Revealing mistake: In The Beginning of the episode two frogmen jump into the water from the boat. The boat is supposedly out in the Pacific Ocean, but in the lower left corner you can see a harbor in the background.
Hell Money - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: Mulder and Scully are standing behind the torso of a corpse being investigated. Despite being dead, the victim is breathing. (00:17:20)
Other mistake: The FBI crest outside the main FBI building is incorrect as it has the words UNITED STATES BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION on it instead of FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
Continuity mistake: When the prostitute, Holly MacClaine, is first murdered, we see her face up. The next morning, when the police are at the crime scene, we see her face down.
Continuity mistake: When Mulder breaks into the boat, the door shuts, but in the next shot it's wide open. Shot after that, it's closed again.
Factual error: In the opening scene it says it takes place in West Virginia, as the Army unit executes the hybrids, you can see their unit patch on their left shoulder. The patch is a diamond shape with a sunburst in the middle, this is the patch of the 40th Infantry Division of the California Army National Guard.
Continuity mistake: The glass in the picture of Ryan Reynolds cracks as the casket is starting to catch fire. In one shot, which is wider, the glass has fixed itself. Cut to a closeup, the glass is broken again.
Revelations - S3-E11
Visible crew/equipment: The camera and its operator are visible in a piece of metal on the back of the ambulance, when the mother is taken away after the accident.
Character mistake: Pusher says that he read in Scully's files that she had shot Mulder, although after Pusher's visit in the Computer Records Office Skinner says that Pusher checked only Mulder's files. (00:40:15)
Revealing mistake: In the opening sequence, a man who is hallucinating badly is apprehended by the police. They find a dead blonde woman in the trunk of the man's car. In a close-up of the dead woman, all the dried blood on her face is an added digital effect; however, the dried blood "drifts" around, seemingly out-of-sync with the video. Similar "drifting" digital effect problems are seen in other X-Files episodes.
Revealing mistake: As Dana Scully is examining the dead woman found in bed with Skinner, she observes a strange luminescent glow on the woman's nose and lips. It's apparent that this glow was added digitally; but the digital effect is "drifting" around the dead woman's face, seemingly out of sync with the video. Similar "drifting" digital effect problems are seen in other X-Files episodes.
Factual error: Skinner says that he could not print the file. However, Scully somehow must have been able to print it in order to give a hard copy to Albert Holsteen for his translation. (00:26:35)
Chosen answer: Yes.
