Continuity mistake: The Mexican police pull a submerged car from the water with a crane. In the full shot (stock footage), the car emerging is upright (rooftop above, wheels underneath).

Family Affair - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: The taxi Diamond follows has no markings on the side when it first pulls away. During the drive, it suddenly has both markings on the side and an advertising sign on the back. But when it stops, the cab again has no markings, and the sign has disappeared.
