Continuity mistake: Just after Doyle's car hits the sand-filled barrels, in the shot facing Gavin in his car, Doyle is seen in the background having removed his seatbelt, but in Doyle's next close-up he is still buckled and proceeds to remove the seatbelt again. (00:08:15)

Revealing mistake: On the FDR, when Doyle tries to thumb a ride in the rain, the only vehicle using wipers in the 'downpour' is the one that passes Doyle. All the other vehicles in the background driving northbound on the dry FDR are not, and in fact driving beyond the reach of the crew's artificial rain in the foreground. (00:10:30)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Gavin and Doyle's collision, when Gavin is on his cell and says, "Tell them I'm on the steps," in the next shot as the car passes behind Doyle and Gavin, the boom and mic are reflected on the car's surface. (00:09:15)

Continuity mistake: When Doyle's car hits the sand-filled barrels, the front tire has a rather small hubcap and the back tire's hubcap is a different style and quite larger. A moment later, when Doyle inspects the damage to the car, in the close-up the front tire now sports an identical hubcap to the back tire. (00:08:20)

Deliberate mistake: When Finch is attempting to turn Doyle Gipson's credit back on, one close-up focuses on the framed photo and pans out to Finch's hands on the keyboard. This shot is flipped, note his wedding band and the mouse have switched sides. (00:52:20)

Continuity mistake: When Doyle and Gavin collide on the FDR, Doyle's car hits the sand-filled barrels and ends up at the center of the chevron stripes on the median island, as seen in the overhead shot. When Gavin has the second accident, he walks over to Doyle's disabled car which is now at the right of the chevron stripes, closer to the exit ramp. (00:08:20 - 01:02:50)
