Continuity mistake: The recuperating Solo has a towel on his forehead. But as he's telling Pia his name, the towel disappears between shots. (00:19:20)
The Concrete Overcoat Affair (1) - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: When an undercover Illya carries the wine boxes into Strago's vineyard, the bottom box has a dark brown striation under the word "Chicago." This disappears and reappears, then disappears again as the scene progresses. (00:20:40)
The Abominable Snowman Affair - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: The cinder blocks used to seal the tomb change color. Initially, they're black. But when the wall collapses on the bricklayer, they've turned white. (00:41:00 - 00:45:00)
The Abominable Snowman Affair - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: The first time we see the tomb being sealed, the bricklayer has built the wall up to shoulder height. When the camera shot reverses angles, the wall is suddenly only waist high. (00:41:15)
The My Friend, the Gorilla Affair - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Prince Khufu is holding his seal of office medallion in one hand, showing it to Illya. But in the very next cut, his hands are on his cloak instead and the medallion is again hanging around his neck. (00:00:45)
The My Friend, the Gorilla Affair - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: The giant (and obviously fake) spider is beside Marsha, crawling toward her extended right hand when Illya tells her to freeze. But when he clobbers the foam-rubber menace in the next shot, he attacks the grass behind her. And her right hand, stretched out on the grass when he said "Freeze," has instantaneously moved to her lap between takes. (00:29:05)
The Jingle Bells Affair - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Napoleon and Illya enter the Macy's store with the Russian chairman, the woman outside with the Salvation Army is ringing her bell down by her side, but when the shot cuts, the bell is up by her head. (00:09:05)
The Jingle Bells Affair - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When the gunmen storm the rescue mission, they enter through a 3-paned glass door with its glass intact. Cut to an interior shot of them coming in, and the glass is now completely broken out. (00:27:25)
The Jingle Bells Affair - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when Mr. Waverly is playing chess with the little boy, his hands are either tented together or not, depending on the shot. (00:46:50)
The Take Me to Your Leader Affair - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: In long shot, the helicopter Solo is flying hovers in a cloudless, clear blue sky. In close-ups of him in the cockpit, however, the sky outside the copter's window-bubble is full of clouds. (00:15:05)
The Take Me to Your Leader Affair - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: Illya's shoe converts to an improbable electric drill. He inserts a foot-long drill bit (and just where was he hiding that when the baddies searched him?) into the flat of the heel. But when he starts drilling at the bars, the bit is sticking out of the side of the shoe instead. (00:21:15)
The Take Me to Your Leader Affair - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: Illya's shirt tail is hanging out when he heads for the window to use his home-made slingshot, but has tucked itself back in a few shots later, when he climbs out the window. (00:39:15)
The Deadly Smorgasbord Affair - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Dr. Nillson's suspended animation device is said to freeze only living matter. But when it's accidentally set off and freezes the dancing teenagers, it stops the record player, too. And when the teens are re-animated, so is the music. (00:04:15)
The Deadly Smorgasbord Affair - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Inga sure moves fast. She's stretched out on her side on the bed beside Solo, and in the very next shot, she's lying on top of him. (00:08:50)
The Yo-Ho-Ho and a Bottle of Rum Affair - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: The ship we see steaming out of Hong Kong (with Illya aboard) is shown later out on the open sea - only it's not the same ship. The first was painted black: the ship we see later is white. (00:05:25 - 00:08:30)
The Napoleon's Tomb Affair - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: The buildings visible from Tunick's hotel suite balcony are completely different at night from those that were showing during the day. (00:17:45 - 00:30:30)
The Napoleon's Tomb Affair - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When President Tunick is despairing that Candyce no-showed for their date, the packages in his arms (particularly the red-and-white one and the gold one) shift around between shots. (00:22:10)
The Napoleon's Tomb Affair - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: During his fight with Edgar, Illya is counting aloud, waiting for the sleep dart he stabbed the big man with to take effect. Between his counts of 8 and 9, he instantly moves 3 feet to the left relative to the cardboard boxes stacked in the warehouse. (00:35:50)
The Napoleon's Tomb Affair - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: Edgar collapses on the warehouse floor next to a large stack of wine boxes. But in the wider shot, as Illya unties Solo, the wine crates have disappeared. (00:36:35)
The Napoleon's Tomb Affair - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When Malanez is explaining how Napoleon's tomb will be moved out of the building once they steal it, he looks at his watch. His right index finger disappears from his jacket cuff between shots. (00:39:15)
Answer: He must have ridden in an Eaton's store elevator while he was in Canada at some point. For some reason, this elevator reminds him of it. The show's original concept had Solo being a Canadian, so this may be a minor nod to that fact.
