Get Smart

School Days - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Max is being attacked with throwing knives, one is thrown into the closet door. Watch closely; the wire used to guide the knife is visible.

Guy

Run, Robot, Run - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Hymie is investigating the unconscious man in the shower, for some the reason the man is wearing underpants even though he is in a shower. Evidently for modesty.

Run, Robot, Run - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Purvis is about to go onto the field, it cuts to a close up of Purvis' face and you can actually see folds in the fake sky behind Purvis.

Viva Smart - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: The drawers in Max's hotel room have no bottom part in them, but Max passes right between the two drawers when he straightens up, so they have no inside-facing part either.

Viva Smart - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: The juggler accidentally drops the ball in his act, but if you look at the final part of his performance, he deliberately holds one of the balls in his hands so he can miss the final one.

Run, Robot, Run - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Hymie does the high jump, when the film cuts to a shot of him clearing the bar, Hymie's hair is curly when it should be flattened down like when he took of and as he landed. It is obviously a stunt double.

Schwartz's Island - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: Siegfried uses the magnet to push the ship away from the island. However, you can see the scene is reversed; the steam from the ship is going back into the funnel.

Schwartz's Island - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: When Max accidentally shoots the life raft with the flare gun, he visibly doesn't make a hole in the raft. It's likely it's ink or ash or another black material to look like the raft had a hole burned through it.

Pheasant Under Glass - S5-E1

Revealing mistake: When Max crashes through the wall in the prologue, you can easily tell it's a stunt double. You don't even need freeze frame to see it, as the screen freezes, stylistically fades, then the title sequence starts.

School Days - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Max is being attacked with throwing knives, one is thrown into the closet door. Watch closely; the wire used to guide the knife is visible.
