Character mistake: When Dana Appleton objects to Fletcher badgering Kenneth Falk, the judge overrules because Falk is Fletcher's witness. You still aren't allowed to badger your own witness in a trial, which the judge should certainly know.

Common mistakes
Factual error: Movies with trials in which the protagonist is on the verge of losing until a last minute whammy piece of evidence is brought up that ends up winning the trial in their favor (such as "Liar Liar"). In real life, lawyers have to add the evidence in before they are allowed to talk about it, and if the judge doesn't know where they are going with it, they will ask the lawyer to make a proffer.

Rejoice! I Am Ultimo Thy Deliverer - S1-E2

Rejoice! I Am Ultimo Thy Deliverer - S1-E2

Iron Man (1994)
Rejoice! I Am Ultimo Thy Deliverer - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Mandarin, Modok and Justin Hammer are scanning the ship, they are closely surrounded by equipment. When the shot changes and Mandarin is telling Justin Hammer that he is not unpredictable, much of the equipment is gone and the area is more wide open.

Iron Man (1994)
And the Sea Shall Give Up Its Dead - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man and War Machine are battling Titanium Man, they each grab one of his legs and flip him on his back, with the two shown to be standing near his feet afterwards. The shot then changes to show Iron Man jumping towards Titanium Man, even though he was already standing right by him. When the shot changes again, Iron Man is at Titanium Man's feet, but War Machine is nowhere to be seen.

Spider-Man (1994)

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6
Other mistake: Two scenes in this episode are shown out of order. First we see Captain America and Spider-Man lying on the ground near the dimensional vortex at the mercy of Chameleon and the Red Skull, with Cap flicking a rock across the room to distract Chameleon so that he and Spider-Man can re-engage them in battle. Shortly after, we see Spidey and Cap arriving at the dimensional vortex to configure it to defeat Electro, with Chameleon and Red Skull attacking them once Spidey has finished with the vortex, revealing they had been lying in wait knowing full well someone would figure out that the vortex was the key to stopping Electro.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6
Other mistake: When Spider-Man and Silver Sable are chasing the Red Skull and Kragov, they are able to deduce which direction they are going by identifying their footprints. However, Spidey and Silver Sable themselves don't leave footprints when walking over the same spot.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 4: The Six Fight Again - S5-E5
Factual error: When Kingpin has Robbie dangling from a helicopter, Spider-Man jumps onto the helicopter and tells Kingpin he promised to release Robbie, to which Kingpin replies sardonically with "And so I shall." Neither of these two should be able to hear each other over the helicopter rotors. Spider-Man doesn't possess super hearing and Kingpin is a normal human.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 4: The Six Fight Again - S5-E5
Stupidity: When the Kingpin has acquired all six keys required to access the doomsday device, he gives every member of the Insidous Six a key and promises them a share in the spoils, despite knowing that one of them is a traitor. He even acts dumbfounded when the Chameleon reveals himself to be the traitor moments later.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 4: The Six Fight Again - S5-E5
Character mistake: When the Red Skull reemerges from the vortex, he sees Chameleon and acknowledges him as his stepson. However, only moments before this, Kragov explicitly stated that the Chameleon was more like an adopted son to the Red Skull.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 4: The Six Fight Again - S5-E5
Audio problem: When Dr. Groitzig is saying "It's been so many years," he has his fingers in his mouth. While it's possible to speak with fingers in your mouth, your voice will sound quite different when doing so, and Groitzig's voice sounds normal.
