Other mistake: After the alien probe emits atmosphere on the surface, there's suddenly full gravity, as evidenced by the first two people walking normally. There was no mention of full gravity on the Moon's surface, as all walking before was in microgravity.

Continuity mistake: The first time the two crew men in the moon buggy are seen, the numbers on their suits are eight and three. The next moon buggy scene, the two in the suits are numbered eight and three again at first, but when they're testing the domes, the numbers change to nine and zero.

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.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Continuity mistake: As the scene in Main Control gets blurrier as Koenig spins around, the part in his hair is first on the left, then on the right, then back on the left.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Other mistake: As the camera pans around to look in the cockpit, the wound on Koenig's head is easily seen as a bad blending job. The edges of the prosthetic are visible.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Other mistake: In the beginning, the Eagle was moving away from the alien planet, and as such, should have crash landed facing away from the planet. However, it was facing the direction it came from. If it traveled a fairly straight line, (and the trajectory suggests it did) then it should have crashed with the rear end facing the planet.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Continuity mistake: As the alien struggles with the security personnel, it's easy to tell the alien actor and the stunt double. The hair color and style change between distance and close up shots.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Continuity mistake: The panel Tony hits with a tomahawk in his quarters first appears to be molded plastic, then in a close up, appears to be painted wood, as the wood grain where the panel above is smooth.
19th Mar 2018
Space: 1999 (1975)
Revealing mistake: As Koenig tells of the attack, his feet are passing by the "dead" Mike Baxter. As they pass, Baxter's eyes flicker for a second.

Space: 1999 (1975)
