Steve Austin, Fugitive - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: The background behind Hopper while he is in the man lift changes from shot to shot. In the close ups of him in the man lift's basket, there is a striped wooden wall, but the long shot of the man lift in the raised position shows an open wooden railing behind it.

Nuclear Alert - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After Steve kicks the aircraft door open, causing the cabin to depressurise, chaos erupts and violent airflow is evident. However, in the following shots, conditions inexplicably return to normal: there is no wind, no turbulence, and no sign of ongoing disruption.

Burning Bright - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Steve's stuntman jumps onto the speeding pickup truck, the thug grabs him tightly—clearly to keep the stuntman from falling off. In the very next shot, however, the thug is suddenly gagging him.

Run, Steve, Run - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Steve jumps off his horse and tackles the man on the left, Steve's hat falls off—and so does the man's rifle. In the next shot, the hat is back on Steve's head and the rifle is back in the man's hands.

The Coward - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Steve and the instructor jump out of the plane and toss a third parachute attached to a duffel bag. However, in the wide shot, a third man (legs are visible so it's not the duffel bag) suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Trivia: Only mentioned in one episode early in the series, Steve Austin's least-referenced superhuman power was his ability to hold his breath for extraordinary lengths of time. Steve's phenomenal breath-holding ability was due to the fact that, even though he had two normal lungs, he had a much smaller circulatory system than a normal human being. Also, the Steve Austin in Martin Caidin's original book, "Cyborg," had an entire array of weapons, flares, communications gear, retractable swim fins, and scuba tanks built into his bionic body.
