Show generally

Factual error: A recurring mechanism in the series is if the power fails the prison cells that are magnetically locked open immediately. No magnetic locks are designed like this. They would fail their initial purpose which is to provide physical security. If a power outage occurs it would take hours before the locks would be released.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the series finale "Chuck versus the Good-Bye", Chuck and Sarah are in the Wienerlicious waiting for Quin to show up, Sarah begins rearranging the cups. There are three stacks of cups, and after she has set the third stack down, the camera cuts and she is now just reaching for the third stack. (She moved the third stack twice.)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sarah and Chuck find the suspected bomb, Sarah initially tries to disarm it by removing the numeric key pad under the display.

In the shots where the characters are talking, the keypad remains off but every time the shot changes to a close up of the suspected bomb the keypad is back on, under the display. (00:37:00)

Chuck Versus the Fat Lady - S2-E7

Factual error: When Chuck and Jill recover Guy LeFleur's hard drive containing the list of Fulcrum agents, General Beckman says that the flash drive is encrypted with a 512 bit AES cypher. She then goes on to state, "the computer is trying every possible key against the encrypted data, " i.e., a brute force hack. However, it would take the fastest supercomputer in the world longer than the existence of the known universe in order to crack even a 128 bit AES encryption (and a 512 bit AES encryption has the number of possible keys of a 128 bit AES encryption, raised to the fourth power). In a previous episode, Chuck refers to the computer in Castle as having a "30 teraflops" speed, which is far less than the current fastest supercomputer. General Beckman instead says it will take only hours or days. (00:26:10)

Chuck Versus the Gravitron - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Ellie is testing her Thanksgiving turkey by giving Morgan a piece, when she throws it in the trash he says 'no no no Sarah.. what are you doing!', which is the actor's name (Sarah Lancaster), not her character's. Maybe edited in some versions. (00:09:40)

Chuck Versus the Sensei - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: The yellow pen that John Casey stabs into Ty Bennett changes between shots after Ty pulls it out. As he rotates it in front of the camera we can see that the bold BUY MORE logo is only printed once. Still in the very next shot, not only has the text changed direction (reading from the hat-side to the tip-side now), the logo have also appeared in front of Ty. (00:05:50)

Chuck Versus Santa Claus - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Sarah shot the Fulcrum agent and Chuck was looking that moment at his mom's bracelet, she has the bracelet on her left wrist and the red watch on her right. However, when she comes back to Buy More to talk to Chuck and hug him, she has the bracelet on her right wrist and the red watch on her left. Also, the first time Chuck showed her the bracelet, he put the bracelet on her right wrist.

Chuck Versus the Best Friend - S2-E14

Revealing mistake: When Sarah and the Triad chick are fighting, Sarah is thrown through the window of a late model Dodge. When she is thrown through the window, it breaks into large shards, indicating it is not made of the safety glass which is used in all car windows. But then, while they are fighting in the car, all the glass inside is small pieces of safety glass, not the shards.

Chuck Versus the Predator - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Orion working at his computer in Hong Kong and the Fulcrum agent is coming, he is watching Chuck, but he hears them, closes the window and its blank, but then the immediate next shot the screen shows Chuck still, and then the next shot it is black again. (00:02:10)

Cole Barker: Just doing my job, General. Actually, Chuck showed great courage on this mission. He got injured in the line of duty.
John Casey: He got clipped by a window sill. It's as pathetic as it sounds.
