(2 votes)

Moral Midgetry - S3-E8

Other mistake: When waiting at Lake Trout to ambush Marlo, the Barksdale crew are in the same car that Marlon was driving round earlier in the series (same number plate: 107M703) It is visible as they (Avon and his crew) drive away from the scene after Chris has shot into the car. (00:51:02)

Mission Accomplished - S3-E12

Revealing mistake: At the start, while looking over the corpse from a ground level shot, the corpse is dressed differently from the overhead shot, and is very obviously breathing. (00:01:50)

Reformation - S3-E10

Visible crew/equipment: During the opening sequence when two hoodlums are walking out of the convenience store, a lighting rig and crew can be seen on the right-most part of the frame. (00:02:15)

Back Burners - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Poot first jumps up after Snoop rakes the corner, the blood stain his shirt has absorbed is much larger, and singular - consistent with lying in a pool of blood not coming from your body on a flat surface. When the frame changes, there are now three blood stains, each much smaller. (00:51:52 - 00:52:56)

Avon Barksdale: I ain't no suit-wearin' businessman like you... you know I'm just a gangsta I suppose.

-30- - S5-E10

Question: What is Valchek's last sentence in the show as he is being promoted to commissioner by Nerese Campbell? Looks like a joke, but no subtitles and it is pretty difficult to hear.

Chosen answer: As he's trying on his new hat, Valchek says, with a smile, "fits like a glove!"
