A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11

Factual error: When the second earthquake happens, certainly we would see evidence of the water shaking but the water is calm. In a real earthquake, the water would be sloshing around.

Revealing mistake: The scene with Beethoven in bed with George features a person in a dog suit. It's most obvious when the dog turns around in the sheets and has its mouth wide open. It's obviously not a real dog until the closer shots.

Revealing mistake: Multiple times during the final chase, tire marks on roadways are visible where multiple takes of the stunts happened.

Continuity mistake: After the pimp is killed, Harry and his partner follow a couple of cars across the Golden Gate Bridge back toward the crime scene. The sky changes between shots of the vehicles.

Continuity mistake: The scenes at the quarry were obviously filmed on different days. When the kid is being held hostage, the sky in the background is different from what it was minutes ago.

manthabeat ★

Other mistake: Due to the way the opening titles were created, likely with an optical printer on plastic or glass, dust or other particles are very visible when they fade into the shot.

Visible crew/equipment: Viking's goons head to Coxman's house and step out of their vehicles. In the front vehicle, the camera is reflected in the glass of the driver's side door. It lingers there for a time.

Factual error: It's a hard winter everywhere is film except in the scenes that take place in Denver. In one scene when Coxman kidnaps Viking's son, there are full leaves on trees and cherry blossoms. Moments prior there's a frozen tundra shot coming into Denver.

Revealing mistake: When the three-wheeled vehicle hits the dozer and explodes, the dozer driver isn't even in the vehicle.

manthabeat ★

Visible crew/equipment: When the big dozer is chasing the cooks, we see the driver. A perfect reflection of the camera is visible in the glass.

Revealing mistake: When the boys shoot the flaming arrows at the workers tent, it's painfully obvious they land in spots covered in fuel.

Visible crew/equipment: When the kids slam the bus window down on Ernest's fingers, we see a shot inside. The camera is reflected in the window.

Diverged - S10-E21

Continuity mistake: The hole in the wall Carol makes with the knife grows, depending on what angle we see it from.

manthabeat ★

Revealing mistake: During the opening chase, as the truck driver is hitting vehicles, there is a front on shot. The stunt driver is visible. It's not the regular driver we just saw.

Visible crew/equipment: When Foley is released from the cell, he is taken to see Rosewood and Taggart. The camera tracks through the police station and it is visible reflected in the glass.

manthabeat ★

Revealing mistake: During the scene in the woods with the communication machine, Elliot tells E.T. that they need to go. You see the machine still working at a regular interval because a rope is pulling it. The shot pans to the left a touch and the rope stops moving, as if the person pulling it realises it's no longer in the shot.

Find Me - S10-E18

Continuity mistake: Daryl and Carol are walking to an abandoned home. Carol walks by a bush with bright sunlight coming from the left of the shot. The angle changes and it's overcast with no sun. Then we see Daryl again and it's once again sunny.

Continuity mistake: When King Akeem is training his son to take the whiskers off a sleeping lion, they are up in a platform. In the angle looking at the son, a fan is causing a shadow on Akeem's shoulders. In the opposite angle it is not visible.
