Revealing mistake: When Bond is being chased down the mountain by the chopper, at one point the camera does a close up. As it does, Bond appears to have a dark line around him, and the background is blurry. This is because he's on a sound stage, and the rest is projected behind him. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: In the car chase scene, the black car chasing Bond gets blasted by a motorcycle. The back of the car explodes and is has flames twice as tall as the car.

Knight Rider (1982)
Other mistake: The chemicals in the pool eat the seats, including the metal hardware, the steering wheel, and all the electronics, but the tires remain intact, and inflated.
Suggested correction: Molecular Bonded Shield protects KITT's exterior including tires, while his interior isn't protected. Therefore, his tires haven't been destroyed by acid.

Knight Rider (1982)
Other mistake: When KITT is heading off the two goons, he starts to chase them. As he does, you can see the hood behind the driver's seat, hiding the stunt driver. Also, when KITT is dropped into the pool of chemicals, you can easily tell that it's a model in a miniature set.

Continuity mistake: Carter and Newkirk have just taken the escapees down the tree trunk to the tunnels. When they go to open it, they clear off the snow to open it.

Everybody Loves a Snowman - S3-E14
Trivia: For budgetary reasons, it was not unusual to see one actor play several different characters in a television series. Case in point, in this episode, Noam Pitlik plays the part of an escaped POW. In the pilot episode, he was a Gestapo agent, and various German officers in others.

That's No Lady, That's My Spy - S6-E17
Revealing mistake: When the men are in ranks for roll call, it's snowing heavily. Given the pitch of the barracks' roofs, there shouldn't be any snow sticking. Therefore, if looked at closely, it can be seen that the "snow" on the roofs is painted in place.

Continuity mistake: When Klink and Hogan are looking at the Mustangs, Hogan has just sipped his coffee and holding the mug at chest level, at the top button of his coat.
