Factual error: When Jane is changing the tire on his Citroen DS 20 he uses a car-jack, but because of that car's hydropneumatic suspension you don't need one. (00:00:19)
Suggested correction: Good one! The DS 20 is a fantastic car and you CAN use the high-lift suspension to lift the car up to change the tire, but you still need the jack stand - supplied in the Citroen kit - to keep the tires off the ground for changing. Most DS owners find it much easier to just use a regular jack.
Other mistake: Bob Kirkland shouldn't be in the Red John list, because when Luralie told Jane that he shook hands with Red John he hadn't yet met Bob Kirkland.
Continuity mistake: The murderer is running full speed directly at Grace, who moves to intercept him. In the next scene she is shown bringing him down from behind.
Character mistake: During the Texas Hold 'Em poker game, George Holiday says, "What do we have on 4th street here?" But there is no 4th street in Hold 'Em. That's a term for a stud variant game when the 4th card is dealt.
Continuity mistake: When Cho finds Archie's notebook under the bed, he turns to near the end and starts reading Archie's entry. But the position of where Cho has the notebook open changes, depending on the camera angle.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Grace and Rigsby kiss, they separate and Grace says she's going to leave. In the next shot, their foreheads are touching.
Continuity mistake: When we first see Rigsby interview Lindsay, she says "Royston would never hurt Mary Beth. Not in a million years, if that's what you're thinking." Later in the episode when this scene is shown again in flashback, she says "Royston would never hurt Mary Beth if that's what you're thinking, not in a million years."
Red Hair and Silver Tape - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After examining Melanie's body but before jumping out of the ditch, Lisbon takes off the rubber glove from her right hand. In the next shot, the glove is back on. (00:01:40)
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning, there's a square piece of board on the dead body's back, on which to support the knife.
Continuity mistake: Lisbon has just returned from giving a presentation at the local school. She sits down at her desk, picks up two sheets of paper, and holds them with both hands. In the next shot, she's only holding one sheet with just her right hand. (00:01:25)
Continuity mistake: Jane ordered the leather couch he is later seen napping on for the office in a previous season when he made a deal to be able to get a couch (only upper-level officers were allowed to have couches). Since this episode was a flashback to the first time Jane met and worked with the team, the couch he falls asleep on would not have been there, as that event had not yet happened.
Orange Blossom Ice Cream - S7-E3
Revealing mistake: Right after Jane and Lisbon rumble Erica Flynn and send video of her being arrested back to the FBI, Cho enters and asks to speak with Vega. In the shot of Vega sitting down, one of the computers in the office (centre of frame) has an Apple logo on the back that the production team forgot to cover up with a sticker like all the others.
Continuity mistake: Lisbon is telling the CDC agent that the scientist's death is a homicide. The agent has an ear piece in his left ear in close-up shots. In all other shots, the piece isn't in his ear.
Continuity mistake: Dale Blakely punches Patrick in the nose for talking to his wife. In pain, Patrick first holds his nose with his right hand. Cut and it's his left hand. The hands alternate throughout the scene. (00:28:45)
Continuity mistake: At the end, Lisbon gives Christine's father a card and tells him to get help for his alcoholism. The way she holds the card differs between shots.
Continuity mistake: The victim's father comes face to face with Flipper at CBI and he lunges towards Flipper. Lisbon stops him. At first her right hand is on his left shoulder. Cut to the shot from behind, the same hand is now under his left armpit.
Every Rose Has Its Thorn - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Patrick is talking to the widow Erica Flynn at the police station, when she first leaves the interrogation room the zipper in the back of her dress is down about four inches. As she is walking to the elevator, when she goes into the elevator and turns, you see that it is now zipped up completely.
Continuity mistake: This happens right at the very end at the hotel room in Mexico. Jane and Lisbon are sitting on the bed and the cellphone rings. It's Red John calling. There's a beer bottle next to the phone on a round table. At first the label faces towards the middle of the table. When Jane picks the phone up, the label now faces the other way. (00:43:20)
