The Program picture

Continuity mistake: When Joe, the Heisman candidate quarterback, jumps his Harley off of a dirt cliff, one camera angle is from below as the bike is in the air. The angle clearly shows the bike is different from the Harley he started and finished with. Most noticeable is the fact that the tyres on the stunt bike are knobby enduro tyres, but later when the bike is stopped, you can see the smooth street tyres are back again.

Merlin picture

Continuity mistake: When Merlin is about to strike the ice on the lake with Excalibur he first brings the sword up over his head. When he brings it over his head, his finger is over the hilt of the sword but when he brings it back down and hits the ice with it, his finger isn't. You watch him the whole time so if he moved it you would have noticed.

Nowhere to Run picture

Continuity mistake: During the final fight between Jean-Claude and the bad guy, they are both holding onto a shotgun. Initially the barrel of the gun is in J-C's left hand. But without either of them letting go of the gun, suddenly the gun switches end-for-end and the stock of the gun is in J-C's left hand. It looks like they probably re-filmed the last of the fight so the bad guy could use his right hand to hit J-C with the butt-end of the gun.
