Amanda a drink at the end of the episode he has a bottle in each hand. In the next shot he has only one, with his other hand holding the shaker.

RoyT

London Calling - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Alex is in the evidence room she has her arms folded in one shot and her hand instantly on the table in the next.

RoyT

The Lion Sleeps Tonight - S3-E3

Visible crew/equipment: While at the cemetery a reflector (to brighten the actors' faces) is regularly visible in the DA's glasses.

RoyT

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: Season 1, episode 17, "The Man at the Altar". When Annie is getting dressed after sleeping with Crowley, what she is wearing, how she is wearing it and where her arms are changes between each shot.

RoyT

Black Sox - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When the detectives are in pursuit in the alley, they are followed by a police car. In all shots from the front it has its blue lights on, while they are off in all shots from the rear.

RoyT

Code 4 - S3-E4

Audio problem: When detective Bryant gets rough while interrogating the suspect of the shooting he tells him to sit down. When we cut to a different angle we hear him repeat the last few words of his sentence.

RoyT

Other mistake: When Larry crosses the street, when going to the museum for the first time, the traffic light for pedestrians is red the entire time. Yet he and other pedestrians casually cross the street (he even stops for a bit) while the yellow cabs don't make any attempt at driving off (although their light should be green). Although there's a small gap between one light turning red and the other turning green, it takes close to 10 seconds while nobody appears to be in any rush.

RoyT

Dead or Alive - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Michael has his gun on the dirty cops head, the gun is resting on his forehead and Michaels hand is on his throat. In the next shot the gun is right between the cops eyes, and his hand is on his chest. This keeps going back and forth a few times.

RoyT

Blood Moon - S11-E3

Continuity mistake: When Nick is talking to Catherine about what happened at the night of the murder he folds his arms. In the next show they are unfolded. Although you can't see his arms entirely, it becomes clear from the position of his shoulders and the wrinkle in the middle of his shirt that instantly disappears.

RoyT

AK-51 - S1-E6

Audio problem: When Gemma is talking to Clay in jail there's a shot "en profil" in which we only see the silhouette of her face. When Clay sits down you can see she's saying something, while the only sound we hear is Clay exhaling.

RoyT

Shock Waves - S11-E1

Revealing mistake: When the bomber is shot in front of the store, he is standing in front of a shop window. It's highly unlikely that the window wouldn't get hit and shatter. The cops fire at least a couple of dozen rounds, and magically they all hit the body, nobody misses in the heat of the moment, and no bullets exit the body from the back.

RoyT

Doctor Who (1) - S10-E22

Revealing mistake: When Nick is in the shed in the desert, sunlight is coming in through hundreds of holes in the walls and roof. Since the sun is in one spot, all beams of light should be in the general same direction. In this scene they come from at least 5 different directions, with some originating from a light source very close to the outer wall (causing beams in a radial pattern).

RoyT

The Proof in the Pudding - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Booth is talking to his boss at the diner, the latter is chewing on his mouth full of food when shot from the right, and has an empty mouth when shot from the left. This happens every time the shot changes angles. (00:11:30)

RoyT

See-Through - S2-E4

Visible crew/equipment: As the camera pans to Dexter just before he jumps over the fence at the police station, the shadow of a boom mike is visible on the white wall.

RoyT

See-Through - S2-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When the wife of one of the victims invites Angel in, the silhouette of a camera man is reflected in the door when she closes it.

RoyT

Blackmail - S20-E12

Continuity mistake: Bernard puts down his sandwich in the house of the woman being blackmailed, after she tells him "no more sandwiches for you". Ten seconds later it's back in his hand, and put down again.

RoyT

Truth Be Told - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Rudy has Debra in a headlock on the yacht, his left hand continuously moves between shots from on her head to gesturing in the air.

RoyT

Visible crew/equipment: When Cage exits his office building on Christmas Eve, the reflection of a boom mic is visible in the revolving doors.

RoyT

Human Flesh Search Engine - S20-E6

Character mistake: When Bernard reads a line on a website out loud he says "somebody needs to kill him". At the same time we see a close up of the website, which says "somebody should kill him".

RoyT

Cloak - S6-E8

Plot hole: Season 6, episode 8 ("Cloak"). When Ziva and Tony take the elevator two floors down this takes a full minute. When in a hurry for a call it speeds down, yet for this conversation it (conveniently) took a minute.

