Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum - S3-E6

Factual error: When the Russian requests the cherry flavor and refuses to talk, he gets thrown out. At the back is an oil drum from the French energy company "Total." However that logo was introduced only in the mid 2000s. (00:11:55)

Chapter Seven: The Bite - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning the band the camera pans by is totally different from the one standing behind the mayor later on. For one there are no more clarinet players, a cymbal player suddenly appears right behind where the mayor stands and the drummers are 3 totally different boys, with the 3rd from the right missing his glasses suddenly and the second drummer being much shorter. (00:00:40 - 00:01:15)

Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt - S3-E8

Factual error: Because of the way radios work, when Suzie and Dustin are singing their duet they wouldn't be able to hear each other and the rest of the party would only hear a garbled mess. Per frequency only one radio should transmit at each time, so all the others can receive. If multiple radios are transmitting simultaneously, the signals will overlap and result in unintelligible noise. (00:35:53)

Chapter Seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab - S4-E7

Plot hole: The upside down should be mirrored, i.e. all left is right and right is left. When the team finds a gateway where Chrissy died, they should be seeing a mirror image through the ceiling. Also, all buildings should have been reversed. Directions to get there on the bike would have been confusing and reversed, and when any writing was seen in the upside down, it would have been backward.

Chapter Eight: Papa - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Eleven makes the helicopter fall from the sky and blow up some army vehicles. Within a cut, it's much earlier in the day as the sun is right above her. Prior to this, it was lower in the sky and returns that way as she and the rest of the crew are driving away.

Answer: They're both muscle cars, but that's about the extent of the similarities. But the 70's were filled with a lot of muscle cars, so some car models may look a bit like another's. Billy's car is a late 70's Chevy Camaro (probably a ‘79). Mad Max's car is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT. Incidentally, the Ford Falcon was produced by Ford Australia and wasn't an American car, or even sold in America (as in not sold at dealerships).
