Continuity mistake: Jamie and Adam are shooting at Police badges to see which one would potentially stop a bullet. When they get to the third badge, it is held up to the camera. It says 'Jamie Hyneman' on the badge. The badge is then shot, and shown again to the camera. This time the engraved writing on the badge has changed to 'Adam Savage'.
Factual error: The crash took place in 1987. When we hear about the American salvage company that was hired to find the wreckage, we see a scene of traffic in Washington, DC that has a model of Lincoln Town Car that was not produced until 1998.
