The Arsenal of Freedom - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: After Geordi separates the ship, the saucer was well away from the star drive section, and they're at impulse power. When the star drive section goes to turn around, it is at warp speed, and it is a re-use of the high warp separation sequence from Episode One "Encounter at Farpoint."

Dear Mildred - S4-E7
Revealing mistake: When the camera is in a close up on Dan the pilot, the sound is a chopper that is running full power, but you can tell that the main rotors are turning slowly to simulate flight.

The Three Stooges Show (1960)
Revealing mistake: In the shorts "In the Sweet Pie and Pie", and "Disorder in the Court", when there is stunt to be done that would hurt Curly, the stunt double is easily identified.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
Continuity mistake: As the taxi Hedley is in approaches Grauman's Chinese Theater, watch the movie title "Blazing Saddles" on the marquees. It moves slightly as the camera pans to keep the taxi in frame. Also, Hedley's suit and face are spotless, despite entering the taxi covered in whipped cream. And, it was afternoon when Lamarr got the cab, but dark at the theater. The studio and theater are only four miles apart.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
Other mistake: When the Western fight breaks into the dance movie set, the background of the Western movie is seen, even though it was all several hundred feet away, on an outdoor set.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is entirely in keeping with the "reveal of the movie within a movie.
Of that, there's no question. I was pointing out that the sets for both movies were a distance apart...the Western backdrop should not have been seen.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: Before The Sniper starts firing, Hawkeye is carrying the two bottles of scotch firmly gripped by the necks. A second later, he's barely holding them by the caps, in preparation to drop them.

The Trial of Henry Blake - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: As Klinger flies on his home made glider it's easy to tell that it's a bad composition shot. Also, nobody moving in the shot of him taking off stopped to notice him.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
Revealing mistake: As Bart grabs the black king, watch his hands. He claps his hands around the king, draws the toward his body, and they dip partially down below the level of the table. When he does that, he opens his hands just enough to allow the piece to fall out of the camera's range. Then Jim pulls out a duplicate piece he had in his holster.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
Continuity mistake: When the banner rolls up, it stops with about three inches of material hanging down. When Bart goes to pull the banner down, it's completely rolled up.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Continuity mistake: As the experiment recreation progresses, and Helena identifies the spirit, the spirit appears with damage on the left side of its face, and a yellow sleeve on its right arm. When the camera is close up to the spirit, the damage and yellow sleeve change sides.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: In the beginning, Hawkeye says that the patient was full of shrapnel from a claymore. M*A*S*H was set in the early 50's, and the M18 Claymore was only in the development stages in 1952, and not accepted and battle used until Vietnam in 1961.

Space Brain - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: The number on Kelly's suit was 4. As Paul went to go out after Kelly, you see the number 4 on the control panel, then when he nears Kelly, it's changed to 3, suggesting the shot of the exiting person was re-used.

Cementing Relationships - S9-E3
Trivia: When someone is needed inside, B.J. tells Hawkeye to go, and says "I'll stay here with Der Bingle", referring to Mulcahy, due to him singing as he mixed cement. "Der Bingle" was a reference to Bing Crosby.
