Continuity mistake: After John finishes arguing with the cyclist, the cyclist goes to remove his bottle from the roof of John's car and John starts driving, pulling the cyclist along with him a few feet.

Code of a Killer picture

Show generally

Factual error: The detective constable is addressed as "Sir" by uniformed constables. They actually hold the same rank. Detectives do not outrank uniformed officers in Britain.

Pilot: Part 1 - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Just before he sees his wife in the crowd, he lifts the sword up, revealing a blade with very dull edges (unsharpened replica sword), which magically becomes super sharp 1 minute later when he slices the guy's head off without any problems. (01:27:20)

The Last Man on Earth picture

No Bull - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Phil 2 is talking to Tandy in the stocks after the calf scene, his hands keep changing position depending on the camera angle. Sometimes his hand and wrist are straight down with fingers extended and other times he has his hand lifted up with his fingers tucked in.

Episode #5.7 - S5-E7

Other mistake: Two actors are standing on an ancient muddy track which shows the tyre prints of a modern vehicle, made probably by the 4WD camera car. (00:09:00 - 00:10:00)

Revolution 1 - S2-E4

Factual error: Hodiak is having breakfast at a dinner. There is a sign for breakfast with a price of $4.95. In 1967 the price for breakfast would have been around $1.25 or less. Minimum wage was $1.60 an hour and the price of a big Mac, for example, was $0.50 and fries $0.10. So a $4.95 price for breakfast is just ridiculous.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt picture

Kimmy Makes Waffles! - S1-E13

Plot hole: The plot hinges on Kimmy finding evidence against Pastor Wayne inside of the bunker, which she ends up doing. But there's absolutely no way the police didn't thoroughly comb the bunker for evidence after discovering it. In fact, it looks like it's barely been touched in the several months that have passed. Yes, the show has a sort-of whimsical "cartoon" logic... But even in that way, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Midwinter of the Spirit picture

Show generally

Factual error: Possibly a mistake from the novel on which the series is based, but although he later became Bishop of Hereford, St Thomas Cantilupe wasn't baptised in Herefordshire. He came from Buckinghamshire.

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the equivalent of Miss Debenham tells the Colonel that reaching the 12 people figure might be difficult, her hands and the secretarys are in a different position compared to the previous shot (hers are raised, his are crossed in a different pattern). (00:45:45)

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jamie and Dave are trying to drive around the old couple, you see Jamie's window is all the way down, but a few feet later when they run out of gas, we see Jamie roll his window down to talk to the couple.
