Continuity mistake: Gordie shoots a hole in a trashcan with Chris's father's pistol and Chris tells Vern and Teddy about it when they all meet up later at the junkyard. Later, Gordie narrates that Chris hadn't mentioned the pistol to them and that he guessed it would be their secret.

Different Seasons: The Body
27th Aug 2008
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Factual error: Lt. Albright shows Monk and Natalie the "USS Seattle", a "Class 4 Submarine". US sub classes have names, not numbers, so she would be Los Angeles, Seawolf or Virginia class.
27th Aug 2008
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Factual error: Monk borrows Lt. Albright's sidearm to prove a point. All weapons on a submarine are locked in a small arms locker until needed, not carried around by officers. Further, medics are traditionally not issued firearms.
27th Aug 2008
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Character mistake: Commander Whitaker asks what Monk and Natalie are doing on his "ship." No submarine commander would ever refer to his vessel that way. He would refer to it as his "boat."

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Is Underwater - S7-E5
Factual error: The standard issue pistol for the US Navy is the 9mm Beretta 92F, not the Walther P38 as shown.
5th Aug 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: Nicolai Malthus' Thor has the cockpit mounted in the center top of the mech. The Thor's cockpit should be mounted on the right shoulder.
5th Aug 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: Clan warriors should close bidding for a battle with the ritual response "Bargained Well and Done". All the Clan warriors in the show say it backwards: "Well Bargained and Done".
30th Jul 2008
Crocodile (2000)
Continuity mistake: Twice, the croc stops several feet from its victim and opens its mouth. In the next shot the victim is in the croc's mouth, though it is sitting in the same place. Does the crocodile have a tractor beam?
16th Jul 2008
Lost Destiny
Factual error: Jade Falcon Elemental Taman Malthus refers to needing one more warrior to complete his Star of 5. A Star of Elementals is 25 warriors. In Clan military organization, 5 Elementals is a Point. 5 Points per Star.
16th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: The Strikers steal several suits of Elemental armor in a few minutes and use it to escape after they are discovered. It takes 15 minutes to put on battle armor unaided and that's for an Elemental trained in its use. The armor is custom fit for a 6 and a half to 7 foot Elemental but 5 foot Val wears one. Elemental armor is also protected by voice recognition and code phrase software. Needless to say there's no way they could just walk out with 3 suits.
16th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Well Bargained and Done - S1-E2
Character mistake: Tybus says he has a lance of 5 mechs. In Battletech, a lance is 4 mechs. While a Clan star does have 5 mechs, Tybus is an Inner Sphere character.
16th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: Nicolai Malthus' Thor takes 11 medium laser hits from the Somerset garrison forces and emerges completely unscathed. 11 hits would have severely damaged his mech.
16th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: On Trellwan, Victor Davion piloted a Victor and Galen Cox a Crusader. The cartoon has Victor in a Mauler and Galen in a Centurion. The Mauler is a particularly silly choice as it is a new Kurita (the Davion families traditional enemies) mech that was not in production during the Clan invasion of Trellwan.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: Several times we see Jade Falcon warriors piloting a Hunchback IIC into battle alongside Omnimechs. Frontline warriors pilot Omnimechs exclusively. Normal Clan mechs are relegated to second line troops and freebirths.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: The Star League Defense Force did not begin the Exodus from Camelot Command, but from the New Samarkand system which is hundreds of light years away.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: Clan warriors are shown referring to their opponents by their last and or full names (ie "Adam Steiner" or "Hawkins" referring to Miles Hawkins). No Clan warrior would do this as Clan warriors must earn a last name (known as a Bloodname). Referring to another person this way confers great honor on them and is reserved for fellow Blooded warriors.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: The First Sommerset Strikers did not discover Camelot Command. Snord's Irregulars did.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: The Jade Falcon insignia is wrong. It's a 3/4 profile of a jade green falcon carrying a katana in its talons, not a head-on view of a neon green falcon.
9th Jul 2008
Battletech (1995)
Factual error: One of the Clan Wolf Elementals calls another "Lieutenant." The Clans do not have that rank. It should be either "Point Commander" or "Star Commander".
27th Jun 2008
Home Improvement (1991)
Tanks For The Memories - S5-E15
Factual error: Tim accidentally fires an M2 .50 machine gun while on a tank. Ricochets are shown sparking all over other tanks while people dive for cover. A) Bullets don't spark when they ricochet, and B) the M2 had a blank firing adapter installed; it couldn't have been firing bullets.
