Continuity mistake: After Ross decides to go after Rachel, in the overhead shot all four of the cab's doors are closed, but when it cuts to Ross and Phoebe getting in and shutting their front doors suddenly both back passenger doors are inexplicably wide open, then when Ross shouts about missing seatbelts both back doors are closed again. Then when the guy gets into the back seat he shuts his door, but when he asks for the medallion number both back doors are open, and then they're closed again.

Visible crew/equipment: After Rachel announces that Phoebe and Joey will perform something, Phoebe asks Joey if he'll be nervous because he has nothing prepared, and when Joey replies that he does it every day with three cameras pointed at him, it's perfect timing that in the next shot we can see filming equipment at the right side of the screen.

The One With Ross' New Girlfriend - S2-E1
Deliberate mistake: The door to Monica's bedroom is open in many shots, such as when Ross introduces Julie, and we can see that there's a wall (with a framed picture) directly opposite the doorway, but when Phoebe's giving Monica the haircut they're in Monica's bedroom and there's no such wall in front of the door.

The One With Ross' New Girlfriend - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: At the end, when Rachel and Ross are talking on Monica and Rachel's balcony, the edge of the "brick" wall behind them has a gap in it. The facade is obviously a thin plastic sheet made to look like bricks and mortar, and it has pulled away from the surface it is attached to.
