Other mistake: When the camera is close up on McQuade, you can see the cylinder of his pistol is empty.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Luke goes to shoot a dynamite arrow into the ground at the car, there is no kind of explosive propellant on the ground. In the close up, there is suddenly a pool of flammable liquid.
Other mistake: In the first scene when Bo and Luke are practicing with the General Lee, you see Bo using the clutch, but in the next shot both hands are on the wheel. He didn't have any time to move his hands in about a milisecond.
High Octane - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: As Bo and Luke are talking to Cooter, from a distance Bo raises the coil of copper tubing chest high on Jessie. After the angle change, Bo raises the copper tubing again.
Swamp Molly - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Daisy, while driving Uncle Jesse's truck, uses a rope to tilt over two barrels of oil in the bed of the truck. After, during certain camera angles you can see the barrels are still upright. (00:25:10 - 00:25:55)
Swamp Molly - S1-E6
Audio problem: In Hogg's office in the Boar's Nest, after Roscoe tells of the activities, Boss goes to put the needle back on the record. Trouble is, the record doesn't move until Boss turns it, but the music started before the record moved.
Swamp Molly - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: When the truck goes into the water, you can see the driver was either a stunt driver or a dummy. Also, you can see the top of the truck just under the surface of the water, suggesting it was on the bottom. A few seconds later, and all you can see are bubbles.
Swamp Molly - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Luke is in the ice cream truck right behind Bo in the General on a dirt road. As Bo calls Daisy, he's suddenly on a paved road with nobody behind him.
Audio problem: During the final run to the Boar's Nest, Luke is driving General Lee. There is one final jump, and you hear Bo's rebel yell, but Bo is at the Boar's Nest.
Revealing mistake: When Turk pushes Bo onto the tires, you can see his stunt double.
Continuity mistake: In the previous episode, Boss Hogg had a large brown mole below and to the right of his mouth. In this episode it's gone.
Continuity mistake: As "Sweet Talk" has Jessie and Daisy in the house at gun point, he has the shotgun at waist level. As they hear "Dixie" (the General's horn) the camera cuts in close to "Sweet Talk." He now has the gun at chest level. After he says 'Both of ya just sit still" it's at waist level.
Continuity mistake: When robbing Boss Hogg, the guy ripped the pocket of his jacket. Later at the Boar's Nest, you see the same pocket undamaged. Then when he's in the building, it's ripped again.
Audio problem: After Jessie and Cooter get into Limo One, Bo explains where Daisy is to meet them, but his mouth doesn't move, and the voice covers the sounds of everything else.
Continuity mistake: After the boys jump the bad guys in the chop shop, they pull the guys up, and Luke draws his bow on them. When the camera angle changes, Luke is just drawing his bow again, saying "Uh, uh, uh, uh", warning them to stop.
Revealing mistake: When spying on the hidden chop shop, the boys are using Cooter as a stepladder, with their feet on his shoulders. After he complains about their boots, they jump down after Daisy warns them. If you look at Cooter's shoulders, you can see that they're padded for the stunt.
Continuity mistake: After picking up Marlowe, the deputy with them mentions the car following them. They're out in the wide open area, but the car in the mirror is in the downtown area. Then after a quick cut, they're in the downtown area of Springville again.
Continuity mistake: The boys already had dynamite arrows made up. When they go to stop Marlowe's car, Luke says "Twenty-five percent charge ought to do it." They weren't carrying any extra dynamite, and weren't carrying the bags that held the bows where they would have had the extra charges.
Factual error: While the boys are chasing Marlowe in town after he takes Price's gun, he fires at them. He fires eight shots out of a six shooter without reloading. Also, Luke puts an arrow into the car to stop Marlowe, and steam comes out. But the arrow is too far back to have hit the radiator, and it only went in about an inch, far too high to have even touched the radiator.
Continuity mistake: The road that the Dukes are travelling on was clear about two minutes before, and the thugs were right behind them. After turning around to go the right way, they find the area they just came through blocked by a semi. No way the truck could have been set there that fast.
Answer: Various reasons, but mainly to drive the Dukes out of Hazzard County because the family have been foiling his schemes since his and Uncle Jesse's bootlegging days.
