Revealing mistake: When Bluto first watches the sorority girls on his ladder, he moves to the left screen. As he is moving the ladder, the curtain in front moves too. The glass pane is not present, likely to prevent reflection of the camera.

Revealing mistake: When Clouseau is floating out of his apartment in his costume, in several shots you can see the shadows of the chimney behind him in the sky, indicating this was shot in a studio.

Revealing mistake: The scene with one of the girls in the Pi house undressing on the TV was filmed with a handheld camera. Lewis tells Lamar to pan the scene right which it does. Cut to the scene of the woman undressing and the scene is shaking, like someone is holding the camera. These should be stationary shots. We even see the camera that is filming the shot and it's strapped down with a periscope.

Piano Man - November 10, 1985 - S3-E15

Revealing mistake: When Sam is driving the truck through the fog/smoke, Al tells Gooshie to center him on Lorraine but Al doesn't jump out. The shot cuts to a front view of the fog. The road noticeably jumps forward because there is a dissolve transition in this shot, even thought its the same angle. It's likely it was done to lengthen the shot.

Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: As the smoking man sits on a bench after finding out his story was rewritten, there are mountains visible in the background. Atop one of the buildings in the background is a Canadian flag waving in the wind. This show was shot in Vancouver, but is set in Washington D.C. There are no tall mountains that close to D.C.

Runaway - July 4, 1964 - S3-E11

A Little Miracle - December 24, 1962 - S3-E10

Revealing mistake: The fractal of the star stops at a point just below the top of the frame, when in reality it should keep going. This gives away that the star is superimposed over the shot. Oddly enough, when it starts snowing, the effect looks normal.

A Little Miracle - December 24, 1962 - S3-E10

Revealing mistake: The video image over the building that Al shows Michael Blake is placed incorrectly. The edge of the effect is blatantly visible. This effect is corrected later when Blake asks to see the plaza again and the name is changed.

Revealing mistake: When Axel is jumping from car to car on the spider ride, he just about falls. There is a shot looking down as some people try to help him. It's painfully obvious that it's a stunt man. He looks a lot different from Eddie Murphy.
