The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: After the steward releases the gas on the jet everyone passes out, and in the second exterior shot of the jet as it rocks from side to side, we can see the circular frame of the window from which the jet was being filmed, at the bottom right corner of the screen (this shot is flipped).

Super Grover

Anschluss '77 - S2-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Joe Atkinson walks into Steve's office and comments that during WWII he "was wrapped in a cloak and carrying a dagger for the OSS," in the next shot the shadow of the boom mic is moving on the wall, at the top right corner of the screen.

Super Grover

The Man Who Could Move the World - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Steve complains that he can't steer the Jeep. The Japanese doctor is using mind control to keep Steve from being able to control the Jeep. However, in several shots, Steve can easily be seen steering the Jeep despite the doctor's continued control over it.

The Bermuda Triangle Crisis - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Steve's parachute moves around, even though it's flat on the ground and no one moved it. After Wonder Woman rescues Steve from the tree, Steve is laying on the ground motionless and unconscious. His parachute moves around between the time Wonder Woman walks away and Diana returns, even though nothing could have moved it. It wouldn't be so obvious, except that the material is red and white, so when it changes, you can really tell.

Continuity mistake: When Diana escapes from the guy who had kidnapped the boy, she runs into the woods wearing a dress. When she starts to turn into Wonder Woman, she is somehow now wearing pants just before she changes into Wonder Woman.

Knockout - S2-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When the hit-man is loading his gun in the alley in preparation to kill Diana, a crew member is reflected in the storefront "Humburgers" window.

The Pied Piper - S2-E6

Audio problem: Hamlin Rule, the bad guy in this episode, is a singer. When he sings, his lips frequently don't match the words being sung.

Light-fingered Lady - S2-E13

Trivia: When Wonder Woman jumps over the fence, if you pause it for a split second, one can see the tip of a crew member's head. In the widescreen version, one can see the crew member and the lever he is pushing to allow for her jump.

Answer: The transformation twirling was invented for the 1970s TV series only, to explain her quick change from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman. However, it would have been nice to do a little spin homage in the movie.

Answer: She does. However, if she were to use any of her abilities as Diana Prince, everybody, including her enemies would be able to make the connection that Diana Prince and Wonder Woman are the same person which could be used to get revenge on her. By not using her abilities in her civilian disguise, nobody would suspect anything at all and she could keep herself and her friends safe.

So it was more a choice that she decided an Ice Skating move was less conspicuous than say, ducking in a phone booth like Superman? If Clark Kent enters a a phone booth, and Superman comes out, don't you think even the dull of mind would get the connection?

That's because Clark Kent has super speed so he can easily run into a phone booth quickly and leave as Superman as quickly too or whenever Clark does need to change into Superman out in the open, there's never around to see him change. It's a plot device that's really effective.

Could one man or gal. We're supposed to just believe almost everyone these two are around can't figure out of the obvious. Characters like Spider-Man and Batman can do this because of their masks, so these excuses just don't pass with me.

Answer: As Diana Prince she didn't have the super powers that Wonder Woman has, although as an Amazon princess she does have greater strength than normal humans. Diana's mom taught her how to transform her ordinary clothes into her Wonder Woman outfit (as opposed to just doing a quick change like Clark Kent does). Her outfit, which her mother gives her when she leaves includes the "golden girdle of Gaea." The girdle provides enhanced strength and heightens her other abilities. As to why she spins, it was a stylized choice to add something extra to the show and hadn't been done in the comics. Although they did change it up a bit due to budget and time. Later, Wonder Woman comic writers would include the spin into the comics, but by then it was generally to put her into her secret identity, not to give her her powers. But as to why Diana Prince doesn't have super powers in the 70's show, as opposed to other incarnations of her; the original TV movie pilot had Diana powerless like the character was during the Bronze Age of Wonder Woman (late 60's) when Diana decided to stay on Earth and became mortal. That series was not picked up, but a 2nd attempt at it, starring Lynda Carter, was and the series loosely based Diana on the first pilot but through magic could transform into the superhero Wonder Woman.