RoyT

Point of No Return - S5-E18

Revealing mistake: Season 5, episode 18 "Point of No Return": When Danny fires at the bad guy, there are sparks coming from the metal pipes when his bullets hit them. One of the things causing the sparks burns too slowly, taking over a second before it fades out.

RoyT

Point of No Return - S5-E18

Audio problem: Season 5, episode 18 "Point of No Return": When Hawkes is talking to Mac about the fibers he found, there's a brief shot of his silhouette in which his lips don't move while talking.

RoyT

Do No Harm - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: The drawing little Jack made was reproduced on a printer; it has a perfect 1cm white border around the drawing.

RoyT

Green Piece - S5-E17

Audio problem: Season 5, episode 17 "Green Piece": When Stella is typing on the Apple keyboard she hardly lifts her fingers from the keys, yet we hear a loud clicking sound. That type of keyboard doesn't make that kind of sound, unless you pound the keys with great force. Also, the clicking sounds don't match up with her keystrokes.

RoyT

Sugar - S11-E2

Factual error: When tracing the "Master Baiter" the detective says she can't trace the subject because "the HTML code is scrambled". There is no such thing as scrambled HTML, and on top of that HTML can never give away any information about a subject's location. Also, she can't get his IP address because it constantly changes. Yet, she does know from what exact wifi-spot he connected. If you get random IP-addresses, for instance by using random proxy servers, you can't pinpoint a location (which was of course why he used this technique).

RoyT

Bad Blood - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ricky leaves Michael's apartment he has the envelope with money in his left hand. When the shot changes, we instantly see him walking away empty handed, with the envelope lying on the table.

RoyT

Bad Blood - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Victor is opening the padlock, sparks fly around in close ups. In the wide angle shots there are no sparks at all.

RoyT

Scatter Point - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When Sam pops open the cabinet with the wire he will later cut, you can see that the wire was cut and glued together again. When Sam cuts the wire some time later, it's in perfect condition. The taping was probably done in reverse order.

RoyT

Show generally

Continuity mistake: This basically happens in nearly every episode. Whenever Michael's mom is smoking, which she does a lot, her cigarette and smoke change size and position with every shot. Although it's hard to keep a cigarette burning the same way with each take, it seems as if no attempt was made at all.

RoyT

Trust Me - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Barry, Barry's hands change position with each shot. On the table, folded together, holding his glass, etc.

RoyT

Show generally

Factual error: Whenever someone uses an iPhone (which is the phone of choice on CSI:NY), the screen stays lit when talking on the phone. The iPhone has a sensor which dims the screen when you put it to your ear, but only if you're actually making a call.

RoyT

The Party's Over - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: Season 5, episode 15 ("The Party's Over). After Mac talks to Dunbrook in the park, the latter walks away with a cup of coffee in his right hand. When the shot changes, his cup is instantly gone.

RoyT

Loose Ends (2) - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Michael is on the phone with the heroin dealer at the docks, he has his phone at his left ear. When the camera moves to a shot from the back, there's no phone near his face (or in the frame for that matter) and his mouth doesn't move while talking. When the shot cuts back, the phone instantly is back at his ear.

RoyT

Loose Ends (2) - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the heroin importer is questioning Sam, he has his hand around his face, with his fingers touching his ear. When the shot moves to the front, his hand is more on his throat and nowhere near his ear. When we cut to the back, his hand moves again.

RoyT

Suck 'n' Spit - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When Shane is on the couch eating, his spoon goes from beside the bowl to inside the bowl when the shot changes.

RoyT

Hard Bargain - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Michael drives away at the end of the first scene, you can see a boom mic reflected on the car's surface.

RoyT

Hard Bargain - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When the kidnapper holds Michael at gunpoint on the balcony, his hand holding the gun is shaking. In the next shot, from behind, his hand is perfectly still. The shot then switches back, and his hand is shaking again.

RoyT

False Flag - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Evelyn she picks up her glass and brings it to her mouth. When switching to a different angle her glass is back on the table, and she has her hands on her lap.

RoyT

The Lost Heir Job - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the final scene the camera switches between shots from the front and from the back repeatedly. Parker's arms are folded when shot from the back, and by her sides from the front (and vice versa).

RoyT

The Ice Man Job - S2-E8

Audio problem: When Hardison is talking to Carrey, just after he names his price ("30%"), there is a shot from a strange angle in which we hear Hardison talk while his mouth doesn't move at all.

