Iron Man (1994)

Data In, Chaos Out - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Iron Man tells Mandarin that he's been waiting to meet him face to face, they are standing only a few yards apart. Mandarin retorts by saying "Then face this, Iron Man," while firing an energy blast from one of his rings at him. The shot changes and Iron Man is hit by the blast. With how fast the blast was shown traveling and the short distance between the two, Iron Man would have been hit by the blast before Mandarin could have finished saying his comeback line. (00:14:38)

Iron Man (1994)

Data In, Chaos Out - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Tony and Julia and the two tailing reporters walk past the press, they appear out of thin air. They should have either appeared from the courthouse door, which is closed the entire time, or from the left side of the screen. Instead, they appear on screen from just behind the reporter in the foreground, who is not obscuring enough of the screen for Tony and Julia to have gone unseen up until that point. (00:10:03)

Boy Meets World (1993)

Family Trees - S7-E12

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Eric talks about how Alan's Navy background will cause him to use any means necessary including torture to find out about his birthday party. Cory chimes in and states that Alan was a cook in the Coast Guard. The plot of the Season 1 episode Kid Gloves concerned a necklace Alan gave Cory for his birthday, which Alan himself earned for placing second in his weight class for boxing in the entire Navy. So either Cory doesn't correctly remember his own father's military background, or the show needlessly retconned it. (00:00:43)

Boy Meets World (1993)

For Love and Apartments - S7-E2

Other mistake: When Cory is trying to get Topanga's parents to reconcile, Topanga's mother mentions to her ex-husband about the "beautiful child they've made." Given that she says "child" in the singular, this can only refer to Topanga. However, the season 1 episode She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not established that Topanga had an older sister named Nebula. So the mistake is that either the show is acting like a character that was firmly established never existed, or Topanga's mother doesn't realise she has at least two children. (00:15:32)

Boy Meets World (1993)

My Baby Valentine - S6-E16

Other mistake: Early in the episode, Amy mentions that she is 7 1/2 months pregnant. This episode takes place around Valentine's Day, which means she would have become pregnant at either the end of June or the beginning of July. However, she revealed she was pregnant around the time Cory, Shawn and Topanga had their senior prom, which would have been around the end of May or beginning of June at the latest, prior to their high school Graduation. So she should be around 8 1/2 months pregnant at the least.

The X-Files (1993)

Trevor - S6-E17

Other mistake: This episode establishes that whenever Pinker Rawls passes through solid matter, his clothes remain behind, as anything he is wearing does not share his ability. However, late in the episode when Jackie throws the pot of boiling hot soup at him, the soup is shown to completely pass through his shirt, when it should have stuck to his shirt instead.

Boy Meets World (1993)

His Answer (1) - S6-E1

Other mistake: When Mr. Feeny is telling the story about Topanga and Cory in the first grade, he mentions that Shawn told him to leave them alone. However, the season 3 episode "City Slackers" established that Shawn wasn't in school with Cory and Topanga until he was around 12, and that he was in and out of 5 schools in different states before then. (00:18:40)

Livin' a Large Lie - S1-E22

Other mistake: Throughout the episode, characters make reference to Mark's Grandma having a wooden leg, including the woman herself. However, both of her legs are visible from the knee down several times in the episode, and you can see both of them are flesh and bone.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Other mistake: After Hulk re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, his pants are still intact. It's one thing for Bruce Banner's pants to stretch enough to remain in place when he turns into the Hulk. It's another for them to somehow not be burned off in re-entry.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When the Leader and his minions are escaping to the rooftop, the bomb detonator says there are only 30 seconds left. After Leader escapes and Hulk goes back into the building to get the bomb, the detonator says 10 seconds remain. While there is an argument to be made in movies and television not being strict with real time, in this instance, far too much happened onscreen for only 20 seconds to have passed. The heroes confronted the villains, one villain tried to talk a hero into coming with them, the police arrive on the scene, a battle happens on the rooftop, the villains escape with the police in pursuit, etc.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Bruce Banner is loosening his bow tie, he says it's cutting off the circulation to his head. If you look closely, you can see that it was loosely wrapped around his neck to begin with.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: The reporter in the opening scene mentions that the Chateau de Shae is 80 floors. The camera then pans up the entire length of the building, and you can see it is nowhere near 80 floors high. It's only roughly half that size.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Lou Ferrigno is walking away from the reporter, his movement suggests that he is walking on a downward slope, even though he is on level ground. He also disappears into thin air just before he would have stepped out of view.
