4:00 A.M.-5:00 A.M. - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The clock just tells the viewer that it is 4:40am. Sen. Palmer interrogates his son about the rape of his daughter. In the room, there is a clock that shows 4:57am instead. (00:27:43)

Suggested correction: This is an alarm clock. Some people simply have a clock set a few minutes fast, so that they get an extra few minutes. Not really a mistake.

Day 5: 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM - S5-E19

Factual error: When Chloe is at Bill's, she brings up the details of the diplomatic flight, and it shows the aircraft as a Boeing 757-200. This is a twin-engine aircraft, but the one shown is a tri-jet.

Day 6: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S6-E3

Visible crew/equipment: After Tom tells President Palmer that Sandra has been arrested, when it cuts to the interior shot inside the car with Agent Samuels in the front passenger seat, the camera pans toward the rear passenger window showing all the protesters outside. In this shot there's a reflection of the camera operator's leg, wearing shorts, white socks and sneakers, and who is sitting where Sandra should be.

Day 6: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the previous episode (approx 11:59 AM), Jack and Phillip are chained at the back of the van, and in the closeup Jack's handcuff double bar faces up on his right wrist. This moment is shown in the recap at the start of this episode. When the van reaches the dump site (approx 12:07 PM), Jack and Phillip are unchained and now Jack's handcuff single bar faces up on his right wrist. (00:01:55 - 00:07:55)

Day 4: 1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: At the very end of Episode 18, Jack knocks out Joe Prado after breaking his thumb and getting information from him. At the very beginning of Episode 19, we see Prado already being treated for his injuries, with a hand splint, and nurses checking his head, within the CTU clinic. Even if you factor in the opening recap sequence at the beginning of every episode, that means that Joe Prado regained consciousness, Jack unhooked his handcuffs, and dragged him back to CTU in three minutes or less.

Andre Drazen: If Plan A fails you go to Plan B, not Plan A recycled.
