Revealing mistake: Re-used footage causes the lupus running toward Puppis to make the exact same leap twice. (00:26:45)
The Living Legend (2) - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: As the gold Centurion Cylon approaches the camera, some very obvious human fingerprints litter the frame around his "mouthpiece"- as if left by a crew member that helped the actor put it on. (00:15:45)
The Living Legend (2) - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: As Pegasus approaches the two forward base stars, she is shown from the rear of her port side, moving away from camera. The shot is a reversed image of Galactica (her name is backwards on the landing bay). After the vipers clear a path for her, the same shot is flipped again, so that Galactica reads properly, despite the shot purportedly being of Pegasus. (00:43:55 - 00:45:05)
The Living Legend (2) - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: The shots of the exploding containers in the very modern looking Gamoray are a reuse of shots from the episode "The Young Lords", evidenced by the obvious castle in the background. (00:17:50)
Greetings from Earth (2) - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: Just before Commandant Leiter is told that all three ships have landed on Paradeen, a shot of the Eastern Alliance ship shows very visible guide wires holding up the model. (00:13:40)
Revealing mistake: When Robber starts shooting at Apollo and Boomer, it's comically obvious that the two warriors have been replaced by stunt doubles that bear almost no resemblance to the actors- most notably as they run for cover. (00:32:55)
Revealing mistake: When Apollo changes course, he pulls back on the joystick and the interior shot shows the shuttle seems to raise its nose. But the stars outside the window also tilt, meaning the shuttle hasn't tilted - the camera has. (00:34:25)
The Man with Nine Lives - S1-E17
Revealing mistake: When one of the Nomen throws his "boles" at a support column, it is obvious in the side shot that the actor never really lets them go, but just turns his hand to block sight of them as his hand drops. The glow can be seen traveling downward, despite the next shot showing the lighted weapon traveling forward. (00:11:30)
The Living Legend (2) - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: When Pegasus goes after Baltar's base star, Pegasus takes damage to her starboard landing bay. The shot is reversed and a reuse of the same shot from the previous episode when Galactica took identical damage to her port bay. (00:32:30)
Revealing mistake: When Starbuck veers off the shot of his thumb and the flight stick is reversed. The "IM" button is on the left and the red "FIRE" button is on the right, opposite from where they normally are. Sharp eyes can even see the word "TURBO" is reversed before Starbuck's thumb covers it. (00:03:18)
Revealing mistake: One of the fire crew presses several controls on a panel operating the ship's pumping mechanism. When his gloved hand is shown pressing the first button, the supposedly metal panel flexes and buckles slightly. (00:23:50)
