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)

Scan - S2-E3

Go - S1-E21

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.

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)

Buried - S2-E7

Character mistake: Mahone is very smart and meticulous, similar to Schofield. He has a good knowledge of forensics as shown throughout the show. However he shoots Tweener, and places the gun in his hands after shooting him. He would know that the blood on Tweeners hands would show he wasn't holding the gun when he was killed due to blood spatter behind behind the weapon. (00:40:20)

Video

The Art of the Deal - S3-E13

Deliberate mistake: *SPOILER ALERT* Behind T-Bag is the actor who plays Lechero, and Lechero had just died in the episode. The person was not Lechero, but maybe they didn't have another extra at hand to replace him. 'Time 1' and 'Time 2' are taken from Netflix at the time this was posted. (00:29:46 - 00:30:25)

Rendezvous - S2-E10

Plot hole: Linc is arrested in Wilcox, Arizona and is rescued by his father's people. They then take him to Trinidad in Colorado, an 8 and a half hour journey by car - they are seen in the same van. However in those 8 hours, it's not noticed that a) The police unit had been attacked and b) Lincoln Burrows, one of the 8 most wanted men in the USA, had escaped. Surely in 8 hours someone would have noticed. (00:07:35)

Michael Scofield: I thought your cousin was trying to move in on your girl.
Fernando Sucre: That's my other cousin but thanks for bringing that up, jackass.

Scylla - S4-E1

Trivia: Spoiler. The Scylla alarm on the General's computer is visible on screen for a second or two. Below the flashing word 'alarm', it says it is in section AA-23. That's also the designation of the prison block where Princess Leia is being held in Star Wars.
