The Night of the Winged Terror: Part 1 - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of this episode after the piñatas have exploded, West and Harper sit down to talk. Behind West to the left of the screen, only one blue and white piñata is hanging. The next shot of the two men talking shows three different piñatas hanging behind them.

The Night of the Janus - S4-E18

Revealing mistake: About half way through this episode, the hooded man West is chasing goes through double doors and closes them. West slams his body to open the doors. He steps back to ram his body into the doors again to force them open. Before he does, we see the doors sort of slightly move back and forth (this looks very odd and unnatural) before West slams them open.

The Night of the Pistoleros - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: West's close-up before the final scene in the boxcar shows his hair to be brushed back from the right to left and his hair looks full. The next shot in the boxcar, West's hair is distinctly parted on the left and is more flat looking.

The Night of the Pistoleros - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the first half of this show, the colonel and West are having a drink inside. Both men's clothes are spotless as they walk to the door to go outside. Once they go through the door, the colonel's jacket is noticeably dirty, especially on its right side. When West turns around from seeing Sgt. Tobin's body, the seat of West's pants is also quite dirty with a small tear in the middle of the seat of his pants. When West walks towards his horse to leave, the seat of his pants is spotless and the rip is gone.

The Night of the Diva - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, the close-up of the train entering the town shows the number 22 and is not painted as West's train is. However, when West enters the box car from the town's train depot, it is his box car. Also, as West enters the boxcar, the backdrop of the outside is not of the train depot but looks more like solid brown paneling.

The Night of the Diva - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: The close-up of the stationary boxcar midway through this episode shows it amid dirt and brown low brush. When the young lady enters, one can see a very green tree immediately outside the door.

The Night of the Diva - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: In the next to the last scene of this show, West removes the mask of the fallen villain - this reveals a woman with long brown flowing hair. However, in all the shots before, this villain had a short haircut.

The Night of the Bleak Island - S4-E21

Revealing mistake: Towards the end of this episode, West enters a small house. As the door opens, there is a small piece of furniture with drawers in the front and a red and white checker cloth on top. During the fight scene in this room, this chest of drawers is broken to reveal it is a prop that had the drawers painted on the front.

The Night of the Cossacks - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: A bit after midway through this episode, while in the cave, West, wearing a blue shirt, is rolled into a hole on the ground. After the fall, he is wearing a white shirt. There is a close-up of West reaching into his jacket for rope. The close-up shows West wearing a blue vest. He is wearing the white shirt (no vest) as he begins to climb out of the hole, but when he gets out of the hole he is wearing a blue shirt (no vest).

Trivia: Due to the rigorous stunts he performed, actor Robert Conrad would often rip out the seat of his already too tight pants.
