Miami Vice

The Great McCarthy - S1-E8

Character mistake: While at the party at McCarthy's house, Crockett tells McCarthy that he wants to participate in the yacht race that is taking place tomorrow. The following day, Gina and Trudy make an arrest at the beach, which Crockett helps with, and the following evening, Tubbs and Vanessa spend the night together. Then the day after that, the yacht race takes place. This means that the yacht race couldn't have taken place "tomorrow" as Crockett stated and instead took place the day after tomorrow. (00:21:57)

Casual Person

Rites of Passage - S1-E16

Character mistake: While in the interrogation room, Traynor's lawyer tells the cops that "they have opened themselves up to libel and assault." The accusations that the police were making against Traynor in the interrogation room were spoken statements, while libel refers to printed statements that are untrue. The correct term he should have used was slander, as those refer to false spoken statements. (00:40:08)

Casual Person

The Prodigal Son (1 & 2) - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: After Crockett and Tubbs' confrontation with the New York police at the end of part 1, as the police car drives away, in the background a blue car drives by and a man and woman can be seen in the car looking and pointing at the filming.
