Mr. Big - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Max is phoning the Chief to let him know the mission's been accomplished, he takes the oars out of the oarlocks before opening his shoephone. The oars change from being out of the oarlocks in the closeups to still being in the water in the long shots for the rest of the episode. (00:23:50 - 00:24:30)

Captain Defenestrator

Mr. Big - S1-E1

Mr. Big - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Max is attacking the boat there is a shot from inside the cabin. Watch the door. Before Max shoots, there are a series of holes in the shade covering the door (they look like bullet holes). Max begins firing and there is another shot from inside and bullet holes begin appearing in the walls. The holes in the shade however, are gone.

School Days - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Max is walking around the school grounds he walks up to man breaking a piece of wood. The man breaks a piece of wood and then bends down to pick up a new piece, leaving one on the ground. The shot changes and Max is standing there talking and the man breaks the piece of wood and bends down to pick up another one (which should be the last piece). However there is another piece left on the ground.

Casablanca - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the chief stops Maxwell from beating the cab driver, he holds back Maxwell's arm by the very prominent cuff. After the following cut he holds it by the sleeve (and no sign of the cuff). (00:05:50)

Viva Smart - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Max cuts the hole in the wall, the shot shows that behind the prison wall is another wall. When the group climb out of the hole, they are in a big deserted area with no sign of a wall.

Viva Smart - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: At the carnival scene, the shot zooming in on the square shows that the Juggler's balls are blue. In all the other shots, they are white.

Maxwell Smart, Private Eye - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: At one point in the chase, the black car goes past a corner too fast and backs up so they can go through the street. When the random guy hails the taxi, the black car is reversing again in the background.

Supersonic Boom - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: At the car wash, the KAOS man drives his car in and there are two people in it for some reason, but when he gets out, he's the only one there.

Suggested correction: There are never two people in the car. The Chief, Max, and 99 even refer to "him" every time and not "them". Perhaps the submitter thinks the headrest of the empty seat is a person.

Suggested correction: After watching the scenes, his suit never changes color. It's always a dark grey, never dark blue.
