Map 1213 - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When C-Note leaps out of the train, you can see that the man jumping out of the train is a stuntman. He is much chubbier than C-Note (wearing a life vest) and his face is completely different. (00:22:20)

Buried - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: When Sara Tancredi is pulling her dead father off the door he lets out a very audible grunt and you can see his eyes and mouth moving around, a few seconds later he is on the floor and his eyes are dull and his skin slightly pasty. (00:16:40 - 00:17:05)

Chicago - S2-E16

Revealing mistake: When Haywire jumps off the tower, it's obviously a stuntman falling down. And when you see his fall from above, he is falling towards a big drain. But when the scene cuts to the part when he has landed, he's lying on concrete. (00:42:15)

Season 2 generally

Revealing mistake: In the episode where Scofield, Sucre and T-Bag are driving in Panama, the trees in the background have no leaves - like Autumn/Winter in the US. And even though there of course are trees in Panama which shed their leaves, there is no time of year when all trees are leafless - like in the temperate zones. That shot was definitely not filmed in Panama.

Jacob La Cour

Manhunt - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When 5 of the escapees are heading to Oswego to get the supplies and Michael tells Lincoln to turn right, you can see it isn't a real car as the steering wheel doesn't turn - Lincoln just moves his hand along the wheel. Watch the grooves and you will see. (00:18:50)

First Down - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: Throughout the entire car chase, you can see through the front window of both cars, including as Linc and Michael are run off the road. However, when the car gets airborne and hits the tree, the glass on the windscreen is now frosted up, so you can see no one is in the car when it hits the tree. (00:03:10)

First Down - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: During the car chase at the beginning, there is a shot of the cars speeding off just before we see the truck approaching. However, look carefully and you will see the truck parked up, waiting to move. (00:02:40)

Rendezvous - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: Just before Michael drives through the gate, there is a very very quick shot of the car just before it hits the gate. In this shot, the wing that gets peeled off is raised, waiting to catch on the gate. (00:18:50)

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Quinn falls in the well, he falls through and subsequently destroys the well cover. At the end of the episode when the Secret Service boys show up, an undamaged cover is lying next to the well, which Kellerman uses to cover it up. (00:29:30 - 00:38:30)

More trivia for Prison Break

Answer: Roughly as follows. Linc "kills" Steadman in 2001. Michael robs the bank on March 9th 2005 and is sent to Fox River on April 11th. The breakout from Fox River takes place on or around May 25-31. Michael arrives in Sona on June 17th 2005. More details are here: https://prisonbreak.fandom.com/wiki/Prison_Break_timeline.

That wouldn't make sense because the original grave stone in series 4 has Michael's death date as 2005, which is supposed to be at least 3 years after Fox River.
