Smallville

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: Just before Dr. Bryce removes the vial she unties the tourniquet and the straps are completely off of Clark's arm. In the shot of Clark after that, as Dr. Bryce looks at the vial, she unties the tourniquet again.

Heat - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Lana was making a video to send to Whitney, we see her interviewing Clark. We first see Clark through the camera's view finder. Lana then drops the camera (pointing it down) such that we see Clark's feet. Cut to a different angle but now Lana's is pointing the camera at Clark's chest level.

Ryan - S2-E8

Audio problem: After Ryan collapses at Lex's, he and Clark are talking while Ryan is in the hospital. In the shot of Clark as Ryan says "I know what's wrong with me." Ryan's mouth is visible and you can see that he is not speaking the line as we hear it.

Lineage - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lana shows Chloe the picture of her mother and Henry Small. We see that Chloe holds the picture on its bottom corners with both her hands. Cut to a close up of the picture but now she is holding it in the bottom middle of the picture. Cut back to the previous angle and she is holding it by the corners once again.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: When Clark is fighting with Dr. Walden, twice Dr. Walden sends Clark flying, with his powers. Both times, when Clark hits the ground, he becomes quite buried into the soft dirt, not entirely, but relatively sunken into it. However when it will cut to the next shot, Clark is lying on the dirt without being buried into it at all. This is obviously due to switches between actor and stunt double.

Vortex (2) - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Clark brings Lana to the hospital, a doctor attends to her and checks her vitals. In a close up we see the doctors right hand on Lana's neck checking her pulse and her left hand is no where in sight. Cut to a wider angle (as Clark runs away) but now the doctor is holding a flashlight in her right hand and her left hand is on Lana's forehead.

Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Clark and Lex were talking about Helena while playing billiards, Clark picks up the stripped blue ball. They then continue to talk as he plays with the ball in his hand. He then puts it back on the table allowing it to roll but now its has changed into the cue (white) ball and the stripped blue ball can be see in the foreground right next to the side pocket and a stripped red ball.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: The shot with Ian pulling Lana out of the car shows the shadow cast on the bridge covering half the road. A few seconds later, after Chloe gets free of the Ian that has her, the shadows on the bridge are much shorter.

Lineage - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lex comes to after being kidnapped by Rachel, she wipes his face with a piece of cloth using her right hand. She then transfers the cloth to her left hand and continues to wipe Lex's face. Cut to a different angle as she says "I bought it with the money your father gave me" but now the cloth is instantaneously back in her right hand.

Lineage - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: As Sheriff Ethan pulls up there is a reflection on his driver side window. You can see the police department shield on the door and the door handle reflected on the driver's side window. There were no other police cars there so it was probably reflected off a mirror used to help light the scene.

Nocturne - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: After Clark reads Lana's letter that she found, Pete gets up and sits on the couch next to Chloe. When Clark says "Sounds more like a stalker than a secret admirer." a shot of Pete has him sitting back over by Clark even though he was over by Chloe.

Nocturne - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Pete and Clark go to Byron's house to find him, Clark finds the hidden locked door to the cellar. Clark then breaks the locks and uses both his hands to pull on the door. Cut to a different angle (from above Clark) but now he is just using his left hand.

Vortex (2) - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Clark and Lex are searching for Clark's dad, right after Clark gets mad at Lex and leaves it shows a head shot of Lex with the bandage over his left eye. In the beginning of the show he was injured over his right eye. (00:15:30)

Joel Gordon

Heat - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene where Clark discusses Desiree with his parents, his hand shift from brushing over his glass to gripped around it. (00:28:15)

Phoenix

Heat - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Desiree walks into Clark's barn to work on their 'student-teacher relations', she holds her hair up with her right hand as she complains about the heat. She then lets her hair down and fixes it. Cut to a different angle and she is letting her hair down once again.

Heat - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: In Jail, when the sheriff tells Chloe and Lana that visiting time is over, we see Clark holding the bars with his left hand as he tells the girls that his dad went to see Desiree. Cut to a different angle (from inside the jail cell) but now Clark is no longer holding onto the bars and only holds them a few seconds later.

Nocturne - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: After Byron transforms, he pushes Pete through the windshield of an old car. The impact causes the front passenger door of the car to open. Yet later when Clark check up on Pete, the front passenger door is now closed.

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Visible crew/equipment: After Joseph gets locked out of the construction site, the worker, who locked him out, walks away. All the other workers at the site are gone, but when the shot returns to Joseph you can see the shoulder of someone standing between Joseph and the gate even though there should be nobody there.

Witness - S2-E20

Audio problem: After Clark is dumped into the blast furnace and the thieves make a getaway in their truck, you can hear the sound of an accelerating engine as it's driving away, but the brake lights are on.

More quotes from Smallville

Trivia: Clark always wears blue and red clothes (or at least one of these colors). No surprise that when he got his Superman costume, he chose those same colors.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
