The Bionic Woman

Show generally

Revealing mistake: Jamie prepares to split a giant heavy log in two, with her bionic arm, so that it will fit into her fireplace. Just as her arm comes down, you can see the middle seam where the log was pre-cut for the shot, so that it easily breaks in two. (00:00:30)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: Whenever Jaime uses her bionic arm to perform a fast action, her entire body - along with every surrounding object - speeds up too, making it obvious that the scene is simply being played in fast motion.

Show generally

Revealing mistake: When the senator and his wife are trapped under the rubble, she is holding a burning candle, it looks like there are flames coming from her thumb. An obvious reflection off either the camera lens or that the candle is safely inside a glass tube so that she doesn't burn her hand.

Jaime's Mother - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: When Jaime bends one of the headboard bars, one can tell it's fake because it has wrinkles and has a dull, matt gold colour, as opposed to the real, stiff shiny bars.

Fly Jaime - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: On the beach, Jaime stares at a flying plane, then the shot cuts to the plane. The problem is that shot was filmed behind a window that reflects on the footage. One can even see what looks like pens in the cameraman's pocket.

Mirror Image - S1-E13

Other mistake: Jamie, pretending to be Lisa, goes to the safe, and turns the dial with her bionic right hand, but the back and forth shots show her listening to the clicks with the same hand she dials with. (00:36:40)

The DeJon Caper - S2-E19

Trivia: When Jaime arrives at a small square in France, it's unmistakably the same location used to represent Germany in S2E12 and also Germany in S3E7. While it's common for TV shows to reuse sets, the reuse here is particularly blatant and hard to overlook.
