Continuity mistake: When helping the foreign family to fight off the walkers, Daryl pulls the zombie back into the car and slams its head in the boot door, covering his hands in blood in the process. However, for the rest of the scenes in the episode and in shots directly afterwards, his hands appear totally clean without him doing anything to clean them. (00:22:00)
Continuity mistake: After the part where Merle and Daryl save the people on The Bridge, Merle gets agitated at Daryl and grabs him and rips his shirt. On the left side of Daryl's back, he has tattoos on his right side, but as he walks away he suddenly has the tattoos on his left side. (00:25:50)
Continuity mistake: When the Governor first attacks the prison, he is standing on the driver's side but in front of the truck. Next, Michonne aims at the truck and now the black guy who was always with Martinez is shot dead on the driver's side. Then after that, you see he's alive again on the passenger side right before the other truck comes crashing through the gates with all the walkers inside.
Suggested correction: The man you're taking about is Shumpert aka "Bowman." He's was not shot dead. He dove for cover and is still alive. In fact, he's in at least a half dozen more episodes, including in season 4.
Continuity mistake: When Rick, Michonne, and Carl go out on a run, in the first shot, Rick starts to roll the window down so he can shoot a walker. The next shot the window is up, and he rolls it down again. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: When Carl shoots the masked man who is found to be wearing body armor, Rick pulls up the armor to find the bruised ribs of a Caucasian male. When the assailant is unmasked however we see that the Caucasian male has magically transformed into an African American man. (00:11:20)
Continuity mistake: When Rick, Carl, and Michonne are leaving King County (Rick's home), they must travel around a wreck involving two cars and an overturned RV. They drive along one side of the road. When the camera angle changes, they are on the opposite side of the road going the other way. (00:41:30)
Arrow on the Doorpost - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: In the final scene of the episode, Rick and Hershel are talking while looking out over the prison yard. Near the end of the conversation, Rick squarely faces Hershel and says "I'm hoping you could talk me out of it." The camera then changes to Hershel, and Rick is now immediately facing 90° to his left looking over the yard. When the camera changes back to Rick, he is now looking directly at Hershel.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Merle is the in big box late 80's chevy with big 20-22 inch rims he is shown driving it in the barn yard drinking, playing music, and zombies following him. The shot changes a few times within the same scene with the big rims on, in one shot the car is shown with him driving it but the stock rims (15") are on the car, the paint of the car looks a little darker too. Then the shot changes again while he is still driving it and the big rims are on the chevy again. The shot that shows the stock rims is a pretty fast shot so it could be easy to miss.
Continuity mistake: When Andrea is attempting to retrieve the pliers on the floor she picks them up between her toes with the head facing up. In the next show the pliers can be seen with the head facing down when she grabs them with her hand.
30 Days Without an Accident - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: After Michonne gives Rick the shaver, he has his gloves in his right hand and the shaver in the left. As he walks up to the prison, he throws the shaver away on the ground. He continues up to where Carl is brushing the horse, still with his gloves in his right hand and left hand empty. He remains like this whilst talking to Carl, but as he pats the horse, then walks away, he has the shaver in his right hand and the gloves in his back right pocket. (00:11:44 - 00:12:14)
Internment - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: When Rick gets out of his car and talks to Maggie inside the prison gates. The car door opens and shuts throughout the conversation.
Internment - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: In the previous episode, Rick and Carol are shown hunting through houses for household drugs to fight the flu. They even make a mention that most of what they find expired a year ago, but to bring it back to Hershel anyway, and let him decide about it. But in this episode, Rick returns, talks to Hershel, and no mention is made about him bringing medicine. Considering how important it was to fight the flu with any means possible, Rick would not have let Carol drive off with the potentially life-saving drugs.
Too Far Gone - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Governor and his group show up and bomb one of the guard towers to get Rick and his group's attention, when Rick first runs outside the guard tower on the far left is on fire, but when Rick walks down to the fence to talk to the Governor the guard tower in front by the front gate is the one on fire. And it switches back and forth between the two. (00:16:05 - 00:19:15)
Too Far Gone - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When Hershel crawls away and the fight begins, in the long shots of the governor's men Hershel's body can not be seen next to the cars, this is from all angles.
Too Far Gone - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: After The Governor shows up at the prison with his arsenal, Hershel and Michonne are taken out of the vehicles and placed kneeling on the grass side by side, about 1 arm's length apart from each other. But when Rick makes his way down to the fence to talk with The Governor, Hershel and Michonne are now about 4 arms' lengths away from each other. This goes back and forth for a few shots.
Continuity mistake: The message in chalk Carl writes on the door changes from what we see him do. For example, he writes something on the middle part of the door (which doesn't look like the word "shoe") and then doesn't write on the inset part of the door below that. When we see the message, the inset part now has some writing on it.
Continuity mistake: When Glenn is with Tara and getting ready to move out, he puts on his helmet and you can see it is strapped on. When the shot changes, he swings the fence open and you can see his strap is lose. The camera angle changes again and the strap is back on again. (00:38:15)
Continuity mistake: When Glenn wakes up in the prison you can see two chairs leaning against the walls behind him when he stands up. These are still present in the second shot, but when the camera moves back for the third shot they have mysteriously disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When Glenn wakes up we see the door behind him is flush with the concrete, but when he goes inside you see stairs he had to descend to get to the door. There is also no scene in the entire prison episodes where an outer orange door is preceded by steps, they are all flush. Also If you look at the door behind him you see two folding chairs leaning up against the door. When he turns to open the door the chairs are gone.
Continuity mistake: When Carl and Michonne are eating breakfast, and she is rolling up the sleeves to her new white shirt, it is untied. When the scene cuts to her sitting down the shirt is tied at the back. (00:03:20)
