Dr. Yes - S3-E9

Plot hole: Doctor Yes' execution trap involves a booth flooding with water, drowning the occupant, and the water pushes a float upwards, eliminating another via a spinning blade. However, several times the float reaches the top of the booth, and the spinning blade doesn't kill anyone. There's also a breathing space at the top of the booth, so people couldn't drown in there.

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.

Supersonic Boom - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: The lift for going in and out of the KAOS base is meant to be sturdy metal, but it wobbles like a prop when the KAOS agent drives off it.

Supersonic Boom - S3-E6

Other mistake: During the scene in the prison cell, the first shot has a hair sticking to the bottom right of the screen the entire time.

Supersonic Boom - S3-E6

Other mistake: In one of the car wash fight scenes, two men accidentally kill one another. According to the angle of one of the guns, you can kill someone without actually hitting them.

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.

Maxwell Smart, Private Eye - S3-E5

Other mistake: At the Alledon Arms shootout scene, an agent sneaks behind Max and Max shoots him dead, but at the angle that Max fired, the bullet would have hit the concrete, not the man.

Suggested correction: Assuming the submitter meant Max (since there is no Ma character in this episode), the agents aren't firing at anything in the room other than the Cube of Safety, which isn't made of a spark-able material nor would it "explode".

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.
