The Punisher picture

Virtue of the Vicious - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: The first time we see the raid on the senator's room, 2 security guards are shot in the head. The blood spray from the second one emerges a fraction of a second before the gun fires. The second time the raid is played out, everything happens exactly the same way, but this time the spray matches the gunshot. (00:11:10)

The Toll - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: Mason brings his unnamed son to the lake and acts like he is going to drown him. The baby is noticeably a doll in all but the scene where he kisses it. It is obvious from the way he is carrying it as well as the lack of movement.

Imposters - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: Towards the end, when Luca and Deacon are bringing the criminal they caught to one of the cars, he has his hands tied up over the hands themselves and not at the wrists, making that kind of restraint completely ineffective. (00:38:30)

Shhh! - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Andi walks into the library (this is not Andi's dream) it cuts to the librarian sitting at her desk and we can see the shot is flipped - note the bookcase and the librarian's buttons. (00:10:40)

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: A satellite photo is shown of Byran Mills' house in the first third or so of the episode. Later on in the episode, towards the end, a satellite photo of the cartel's secret landing strip is shown. They are the same photos, only one is zoomed in a little more than the other. (00:16:10 - 00:35:30)

Baggage - S2-E3

Revealing mistake: June goes to an airstrip to fly to Canada, but all the abandoned aircraft on the field are ex Canadian Air Force, meaning it was probably filmed in Canada.

Tip of the Spear - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Supposedly in Liberia, the team takeoff in a helicopter. However, when they take off, the camera reveals the airfield, where several general aviation aircraft are parked. This is highly unlikely to be in Liberia, also the night lights seem to be somewhere in Cali (perhaps LA)). (00:27:20)

Revealing mistake: The scene is set in Boston, MA, USA, but at a murder location, a European-style circular power outlet is visible through the glass doors at the bottom of the concrete wall. (00:01:20)
