Redux II (3) - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: Although the subtitle states 12:00 AM, Mulder's watch hands mark 02:35. (00:43:16 - 00:43:39)
Other mistake: Mulder pulls in to park in front of a red car. The front plate on both Mulder's and the red car is the same: 5S2 706. (00:27:37)
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - S3-E4
Character mistake: Clyde Bruckman says that the Big Bopper won a coin toss that put him on the plane that crashed and killed him along with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. The person who actually won the coin toss was Ritchie Valens.
Character mistake: Scully continually addresses the senior police officer as "Captain." But he wears sergeant's stripes. As a law enforcement officer continually dealing with other law enforcement officers, Scully is not likely to make this mistake. More likely a failure to match script with costume.
Continuity mistake: In the first footage of the episode we can see that the ambulance's lower right lamp is off. However, at the moment of the crash it is on. Not to mention that the Chevrolet logo, previously seen at the ambulance front, has vanished. We conclude it is not the same vehicle. (00:00:10 - 00:01:06)
Factual error: In the footage's right-hand side, we can see the Church of the Covenant's facade, which is located at East 42nd St. New York. However, the subtitle erroneously states 46th St. (00:09:40)
Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Continuity mistake: When the military man approaches the Cancer Man we can see at the background the helicopter's left-hand side. When they move towards the helicopter, now closer to them, we see its right-hand side. (00:40:14)
Factual error: A 747 jumbo jet is shown in the first scene of the episode. Later we can see the aircraft cabin with a 3X3 seat configuration. However, there is no 747 with such layout. (00:01:40)
Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Other mistake: Immediately after a shot has been heard, Mulder, who is in flat #42, grabs his gun and rushes through the corridor passing by flat #47, which means he is still on the same floor. Within 10 seconds after the shot, the next-door lady is already aware of the crime. Not mentioning that 2 seconds later two policemen arrive at the scene. (00:07:21)
The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat - S11-E4
Continuity mistake: When the camera shows Reggie Something from behind, he is shaking his head. However, after the cut, his head is static. (00:17:20)
Continuity mistake: The remote control, close to the TV, changes position in between shots near the start. (00:05:03 - 00:05:29)
Continuity mistake: Both the X-ray image and Mulder's statement suggest that the letter opener has penetrated Dr. Sanjay's head at an acute angle. However, during the autopsy, Scully removes the object as if it had been shoved horizontally. The latter position is confirmed by the suicide scene itself at the start of the episode. (00:08:25 - 00:10:10)
Continuity mistake: Soon after Dr. Sanjay falls, the blood flows down his cheek. However, when Mulder examines the scene, Dr. Sanjay's cheek is clean and the blood spot is on his forehead. (00:03:37 - 00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: The pencil on Dr Sanjay's folder is in a different position when the footage is taken from behind him. (00:02:24)
Continuity mistake: When Chuck Burks is analyzing the pottery, we can see that one of the pieces has a broken edge. Seconds later, the image shows the piece of pottery with the border preserved. (00:17:12 - 00:18:17)
Continuity mistake: Near The End of the episode, Mulder is reviewing black-and-white photos of The Jersey Devil. A wedding ring is visible on The Jersey Devil's left hand in the photo. Earlier in the episode, she is not wearing the ring.
Factual error: A number of episodes show trolleybuses operating in American cities that do not use them (including Washington). Vancouver, where the series was filmed, however, does use them.
Visible crew/equipment: When the tiger is on the loose it prowls around a building site and there is a shot where you can see the animal trainer calling the tiger right to him. (00:23:56)
Revealing mistake: When Mulder and Scully are talking to Theresa at the diner she suddenly gets a nosebleed. If you look closely at her forehead/nose you can see the flesh coloured tube that pumps the blood. (00:33:20)
Via Negativa - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: At The Beginning of the scene, there is only what seems to be a remote control on the left-hand side of the TV. Five seconds later, a couple of VHS tape cases appear where the remote control was before. (00:08:46)
Answer: He was being facetious. He doesn't specifically know that information, he was merely giving examples of the types of information he has access to.
I think so too.
