Phoenix

Chosen - S7-E22

Revealing mistake: Early in the final fight, Vi makes a flying kick to knock an Ubervamp off the cliff. As she lands, she swings back and twists slightly, suspiciously like one would do if suspended on a wire. There is no way she could gain this motion by kicking straight off the vamp as shown. (00:29:00)

Phoenix

Witch - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: The edges of Cordelia's solid white contacts can be seen after she is blinded. (00:20:00)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: Max jumps onto the dumpster behind the office and up to a window. Both times she is replaced by someone with a very different hairstyle: short instead of merely held up (slowmo helps). (00:20:50)

Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: When Max knocks Darius down in the projection theater, he lands against the door. The entire door and frame shake with the force, but he barely touches it. (00:37:25)

Phoenix

Flushed - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Logan goes looking for Max at Jam Pony, as he starts talking to Normal there is a woman in a blue jacket with a black-and-yellow bike helmet walking behind him. She travels past the group and can be seen heading for the lockers behind OC and Sketchy. After Normal says, "I can't help you," the same woman walks behind Logan again, going the same direction. (00:16:55)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: In the windmill, Ash slips and flips into a handstand. The harness can be seen pulling away from his butt. (00:33:50)

Phoenix

Dichotic - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: When we see Ian split, his two selves are supposed to be looking directly at each other but they're really both looking slightly to the right. It's hard to focus when there's really nothing there. (00:15:45)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: During Ash's fistfight with Henrietta near the end, the blade of the chainsaw can be seen flopping like rubber. (01:12:10)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: As Ash is duct-taping his sleeve shut after he cuts off his hand, you can see the impression of his largest knuckles and first two fingers under the cloth. (00:31:45)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: When Ash is exploring the basement, he only has a lantern that would cast a flickering yellow light for illumination. Instead, all of the basement is lit with strong, steady white light, awfully like stage lights... (00:13:35)

Phoenix

Kinetic - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: If you watch Clark splitting wood in slow-mo, the wood actually splits before he touches it. (00:07:35)

Phoenix

Rogue - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: The Smallville Torch that Clark looks at online is the exact same one last seen by Lex two episodes ago in "Craving." This wouldn't be a problem, but Clark remarks that this Torch is "another scathing editorial," indicating that it is new, and Principal Kwan complains that parents have been calling all morning, which means that this issue of the Torch was published either this day or the day before. Prop department must have been saving money. (00:08:40)

Phoenix

Rogue - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: Clark hoists some heavy equipment in the barn early in the episode. The chain he is pulling on has a good deal of slack in it, meaning that the load is being lifted by something other than it. (00:05:30)

Phoenix

Jitters - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: In the early scene with the baby, there are a few overhead shots of the parents and child. It is clear that in these shots a fake baby was used - he is completely motionless, even though he was moving arms and legs before and after and is crying. (00:02:00 - 00:03:15)

Phoenix

Gone - S6-E11

Revealing mistake: The entire time invisible Buffy is on Spike's bed, she makes absolutely no impression on the mattress and sheet underneath her. (00:29:55)

Phoenix

Once More, With Feeling - S6-E7

Revealing mistake: The knives Giles throws during Buffy's training are a very poor CGI job if you watch it in slow mo. All three knives Giles takes off the wall are identical, with a broad curved blade and a plain black handle. The first one has a transparent blade as it flies toward Buffy, then we hear it bounce off the far wall and it's way out of scale for the distance. The second knife has a diamond-patterned grip instead of a plain one. The third knife conveniently spins in midair for a second so Buffy can kick it out of the way. (00:30:35)

Phoenix

Life Serial - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: The entire scene where Buffy is experiencing accelerated time, shadows of trees move in the wind but never actually grow or shrink. Even over short increments of time, the sun can move shadows noticeably, and judging from the speed of the people around her, Buffy is in accelerated time for at least half an hour. (00:08:25)

Phoenix

Flooded - S6-E4

Revealing mistake: Near the end, the TV behind Andrew shows the periscope's view, but it doesn't match the movements he makes with it. (00:36:25)

Phoenix

Destiny (2) - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: Throughout the scene where Max interrogates Pierce, the projector changes slides at irregular intervals with no one touching it. (00:22:50)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: The closing shot is obviously on a matte painting - the perspective on the ziggurat's corners is off. (01:42:15)
