The Killer - S1-E1

The Killer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jim picks up the box with the mission briefing, his hand in the close-up of the fisherman's case is at the bottom of the box, but it's on the opposite side when we see Peter Graves retrieve it. (00:07:00)

The Killer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, The Killer (John de Lancie) strikes. He is holding the champagne flute with the middle finger curled between the hand and the belly of the glass, but in close-up the finger is at a right angle in front of the stem. (00:01:55)

The Killer - S1-E1

Other mistake: We are of course not privy to the protocol of the secret service organization Jim Phelps is a member of; however, while he is at his own place choosing at his leisure the team members, Jim to pick Nicholas types "KJ" on the laptop, to pick Casey he types "PK", then to pick Max and Grant he just clicks a TV remote. Whatever system they are using, does not seem to make any internal sense.
