Mean Streets (1973)

Continuity mistake: During two successive scenes, when Michael and Tony con the boys looking for fireworks and also when they're with Charlie at the movie theater, Tony has the taped bandage around his right pinky and hand. The problem is in the next scene at the pool hall Tony's hand is fine, and it's during the brawl in this pool hall that Tony injures his pinky, which requires it to be bandaged later on. (00:23:45)

It's All Downhill From Here - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: While Ralph is invisible in order to eavesdrop on Klein, when Klein makes a crack about Bill being little league, Ralph deliberately knocks the cup in Klein's hand so the coffee spills on his shirt, tie, vest, and jacket in the closeup, but in the next shot Klein is spotless. Additionally, Klein has a black pocket square and the cup he holds is white styrofoam, but in the closeup the pocket square is gone and he holds a white mug. (00:27:50)

Who's Woo in America - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: At the rec center, when Ralph enters the reserved racquetball court two men force him onto the floor for another polygraph. Ralph's wearing striped socks, blue shorts with white stripes, a blue half-shirt with red/white stripes that bares his midriff, but in the closeups as Ralph sits down and has the polygraph hooked up, all the stripes on his clothing have vanished and Ralph's abdomen suddenly has a significant amount of dark hair.
