Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Revealing mistake: Stock footage strikes again when Kirk orders the red alert. A shot of the bridge and view screen, with Kirk standing in front of his chair, once more switches Kirk out for a stand in, and Chekhov has gone and is replaced by what looks like from behind like a young woman or a man with a long neck. Also the central display between navigator and helm is now different from that earlier. (00:11:15)
19th Dec 2007
Revealing mistake: In the jail cell scene, when Kirk tears a strap from the bed, his left handcuff is open. It remains open for several seconds, while he tries to conceal it by moving his right hand to block the camera's view.

Visible crew/equipment: A stagehand's foot is visible before the party beams down. (00:09:10)
8th Sep 2016
Other mistake: In the cells, the particular strip of metal Kirk pulls loose has rivets that are noticeably different than the rest, making it easier to pull loose.
8th Aug 2019
Revealing mistake: When Kirk holds a golden egg, a seam can be seen on it. (00:43:55)

The Trouble With Tribbles - S2-E15
Revealing mistake: When Kirk finds his position on the bridge occupied by the Tribbles, he calls for Dr. McCoy, and as he arrives, Kirk thrusts some of the Tribbles under his nose. In the shots where Kirk's face is seen, one of the Tribbles he is holding features a visible seam.
19th Mar 2016
Revealing mistake: A straight and level seam connecting the top and bottom halves of the tunnel Spock is crawling through is visible.
Suggested correction: Views of the tunnels made before the creature was wounded by Kirk and Spock appear almost perfectly smooth. It is explained that the creature exudes a powerful acid to dissolve the rock. This tunnel was made after the creature was wounded, so it is logical that the wounded portion of the creature would secrete less acid thus leaving an imperfection as the creature tunnels. This could be a case of incredible attention to detail by the set designer rather than an error revealed.
This correction is too much of a stretch to explain a perfect seam by the wounded Horta. Plus, if the Horta was secreting less corrosive substance, then that area would be less eroded, not more. If attention to detail was paid, then the area would have an outward seam, not an inward one.

Continuity mistake: When they first arrive at The Today Show, the vomit stain on Aaron's jacket changes significantly from shot to shot.
26th Aug 2003
Continuity mistake: When Elaine gets knocked out with the ball her hat falls to the ground, next to her car. When the boy drives off the hat is gone. (00:12:55)
17th Jun 2013
Continuity mistake: The piece of wood Zolo grabs as a weapon changes shape between shots. When he threatens Joan with it, seen from behind the end is quite even, but when seen from the front (and when he picks it up at first) it is pointy.
26th Aug 2003
Continuity mistake: When Zolo stops Ralph's car he shows him a police ID. The way he holds up the ID differs completely, depending on the camera angle. (00:26:10)
16th Sep 2008
Continuity mistake: When George Clooney is running, there's a shot of him in the neighborhood with the back of his shirt drenched. When they show him inside the house shortly after, the sweat stain on his back is significantly smaller.
30th Jul 2011
Continuity mistake: When George Clooney and Tilda Swinton are eating in a restaurant part-way into the film, throughout this scene Tilda Swinton's spoon appears and disappears. (00:50:05)
6th Nov 2008
Continuity mistake: In the first meeting room at the Russian Embassy, the picture behind Linda and Chad changes from a blue framed portrait of what looks like Yeltsin to a portrait of Putin. (00:45:50)
8th Jun 2003
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Wyatt and Gary are taking Deb and Hilly home in the Ferrari and Porsche, Gary is being pursued by the police. When Gary approaches the railroad tracks, the train is shown coming in the direction of the passenger side door. When they finally cross over the tracks, the shot is flipped, and the train is seen to have crossed the intersection in the direction of the driver's side door. (01:19:25)
18th Dec 2003
Continuity mistake: Lisa has just exited the shopping mall. Gary pulls up in the Porsche. When Gary pulls up onto the curb, the cars behind the Porsche include A white coupe, a blue sedan, a silver Chevy Monza and a brown Lincoln Town Car. Gary gets out of the Porsche and says " Lis' we're running late" and the cars have completely changed except the silver Chevy Monza. Lisa turns to get into the Porsche and the cars behind them have completely changed yet again. Now they include a Brown Van and a silver 4 door Plymouth Horizon. Obviously the mall parking lot was not closed during filming, and this 2 minute scene was shot over the course of several hours. (00:35:40)
5th Mar 2008
Continuity mistake: There aren't any shoes on the Lisa doll, but the real life Lisa appears wearing high heels. (00:11:20 - 00:12:55)
