Continuity mistake: Jasmine's friend at the strip club shows off a sign she made. It changes design and grows creases. This is more evident in the special edition, as the scene is longer.

A Portrait for Troian - February 7, 1971 - S2-E11

Factual error: When the second earthquake happens, certainly we would see evidence of the water shaking but the water is calm. In a real earthquake, the water would be sloshing around.

Revealing mistake: The scene with Beethoven in bed with George features a person in a dog suit. It's most obvious when the dog turns around in the sheets and has its mouth wide open. It's obviously not a real dog until the closer shots.

Revealing mistake: Multiple times during the final chase, tire marks on roadways are visible where multiple takes of the stunts happened.

Continuity mistake: After the pimp is killed, Harry and his partner follow a couple of cars across the Golden Gate Bridge back toward the crime scene. The sky changes between shots of the vehicles.

Continuity mistake: The scenes at the quarry were obviously filmed on different days. When the kid is being held hostage, the sky in the background is different from what it was minutes ago.

Other mistake: Due to the way the opening titles were created, likely with an optical printer on plastic or glass, dust or other particles are very visible when they fade into the shot.

Visible crew/equipment: Viking's goons head to Coxman's house and step out of their vehicles. In the front vehicle, the camera is reflected in the glass of the driver's side door. It lingers there for a time.

manthabeat ★

Factual error: It's a hard winter everywhere is film except in the scenes that take place in Denver. In one scene when Coxman kidnaps Viking's son, there are full leaves on trees and cherry blossoms. Moments prior there's a frozen tundra shot coming into Denver.

Revealing mistake: When the three-wheeled vehicle hits the dozer and explodes, the dozer driver isn't even in the vehicle.

manthabeat ★

Visible crew/equipment: When the big dozer is chasing the cooks, we see the driver. A perfect reflection of the camera is visible in the glass.

Revealing mistake: When the boys shoot the flaming arrows at the workers tent, it's painfully obvious they land in spots covered in fuel.

Visible crew/equipment: When the kids slam the bus window down on Ernest's fingers, we see a shot inside. The camera is reflected in the window.

Diverged - S10-E21

Continuity mistake: The hole in the wall Carol makes with the knife grows, depending on what angle we see it from.

manthabeat ★

Revealing mistake: During the opening chase, as the truck driver is hitting vehicles, there is a front on shot. The stunt driver is visible. It's not the regular driver we just saw.
