The Wild Wild West

The Night of the Legion of Death - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: Throughout this episode, West's hair keeps switching from being parted on the left and being flat to being combed from the right in a sweeping higher volume style. Before the title appears, in the inside fight scene, it is parted on the right. In the scene after, the part of West's hair has moved to the left side and remains during the scene in the garden house. When West goes through the garden house trap door, right after he enters the home through a secret passage, West's hair is combed from the right with the sweeping more volume hair. After the fight in that room, as he is breaks through the glass, once outside, his hair goes back to being parted on the left and being flat again. The next scene his hair changes to the more full version. West's hair goes flat again when he is with Gordon in the garden house right before the third frozen panel appears (of the five panels in every episode). His hair changes to right combed version when he enters the home with Gordon through the secret passage and remains this way for the rest of the episode.

The Night of the Vipers - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: Midway through this episode as West is ascending the outside wooden steps to Moriarty's office, his shirt has a vertical rip in his upper left chest area. Once West goes inside, that rip is no longer there but is replaced by a much larger vertical rip (much lower from his waist up to his chest). This larger rip is seen throughout this scene. When West leaves Moriarty's office, the larger rip is no longer there and the original smaller higher rip re-appears. In the following scene when West is changing his shirt, the smaller upper rip has been replaced by the much larger lower vertical rip.

The Night of the Vipers - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: As the boxing match moves from inside to outdoors, West's shirt is drenched on the back, as well as around the collar and top front of the shirt. Outdoors, those areas are dry. When the fight moves by the water, West shirt is torn on his front left (length from the 2nd to 4th buttons). At the end of that scene, that tear no longer shows, but a new one appears much higher (length from 1st to 2nd buttons) and is closer to his arm in the upper left chest area.

The Night of the Vipers - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: Before the title appears for this episode, in a long screen shot, West is knocked out face-up with both arms extended above his head; only his left elbow is touching the knocked out bad guy next to him. The next immediate close-up shot of West shows West with only his right arm extended above his head and his body is much closer next to the bad guy. As the title appears, West is face-down resting on his right arm when he starts to regain consciousness.

The Night of the Assassin - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: During the time the Lieutenant is discussing Halvorsen's fate with Colonel Barbossa, his left side is facing the Colonel. An instant later when he salutes the Colonel, the lieutenant is now facing the Colonel directly.

The Night of the Bubbling Death - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: West describes to Artie his movements through the fortress using a model of the structure sitting on a table with a green table cloth and gold trim. West's left hand is resting on the table, as is a clear glass dish, as well. Close ups show the model close to the edge where the dish was and West's left hand on his thigh.

The Night Dr. Loveless Died - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Eatlier, West smashes the window and removes the drape so he and Liebnicht can escape. Later, when Artie and Triste arrive at the same window, the glass and the drape are not gone, but intact as if West never caused the damage.

The Night of the Bubbling Death - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: As West drags the body of a bad guy out of the scene, the supposedly unconscious man is holding his head up so as not to have his head dragged through the dirt. A truly unconscious person's head would flop back on to the ground.

The Night of the Infernal Machine - S2-E14

Trivia: West collides with the cook and sends him sprawling face-down in a huge platter of gelatin. Before racing off again, West quips, "Sorry about that, chef!" This was a winking homage to the 60s spy comedy Get Smart and its bumbling hero Maxwell Smart's famous catch-phrase, "Sorry about that, Chief!" (00:47:30)
