Continuity mistake: This basically happens in nearly every episode. Whenever Michael's mom is smoking, which she does a lot, her cigarette and smoke change size and position with every shot. Although it's hard to keep a cigarette burning the same way with each take, it seems as if no attempt was made at all.
Continuity mistake: Just after Michael throws his mothers cigarette out of the car, there is a shot from the inside through the front window. There is a large crack in the glass, bottom left of the rear view mirror. When the car is shot from the front, there's no crack. (00:24:30)
Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Walter, the art dealer, the latter has his hands folded together. In the next shot he has one hand on his lap and the other on the table. (00:35:20)
Old Friends - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Mike is threatening the Assassin, by withholding his allergy shot. The needle flips instantly in his hand between shots. Noticeable because of the black tip on one side. (00:39:05)
Continuity mistake: When Sam bugs Ari's Ferrari, he places the bug under the dash cowl above the steering wheel. Near the end, after the Zamir family's warehouse is found empty, the father is shown searching his son's Ferrari and pulls out the bug from behind an air vent on the passenger side, not where the bug was originally placed.
Broken Rules - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Michael has to prove himself for his new "boss" Concha Ramirez. He walks across the street to Fiona and starts a mock robbery to get her purse. When he approaches the car, the window is down. Three seconds later he is at the car and the window is up so Michael can break it. Watch as the window frame goes from clean (as if the window were down) to broken pieces of glass on the frame between shots. (00:24:10)
Wanted Man - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Michael is eating his slush, the way he holds his cup changes between shots.
Hard Bargain - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When the kidnapper holds Michael at gunpoint on the balcony, his hand holding the gun is shaking. In the next shot, from behind, his hand is perfectly still. The shot then switches back, and his hand is shaking again.
False Flag - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: While the team is driving to drop Doug off at the Attorney General's office, there are multiple times that the camera shows Michael riding with Fiona in the trailing car, however when they arrive she is alone and Michael is on the roof behind Evelyn. (00:36:20 - 00:37:25)
False Flag - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Evelyn she picks up her glass and brings it to her mouth. When switching to a different angle her glass is back on the table, and she has her hands on her lap.
Continuity mistake: Michael is having a meeting with the guy who is asking how Michael found out about him (where Sam is standing guard with the sniper rifle.) Michael has a gun pulled on him and is trying to escape. As Michael is trying to leave in the Charger, he pulls backwards and makes a 90 degree turn so that the passenger side of the Charger is facing the guy with the gun. The windshield could not have been shot from this angle. The next camera shot Michael is driving backwards again with the windshield facing the guy so he can shoot a hole in the center of Michael's windshield.
Continuity mistake: When the heroin importer is questioning Sam, he has his hand around his face, with his fingers touching his ear. When the shot moves to the front, his hand is more on his throat and nowhere near his ear. When we cut to the back, his hand moves again.
Continuity mistake: When Michael is on the phone with the heroin dealer at the docks, he has his phone at his left ear. When the camera moves to a shot from the back, there's no phone near his face (or in the frame for that matter) and his mouth doesn't move while talking. When the shot cuts back, the phone instantly is back at his ear.
Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Barry, Barry's hands change position with each shot. On the table, folded together, holding his glass, etc.
Continuity mistake: When Ricky leaves Michael's apartment he has the envelope with money in his left hand. When the shot changes, we instantly see him walking away empty handed, with the envelope lying on the table.
Continuity mistake: Michael makes the target/client use a faulty pen that spill ink all over her hand. When Michael is in the bathroom and holds over the targets mouth, his shirt gets dirty of the ink from the target/clients hand. After this, it switches between the shots and Michael having a dirty and clean shirt several times. (00:10:53 - 00:11:46)
Continuity mistake: When Chandler's car explodes, he and Michael land prone on the ground facing the explosion. When the shot cuts, they're facing the opposite direction. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Michael is attempting to deceive Brennen into letting him and Nate go (from the time Brennen receives the picture message to when Brennen leaves), Brennen's necktie (right below the knot) changes from having a dimple to being flat, 6 or 7 times during the scene.
Chosen answer: They could wear disguises to hide their appearance.