RoyT

Wanted Man - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Michael is eating his slush, the way he holds his cup changes between shots.

RoyT

A Distinctive Horn - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Audra is talking to Andy outside of the clinic, everything about her cigarette changes between shots (position, smoke, etc).

RoyT

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Walter, the art dealer, the latter has his hands folded together. In the next shot he has one hand on his lap and the other on the table. (00:35:20)

RoyT

Van Nuys - S5-E5

Other mistake: When Andy pulls his piece of meat out of the fondue pot it hasn't been cooked at all. The fondue obviously hasn't been turned on (in the next shot he sticks some meat in his mouth, which has been cooked and is smaller).

RoyT

Super Lucky Happy - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Roy Till and Ignacio are bound to the bed by Nancy, the black ties around Ignacio's left wrist keep changing places between shots.

RoyT

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Just after Michael throws his mothers cigarette out of the car, there is a shot from the inside through the front window. There is a large crack in the glass, bottom left of the rear view mirror. When the car is shot from the front, there's no crack. (00:24:30)

RoyT

Van Nuys - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Silas is painting the wall green, some parts jump from being painted to unpainted between shots.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: Somewhere during the car chase scene, one of the rear lights of the delivery van breaks. After that it magically fixes itself in some shots.

RoyT

Other mistake: When Blart and the SWAT guy are pursuing the bad guy, they have a blue police light on top of the car (the magnetic kind). Interior views of the car show blue flashes on their faces, which is impossible with the light being on the roof. The exterior shots confirm that the inside of the car is completely dark. (01:21:30)

RoyT

Art Imitates Life - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: Season 9, episode 3 "Art Imitates Life": When J. Skaggs is being interrogated by Brass he has his hands on his lap. In the next shot they are both on the table.

RoyT

Forbidden Fruit - S5-E11

Audio problem: When Sid hands Mac the test tube with the metal splinter, Mac says "Looks metallic". There is a full frontal shot of Mac's face, and his mouth doesn't move.

RoyT

My Name is Mac Taylor - S5-E8

Plot hole: At the end of the episode, Adam and Stella are checking how many others there are bearing the same name in a government database. "Stella Bonasera" gives one result, being the Bonasera character. A search for "Sid Hammerback" also gives one result, a 90 year old woman (the characters say it has to be his mother). But Sid himself should have shown up too, with the search yielding two results, not just one.

RoyT

My Name is Mac Taylor - S5-E8

Revealing mistake: Season 5, episode 8, "My Name is Mac Taylor": When the killer sets himself on fire, he's not wearing any gloves. In the next shot he is, to protect the stuntman from the flames.

RoyT

Sex, Lies, And Silicone - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: After Hawkes pats his old friend on the shoulder with the newspaper in front of the hotdog stall, there is a brief shot in which Hawkes is empty handed. In the next shot he's holding the newspaper again.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When the police dog wants to attack Swagger and bites the cop instead, it's obvious the cop wears thick protection under his coat sleeve. (01:03:20)

RoyT

Factual error: In the movie the poles which houses are built on are situated in the water; one could swim between the poles. That's totally impossible: the poles are drilled in very wet sand (to be compared to a swamp) and you can't reach them from the canals in any way.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Michael runs away to get the kite up in the air, his shadow doesn't match that of James in several shots.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When doing the song with the "towel costume" in L.A. they put their microphones in their costumes. With one of them it's first sticking out quite a bit, while in the next shot only the head of the microphone sticks out. (00:18:20)

RoyT

Continuity mistake: While in the parking lot you can see Connie and Carla entirely when shot from the front. When they run away the gap they were looking through is so small only their faces would have been visible from the front. In addition the wall when shown from the front comes only up to their stomachs, but when they run way the wall is higher than they are. (00:05:40)

RoyT

Continuity mistake: While driving to L.A. the mustard stain on Connie's face changes position and shape. (00:09:45)

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When the two FBI agents are thrown out of the car, you can see they are clearly wearing body armour under their clothing just for the purpose of breaking the fall. They look "fat" mainly on their torso because of the padding.

RoyT

Audio problem: When the terrorist is talking to his shrink on the beach, you can hear the shrink talking while being filmed from the back, while his jaws are not moving.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When the terrorist is talking to his shrink on the beach, the shrink looks to the side in the front view and straight forward in the back view several times.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: In the final tennis scene the shadows change direction with practically every shot.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Goldblum parks the car when having a flat tire, it's further away from the white line on the road than when he's changing the tire.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When G. first meets Kate and Ricky the stains on his shirt change during the conversation.

