How to Stop an Exploding Man - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Parkman is shooting at Sylar in Kirby Plaza, he fires four shots. But when we see the bullets hovering in the air before Sylar's hand, just before he flings the bullets back toward Parkman, there are five of them. (00:35:30)
Continuity mistake: When Hiro gives Charlie the Japanese phrase book, Charlie flips the book over to look at the back cover, then flips it frontwards again. In the next shot, she's instantly looking at the back cover again. (00:16:20)
Revealing mistake: Claire Bennett is accidentally tackled when she and Zach are arguing while watching the football game. Apparently, her neck is badly broken in the fall, even twisted a full 180°. However, if you watch closely as she falls, you can see that she is completely fine, stretching out her arms to take the impact before rolling around. She lands on her front, arms stretched out, all in all well prepared for the landing, and rolls around. In the next shot her neck is twisted in a way that simply wouldn't be possible in such a fall. She would have had to have her head stuck under something before rolling over, which she certainly did not. The guy tackling her did not land on top of her either. (00:19:40)
Factual error: During Hiro's journey around New York, a Carl's Jr. restaurant is visible in the background. That restaurant isn't called "Carl's Jr." on the East coast; it's called "Hardee's."
Continuity mistake: In previous episodes, when we see DL getting into the car as Nikki prepares to shoot him, he pauses for a second and looks around. In this episode, when we see the actual shooting, DL never looks around, he just opens the car door and prepares to get in, without pause.
Continuity mistake: Episode One, when Claire is talking to her mom, right after she sticks her hand in the garbage disposal, her ponytail goes from being over her shoulder to behind it, even though Claire never moves.
Company Man - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: At the end of this episode, Noah is having a flashback. It shows Claire helping him pick out his new glasses. In this scene, Noah first tells Claire that she is adopted. However, in the episode "One Giant Leap", Claire tells Brody Mitchell that her parents told her that she was adopted when she was really little. In "Company Man" she is around 14 or 15 years of age in the flashback.
Other mistake: After Peter falls on the cab, a piece of metal is sticking out of his chest. He pulls himself off it, but when he's on the hood, the piece that was sticking though him isn't there, even though it should be visible.
Other mistake: When Niki looks at the Cadillac's registration, it says the license plate number is "307RTH." When she opens the trunk, you can see the plate and it's "329OCX."
Continuity mistake: When the would-be robber takes his gun out, he places his hands on his head. But in the next shot, at least his left hand is no longer on his head. It's back up in the next shot.
Revealing mistake: When Niki goes to find the 2 million in a case and open it, you can tell that all the money is fake as all the $100 bills have the same numbers. (00:37:37)
Continuity mistake: Peter is pushed off the building faced forward, he is falling face forward, yet he manages to land face upwards.
Company Man - S1-E17
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the episode, as Claire and Noah get out of the car and walk with René (The Haitian) towards the back of the car, you can see the entire camera crew, even the camera crane, reflected on the back of the SUV.
Continuity mistake: Mohinder and his friend enter Sylar's apartment. He's wearing a white shirt. In one shot, when he finds Sylar's secret room, he is wearing a dark jacket.
Suggested correction: It's not a dark jacket. It's still his shirt but since he's in the shadows, it just looks darker. You even see when the light swings you can catch a glimpse of the shirt.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sylar and Mrs. Bennet begin to talk, she becomes suspicious about his interest in Claire. When Mrs. Bennet picks up the phone to call her husband, Sylar visibly moves his finger to use his telekinetic power right before the angle changes. In the next shot, Sylar again does the same motion with his finger, but this time the phone is removed from Mrs. Bennet's hand.
