Revealing mistake: In this episode the aliens with the help of 'turncoat' Turner have frozen a moment in time in which they will attack and destroy SHADO HQ. Everything and everyone is frozen in place - except for the guy in the background walking across the road during Straker's and Turner's 'car' chase in the 'Harlington/Straker' go carts.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, the smudges and rips in Straker's black shirt keep appearing, disappearing and changing configurations between shots as he races through S.H.A.D.O. HQ and the Harlington-Straker studio lot. (00:04:30)
