Dexter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Episode 3 begins with Dexter at the beach during a funeral. He is wearing a pair of stylish sunglasses. At the start of episode 4, Sgt Doakes is investigating a crime scene at the beach. He is wearing the same pair of sunglasses. Given the tense relationship between the two characters, it is unlikely they would share accessories.

Problem Dog - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Skyler makes Walt return the Challenger to the car dealership, but Walt decides to take it to a parking lot and spin donuts with it. Just before he crashes, he's spinning clockwise, starts to lose control, and tries to correct it by turning the steering wheel sharply to the left. However, from the overhead shot, the marks on the pavement indicate he was spinning counter-clockwise and tried to correct by turning right. (00:05:50)

Unity Day - S1-E9

Factual error: Bellamy tries to fire his assault rifle twice, but because of a dud round, it fails both times. There is an audible click each time he tries. The first attempt there would be a click, because the firing pin was charged when the last round was ejected. However, without that charge either automatically when a round is ejected or manually pulling the charging handle, the second attempt would have been silent since the firing pin was not engaged. (00:35:45)

Trivia: In the movie, Buffalo Bill cocks his revolver and inadvertently warns Clarice he is about to fire. The book explains this was a part of his ritual to terrorize his victims before killing them. He would follow them in the dark basement until his got bored and then cock his gun so they'd know they were about to die. He expected Clarice to react the same, but she instinctively shot him before he realised what was happening. (01:49:00)

Revealing mistake: At the book fair, Marcus briefly pauses to listen to Derek Jacobi's book reading. When he walks away, the camera follows an extra to her seat. If you watch when she enters the scene from behind the sign, the extra hesitates until the actor playing Marcus walks away, which is apparently her cue. (01:43:45)

Something Beautiful - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: The Salamancas brothers burn Arturo's body inside his car. When the brothers leave, there is a scenic tree a short distance down the road from the burning car. It balances the shot. When the camera angle changes to a wide view, there are no trees anywhere near the car.

Revealing mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, an alien blasts Lieutenant Smalls and he drops his rifle. The weapon wobbles, revealing it's a rubber prop rifle. (00:01:55)

Nobody Knows Anything - S1-E11

Character mistake: When Tony tells Dr. Melfi he feels as though a safe might fall on his head, she replies, "a feeling of pending doom." A woman of her intellect and education should know the proper word is "impending." "Pending" means something awaiting a conclusion. "Impending" means about to occur.

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Mike sets a trap to taint a cartel's truck with drug residue. First, he inserts a bag of cocaine in a shoe, then throws the pair of shoes over a telephone wire. His plan is to shoot the hanging shoe so the cocaine powder pours out onto the truck as it passes under the wire. However, when he inserts the drugs it is in the right shoe, but later, it is the left shoe he shoots and has the powder in it. (00:29:30 - 00:38:00)

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Walt is driving down a deserted road singing "A Horse with No Name." You can see the roadway behind him through the hole in the headrest. At first, the road is empty. But then a white vehicle quickly approaches. The camera angle changes and there are no vehicles behind him, but a police car coming from the opposite direction passes and makes a u-turn. When the camera angle is back inside Walt's car, the white vehicle turns out to be the police car that just made a u-turn. (00:01:00)

Over - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: With the camera angle aimed up through the pan, Jesse cracks an egg into a transparent corning skillet. The yolk breaks and starts to run. The camera angle changes to above the pan as Jesse cracks a second egg. Both egg yolks are now intact. (00:16:00)

Clear - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Rick, Carl, and Michonne are leaving King County (Rick's home), they must travel around a wreck involving two cars and an overturned RV. They drive along one side of the road. When the camera angle changes, they are on the opposite side of the road going the other way. (00:41:30)

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: Dale threatens to shoot Shane, and Shane walks right up to him until the barrel of Dale's rifle is against his chest. Just before Shane walks up to him, you can see the imprint of the rifle muzzle on Shane's shirt from an earlier take. (00:32:50)

Trivia: There is only one bathroom in Walter White's house, and that is in the master bedroom.

Goodbye Kitty - S5-E3

Character mistake: When Otto tells Francis he has to put a horse down, Francis objects saying he's never killed anything bigger than a poodle, and that was an accident. However, in season 4 (episode 11), Francis accidentally killed Otto's pet cow. (00:11:30)

Circle of Friends - S1-E7

Audio problem: When Deb tells Angel to "look up" warning him of the security camera, Angel moves his lips as though he's talking but there is no audible dialogue. A few seconds later, his lips stop moving but then his audible lines are spoken. Then, again, there is no dialogue, but his lips move again. (00:07:15)

One Minute - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Just after Hank crushes Leonel's legs by backing into him, Marco starts shooting into Hank's Jeep. You can see Hank crawling into the rear seat to escape through the side door. But as soon as the camera angle changes to inside the Jeep, Hank is back in the driver's seat and crawls out again. (00:43:30)

The Palace in Flames - S1-E4

Audio problem: Escobar and his family climb into a helicopter. From the sound effects, the rotor is spinning full speed, but you can see from the shadow on ground the blades are not turning at all. (00:20:40)

Ring Finger - S1-E10

Other mistake: When Jackie uses the hammer to smash her Ring Finger, if you watch carefully the prop hammer actually hits her middle finger instead. (00:24:30)

djm

Continuity mistake: Tony Montana has a heart tattoo on his right hand between his thumb and index finger. The heart rotates 180° from when it's first seen to later in the movie. (00:05:45 - 01:41:50)
