Darkness on the Edge of Town - S1-E22
Character mistake: At one point Felicity says, "There's at least a teraflop of data to go through." Felicity is a computer genius, so she should know that a teraflop is a measurement of processing power, not data storage. She should have said "terabyte."
Continuity mistake: In season one, Sara is a brunette in Oliver's flashbacks. In this season's flashbacks, she's a blonde (most noticeably the ones aboard the Queen's Gambit).
Revealing mistake: When Oliver is threatening Mathis' lawyer, he shoots him in the shoulder. When Oliver grabs the arrow and pushes it through the shoulder, there is a significant difference between the angles. Where the arrow is coming out, it is practically horizontal, but in the chest, it is at a thirty degree angle.
Factual error: There is no way Laurel Lance would have been allowed on the prosecution team for Moira Queen's murder trial. Due to the facts that she both dated and as a lawyer represented the defendant's son, the defendant's daughter used to intern for her, and her boyfriend was one of the people killed in the Glades, it would have taken all of two seconds for the court to have her removed if she didn't willingly recuse herself, since her presence would be a major conflict of interest.
Three Ghosts - S2-E9
Factual error: When Cyrus punches through the windshield of the truck, it shatters into hundreds of little pieces, like safety glass. Windshields are not made out of safety glass.
Revealing mistake: When Oliver breaks into the building and draws his bow, there is a laser pointed at the tip of his arrow. He is told that if he moves a muscle and removes the tip of the arrow out of the of the laser that he will die. But shortly afterwards, just before Oliver looks over at the TV, you can see the arrow tip move out of the way of the laser and see the laser reach the other side of the wall for a split second. (00:29:10 - 00:29:50)
Factual error: In this episode Barry uses rat poison to save Oliver, from a poison that coagulated blood. Though rat poison contains anticoagulants like Warfarin, this is medically wrong because, It takes at least 1-3 days for Warfarin to be effective and it may even cause excess of coagulation during this time. It could never have saved Oliver instantaneously. What Oliver needed was heparin. So Barry in real world instead of curing Oliver might just have made him much worse.
Continuity mistake: When Oliver tries on his mask for the first time, he is not wearing eye make-up. When the mask is on in the next shot, he suddenly is.
Deliberate mistake: The "chest compressions" Diggle performs on Oliver at the beginning of this episode are laughable. He's barely applying any pressure at all, and his arms are almost straight out in front of him instead of straight down. I would have called this a character mistake since Diggle really ought to know better, but this is more of a safety issue than an oversight; real chest compressions tend to break ribs.
Continuity mistake: When Bronze Tiger is stealing the prototype earthquake device, when the truck is leaving Merlin's garage, the street shown has street lights and a factory building, not a country estate driveway. (00:17:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When Slade brings the drink in the forest (referring to Billy Wintergreen), you can see shadows of people walking upstairs in the background behind a big white curtain. (00:07:30)
Suggested correction: It's not a crew member, it's wind.
The Man Under the Hood - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Thea running out of Slade's car, she closes the door. In the second shot, you can see the door of the car open. (00:02:05)
The Magician - S3-E4
Revealing mistake: When Oliver meets Thea at the Grind and Jot Cafe (Which looks unsurprisingly like CC Jitters) you can see the cups on the table are from CC Jitters. (00:20:50)
Continuity mistake: Ra's al Ghul stabs Oliver through his chest, just below his left pec. When he pulls out the sword, a wound is visible. However, seconds later, the wound is absent. (00:41:05)
Left Behind - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In the previous episode Ra's al Ghul stabs Oliver through his chest, just below his left pec. When he pulls out the sword, a wound is visible. (However, seconds later, the wound is absent - different mistake). In this episode he is shown with a wound much lower (in his lower abdomen) and also later, with a bandage around his waist instead of his chest. (00:09:30 - 00:41:30)
Left Behind - S3-E10
Visible crew/equipment: During a flashback with Oliver and Maseo, they are on a rooftop trying to break in to the building next door by means of the pulley system on the bow. Maseo is shown lining up a shot with his sniper and in the background one can see a crew member's face looking over his shoulder. (00:13:30)
Suggested correction: There are other ARGUS agents with Oliver and Maseo. That is one of them.
Factual error: General Shrieve's rank is on upside down. (00:04:20)
Al Sah-Him - S3-E21
Character mistake: Diggle turns to Nyssa and says "I think what she's trying to say is, Oliver would never do anything to hurt you, Felicity," incorrectly addressing Nyssa as "Felicity." (00:14:50)
Suggested correction: When Diggle is walking away from Felicity, he is still talking to her but it looks like he is talking to Nyssa.
People have already tried to correct this mistake. It is valid. In the scenes prior, Nyssa says Oliver will do what it takes to kill her and Oliver says "tonight, Nyssa Al Ghul faces justice." Nyssa is there to bring the team the news that Oliver is going to try to kill her. Felicity says "Oliver wouldn't", meaning Oliver wouldn't try to kill Nyssa. Diggle says "I think what she's [she being Felicity] trying to say to say is that Oliver would never do anything to hurt you" [you being Nyssa whom Oliver is going to try to kill]. He is meant to say "Nyssa." Otherwise the entire line means Nyssa or Laurel are there to convince Felicity that Oliver would never do anything to hurt Felicity.
Restoration - S4-E3
Factual error: Felicity apparently extracts DNA from the tooth of one of Damien Darhk's men. She then realises that the DNA lacks "half of the genetic markers" by looking at an optic microscope. Skipping the fact that this sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, you certainly cannot analyse genetic markers by simply looking a tooth with an optic microscope. (00:11:05)
Suggested correction: No science behind this statement.
What is it supposed to mean?
Blood Debts - S4-E10
Continuity mistake: When Conklin is whipping Oliver during an island flashback, the wounds from the whipping are visible, but after Oliver threatens to shoot himself unless Taiana remains unharmed he hands the gun to Reiter, and we get a good look at Oliver's back, wound-free.
