First Down - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: The front licence plate disappears from Link's car as it hits the tree. (00:03:20)
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)
Other mistake: If the show takes place in May, when Lincoln is scheduled to be executed, why is it snowing?
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.
Revealing mistake: In the final scene you can see Abruzzi in his cell where they have reused shots from series 1 in Fox River.
Photo Finish - S3-E6
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene, a cameraman is visible behind Tracy McGrady. (00:00:47)
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)
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)
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)
Continuity mistake: In season 1 Lincoln says his mother died of liver cancer. In season 4 they said she died from a brain tumour.
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)
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)
