Other mistake: When Cable is walking towards Warren Worthington's cabin at the beginning of the episode, he does not leave any footprints in the snow. (00:02:00)

Slave Island - S1-E7
Plot hole: When the Leader says "Take me to my car at once!", one of his guards goes to open the door to the room only to have Cable shoot the door with his plasma rifle. The Leader then says "The other way you fool!" and everyone in the room starts running for the windows that Cable shot out a few minutes earlier, which happened to be the only other way out of the room. As evidenced earlier from when Cable shot the windows out, that particular floor appears to be 8 stories up, so if everyone in the room exited through the windows, they would have all fallen to their deaths as all of them were regular humans with no superpowers.

Other mistake: When the Leader is backing away from Cable, his right hand and right foot pass through a puddle of water, but the water does not react to the movements. (00:19:05)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After Gambit jumps out of the moving hovercar, it comes to a stop in the middle of the road. When the shot changes, the hovercar is suddenly on the left side of the road (note the yellow lane dividers), and is no longer casting a shadow. (00:12:00)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Gambit tries to grab the gun, Cable stops him by placing his left foot on top of it. When the shot changes, it is now Cable's right foot that is on the gun. Additionally, yellow lane dividers in the middle of the road disappear when Gambit first reaches for the gun, and then reappear a couple of shots later. (00:12:15)

The Relic (1997)
Question: Why was the relic being shipped to the Field Museum in Chicago via boat? What would be the point of sending the relic to the United States and then placing it on a boat and shipping it to Chicago by way of the Illinois River? In the book, the museum is instead located in New York, so it makes sense for the shipment to arrive by boat from South America, but there would be no possible way to get to Chicago straight from South America by boat, so the relic had to have been on land at one point. Placing it on a boat just seems like a contrived way to have the monster kill the crew members and create a mystery for the police as to how it happened.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Trivia: When being played on basic cable or regular TV, John McClane's catchphrase "Yippee ki yay, mother fucker!" is sometimes oddly redubbed as "Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon!" Falcon is the call sign for General Esperanza's original flight, which half explains the odd wording.

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Mary Loves Scoochie (1) - S6-E17
Revealing mistake: The sword fight between Dick and the Black Knight was sped up in order to make their movements look more competent. Note the extras in the background moving unusually fast.

Trivia: Jeremy Ratchford, the actor who voiced Banshee, would go on to portray the same character in the 1996 made-for-television film "Generation X."

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Storm is asleep, her lightning bolt earrings appear to be connected through the back of her earlobes. When she wakes up, the earrings are now on the front of her earlobes. (00:20:15)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Cyclops is trying to radio Professor X from the Blackbird, there is a window immediately to Cyclops' right. When the shot changes, Jean Grey is suddenly seated on Cyclops' right. (00:20:00)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Audio problem: When the giant wave of water from the burst dam is heading towards Cable, Hodge and the Leader, Cable begins laughing maniacally. After the wave crashes down on them and floods the area, you can still hear Cable laughing even though he should be submerged underwater. (00:19:25)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When the Genosha guard tries pulling a gun on Cable, you can see his headgear only extends down to his jawline and chin. When Cable picks him up and throws him, his headgear is now also covering his entire neck. (00:19:00)

Revealing mistake: When Storm is saying "There will be thousands of them," her mouth briefly disappears from her face. (00:16:45)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Cable shoots his exploding plasma blast at the conference table, the blast is shown coming through the window from a downward angle. However, the tree branch that Cable is subsequently shown to be using as his vantage point is lower than the window, so the blast could not have come at a downward angle. (00:14:45)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Other mistake: After Cable shoots his exploding plasma blast at the table that Gyrich, Trask, Hodge and the Leader are sitting at, the former three all evacuate the area while the Leader is still shown to be sitting at the table only a moment before it explodes, but he does not suffer any ill effects from the concussive blast or wooden shrapnel. (00:14:45)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is carrying Jubilee over his shoulder, the placement of his hand alternates between being on the small of her back, the back of her thighs, or her butt depending on the shot. (00:13:55)

X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Audio problem: When the decapitated Sentinel body crashes to the ground, the sound of it crashing against the concrete is too soft for its size. It sounds like something slamming against a metal appliance when it should sound more like a car crashing into a wall, only louder. (00:13:50)
16th Nov 2015
X-Men (1992)
Slave Island - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After Gambit unlocks his collar, he lets the collar fall to the ground. In the next shot, the collar is visible on the ground a couple feet in front of him. In the shot after that when he retrieves the gun, the collar is no longer visible on the ground. (00:12:50)

Chosen answer: Cost of shipping would be much cheaper. However, the Mississippi River System is connected to the Illinois Waterway, which continues to the Great Lakes Waterway. This means Chicago is connected to the Gulf of Mexico (which is accessible to South America). There would be no need to ever be on the road.
