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)

Suggested correction: It does occasionally snow in such months. There is no rule about weather being certain. It's just what we consider usual for each season, e.g. winter = cold. Characters even comment on very "variable" weather in state.

Brother's Keeper - S1-E16

Plot hole: In a previous episode Link says he ditched the gun after he was framed and that he chose the gun the night before. Earlier in the episode, Michael met Link off the street, then went to a bar and met Veronica, then those two go to Michael's apartment. At the apartment, Michael gets the call from Link who is trying to get Michael to talk him out of killing Stedman. But how could he choose a gun the night before when he is asked to kill Stedman and calls Michael on the same day?

Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: Lincoln Burrows is scheduled to die on May 11th, 2006. When Veronica learns of the priest's death, we see a wall planner on the wall with May 11th circled in red marker. The day on the wall planner is Wednesday. However, May 11th, 2006 was a Thursday. (00:32:00)

The Key - S1-E19

Plot hole: C-Note says about pulling a simple bump and grab on The Key like they did before. However, when Abruzzi and his men get The Key the 1st time, C-Note wasn't in the group then. It is extremely unlikely they would divulge this trivial piece of information as the issue is long since resolved. (00:03:50)

Buried - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Alexander Mahone reveals his so called past to Tweener and shows pulls out 2 pills from his pen, however next time we see the pills there are 3. (00:12:10 - 00:13:20)

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.
