The Groovy Guru - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: When Max and 99 are trapped in the room with the hatch that leads down to the Guru's chamber, the filmmakers didn't bother to make it seem like a giant hole in the ground, and they also didn't bother about the floor of the set being about ten centimetres below the hatch.

Don't Look Back - S3-E18

Factual error: In this episode, Max is wrongly convicted of murder in the first degree. However, first degree murder is actually pre-planned murder. As revealed earlier when the Max impostor holds up the bank, his partner compliments him on killing the guard as though it was a spontaneous decision. As the court does not know whether killing the guard was part of the plan, it was most likely that Max would be convicted of second-degree (intentional, but not pre-planned) murder.

The Wax Max - S3-E20

Other mistake: When there's a close up of Max firing the rifle, the rides that appear in the next shot should have been visible right behind him.

Spy, Spy, Birdie - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: In the episode, first Siegfried states that he was contacted in his apartment by Mr Pfister. Later, when talking to Max and 99, he states that Pfister stopped him in the street and asked him.

Spy, Spy, Birdie - S3-E22

Other mistake: There are several shots of the carrier pigeon flying home from the group of agents, but in those shots it is not a pigeon. Pigeons do not have wings that big.

Spy, Spy, Birdie - S3-E22

Deliberate mistake: Pfister states that there are two minutes until he destroys the world, but when he begins preparing, if you use a stopwatch, two minutes never pass, the clock that Pfister reads from is just exceptionally fast.

Spy, Spy, Birdie - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: In the first shot on the rooftop, Pfister is wearing thick glasses on his head. In all the other shots, he has no glasses with no time to remove them.

Spy, Spy, Birdie - S3-E22

Other mistake: Siegfried pulls out a pigeon and says that it is going to the Pentagon, but if you see his position compared to an earlier shot of the cages, he pulls out the one that is going to London.

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.

School Days - S1-E3

Max: When the moon is full, the tide is high.
Old Lady: You must want the spy school, that's next door.
