The Bridge of Lions Affair (2) - S2-E21
Visible crew/equipment: During his fistfight with the burly body guard outside Sir Norman's estate, Illya's stunt double's face is visible in profile. (00:40:15)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: In close-up, Illya is covering the phone receiver with his left hand, but drops the hand to his side when he tells the operator, "Never mind." There's an immediate cut to a wider angle, and his left hand is suddenly back on the receiver in the same position as before. (00:24:00)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Pendleton swallows a suicide capsule and collapses at the interrogation table face down between two file folders. But when the shot cuts to a different angle, his head has instantly moved several inches to the right and is resting in the middle of one of the folders instead of in between them. (00:17:00)
The Tigers are Coming Affair - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: The gag covering Suzanne's mouth changes position (the patterns on the cloth have shifted) when she gets up to kick the bad guys off the dock into the water. (00:44:40)
The Round Table Affair - S2-E27
Visible crew/equipment: As the bus door is pulled shut at the end, the glass in its window captures the reflection of a big round studio light. (00:45:10)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Plot hole: Waverly installs the explosive ring on Solo's finger and arms it, then says, "No one is to know you've been issued a priority ring." Odd command. It's a huge and conspicuous gold and red ring that he can't take off, and everyone at U.N.C.L.E. knows what it is. So how can Solo possibly keep it a secret? (00:07:25)
The Children's Day Affair - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: The glass in the windshield of Solo and Illya's car is there, then not there, then there again and so on, depending on whether the shot is actually outdoors or processed in studio. (00:00:30)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: A swarm of bees blackens the windshield of Solo & Illya's car. We see them in all the interior shots, but every time it cuts to an exterior view, the windshield is perfectly clear. (00:04:15)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Visible crew/equipment: While Solo is reading Jojo's arrest record to her, the shadow of a film crew member's hand moves on the wall at the lower left of the screen. (00:14:15)
The Very Important Zombie Affair - S2-E15
Visible crew/equipment: When Solo and Illya move across the room to answer the door, the shadow of the boom can be seen moving in the mirror on the left. (00:13:05)
The Bridge of Lions Affair (2) - S2-E21
Revealing mistake: MGM often recycled props from its earlier films. Here, the head of Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet" is used as part of the rejuvenation machine. (00:33:30)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Cervantes shoots Rodriguez, a shell casing from his gun lands on the metal storage container beside him. But in the next shot of him, it's disappeared. (00:31:25)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: After George's hypnosis and brainwashing are complete, the boom slips into the shot at the upper right corner of the screen. (00:12:10)
Continuity mistake: When Illya and Vogler practice shooting arrows at the "No Hunting" sign, the "I" is completely there one moment, then acquires a huge white chip in its base without being hit by an arrow. A few shots later, it's intact again. (00:19:00)
The King of Diamonds Affair - S2-E25
Continuity mistake: Illya removes his shoes, leaves them on the ground and climbs the guard tower barefooted. But in the following shots, his shoes have reappeared on his feet. (00:42:50)
Visible crew/equipment: During Arthur's argument with his sister over the guest list, the boom shadow moves across the wall at the upper left of the screen. (00:13:45)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Visible crew/equipment: When Hubris and his henchmen leave Narouz's bistro, the boom shadow is lurking on the block wall at the lower right. (00:20:45)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Revealing mistake: In the opening sequence, stock footage re-used from the first season has the peculiar result of turning a brief part of the otherwise all-color episode black-and-white. (00:00:20)
The Adriatic Express Affair - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: Solo & Illya are locked in a cell in the windowless baggage car. But all of the exterior shots of the train show it hauling only window-lined passenger cars, and no baggage car at all. (00:44:30)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: In the underground corridor, Illya knocks out a Thrush guard and then sits down to wait for Solo to turn off the electric beam blocking the way inside. Behind him, the "unconscious" guard moves his foot. (00:29:05)
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.