RoyT

Other mistake: When Jerry buys "The Catcher in the Rye," the cover is upside down. When facing the front cover, the spine of the book is on the right side, instead of the left.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Jeffrey is on the phone, he is holding the phone by his ear in the front view, while in the shot of his back there is no phone by his ear.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: In the scene with the motorcycle riding on its rear tire, skid marks can be seen from previous takes.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Dashiki is writing the poem, all things on the table move and her pen changes from blue to yellow between shots.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When taking the driving test Ashtray is driving down a street with on the left a parked white RV. After making a left turn, we see through the rear window he's driving down the same street.

RoyT

Cross-Jurisdictions - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When Catherine walks up the stairs, Horatio Caine aims his gun upwards. In the next shot he has his arms down. (00:36:10)

RoyT

Evaluation Day - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Warrick pulls the piece of clothing from the toilet, the amount of water and dirt in the bowl changes between each shot. (00:14:00)

RoyT

$35K O.B.O. - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: In one shot Grissom puts a shoe on its side with a pencil. In the next shot the shoe is upright again.

RoyT

Factual error: In the "Berlin intro" with all the German images, a plate can be seen with the text "automatische afsluiting" (automatic closure), which is not German but Dutch. (00:43:45)

RoyT

Factual error: Amsterdam doesn't resemble the "real" Amsterdam at all, including the infamous Red Light District. When walking alongside the highway, it's clear that it's not a Dutch highway. The supposedly Dutch characters speak with an Eastern European accent, because the "Dutch" scenes were shot in Prague, the Czech Republic.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When Austin lowers himself in the jacuzzi you can see he's not naked but wearing flesh coloured swimming pants. (00:44:40)

RoyT

Revealing mistake: Multiple times during the movie, specially during the chase scene towards the end, skid marks can be seen from previous takes which match the car's actions perfectly. (00:17:10)

RoyT

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Rennie drives to the "Towers Motel" in the exterior shot the car is casting a shadow to it's left. In the next shot (interior view), the trees standing outside cast a shadow to their right.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When the kids are running through the cornfield, how can it be they cast two shadows? At night in no mans land there is only one light source, the moon (and even the moon wouldn't shine so bright). (01:06:40)

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When the lid of the oil drum with the dead body in it is lifted, the exterior view shows a hole in the lid, yet the interior shot shows no hole at all.

RoyT

Other mistake: When the bad guy is sliding down the tube and there is a close up of his face, it's constantly lit. There couldn't have been any light in the tube, since it's completely closed.

RoyT

Plot hole: When Carl is stuffed in the oil drum, he's making lots of noise and strugling to get out. Yet one of the bad guys can keep the lid closed with one hand laying flat on top. Carl could have lifted it up with ease.

RoyT

Factual error: The lights and siren of a police car don't go on when starting the engine. They are turned on and off separately from the engine.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: In the exterior shot of the appartment where James and Louis are at stake out, the inside of the apartment is dark. When switching to the interior shot, the room is well lit.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: The shadows in the locker room aren't natural. With a few light on the ceiling and one window, you don't get as much shadows as in that scene.

RoyT

Revealing mistake: When Louis picks up the dead body next to the garbage truck, you can see the dead body working to get a grip on the floor, making it easier to pick him up.

RoyT

Audio problem: On the swamp boat there is a shot of the boat taken from a distance, but still you can see that Kabul's mouth is not moving for a second when he speaks.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: Dick removes some lid from the bottom of the bus so he can stick his legs out to reach the road. In the next shot when the bus is flying "Speed"-like there is no hole to be seen.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Dick is braking the bus with his feet, lots of sparks come from his shoes. When the shot changes to an outdoor view of the bus, there are no sparks to be seen underneath the bus.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: In the final scene, when Antoine gets back, Deuce's shirt is very sweaty because of his running, while less than a minute later it is half as wet.

RoyT

Continuity mistake: When Stifler is in the linen closet it is completely dark. Finch and friend open the door and the closet is lit. After that they close the door, but the inside of the door remains lit. When the shot changes to the other side, the closet is completely dark again, without a source to light the inside of the door.

RoyT
