Factual error: When the rifle is identified as a "Weatherby Fibermark", Monk and Randy say it's a British rifle. But Weatherby is an American company.

Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Monk is talking to Benjy, he buttons up the top two buttons on his shirt, but in the next shot of him they're undone, and he's re-buttoning them.

Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Stottlemeyer pulls his gun on Mr. Modine, the safety is off and the gun is cocked, but in the next shot it's not cocked and the safety is on. Then we see the safety off, but not cocked.

Trivia: The picture of Milo and Eddie (Danny Glover and Danny DeVito) seen at the end in Nora's are real photos of Glover and DeVito, just photoshopped to be holding menus and to look like they're together in a restaurant. The photos of them comes from a 2008 fundraiser for Paul Newman's children's camp (The Painted Turtle) that doubled as a tribute to Newman, who had passed away a month prior to the event. Both men were in attendance.

Trivia: In this episode, Colleen Rennison plays "Ally", the young girl who helps Teal'c. Rennison would later go on to play Cassandra (the Hankan girl SG-1 brings back to Earth in "Singularity") in "Rite of Passage."

Question: Maybourne threatens Daniel with a court-martial if he continues to disobey orders by helping the Tollan. The driving force of him helping is the idea that since he's a civilian he can't be court-martialed. But how accurate is that? Can a civilian who works for and/or with the military be court-martialed, especially if he or she has participated in military operations? The Stargate program is essentially a black-ops program and Daniel signed an NDA, so how could he ever face a non-military court?

Trivia: In this episode, and in the previous one, Margo alludes to Prince Formar that her vagina has teeth (hence the title of the episode) and has Eliot help her trick Formar into thinking his penis was bitten during sex. Hale Appleman, who plays Eliot, starred in the film "Teeth" in which a young woman has teeth in her vagina. Appleman in "Teeth"was the first victim and had his penis bitten (off).

Question: I've noticed a few times in the film they mention "Phase 2." For example, when Fury is talking to the council they bring it up and Fury says "Phase 2 isn't ready." Given that the MCU was broken up into phases, with this being the last film in Phase One (with Iron Man 3 released a year later as the first film in Phase Two), was this an inside joke or nod about the MCU phases, or just coincidence and I'm reading too much into it?
Answer: Phase 2 in the movie refers to the plan executed in Captain America: Winter Soldier, Project Insight which is their next phase for total security of Earth (along with Stark's Ultron program). It is coincidental that it is the same term used for the MCU itself.

Conspiracy - S6-E9
Trivia: The song playing when the customer puts the bracelet in her mask is "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction.

Trivia: When Mike (Chris Farley) pretends to be a security officer at Rock the Vote, the 2 security guards standing behind him are Kevin and John Farley, Chris Farley's real life brothers.
23rd Feb 2021
Continuity mistake: When Mike is talking about seeing his brother while Steve is asleep, you see the Playpen magazine sticking out from under his pillow, on top of a 2nd magazine. When Mike approaches him, the Playpen magazine is under the covers next to Steve and there's only one magazine under the pillow.
23rd Feb 2021
Other mistake: When we see the front page picture of Mike with the alcohol and joint, he's pouring the alcohol over his bottom lip and chin, going down the front of his shirt. This doesn't match what we see him do. It does appear that Mike spilt alcohol on himself when off camera, but the wet spot is on the right side of his jacket, but not down the front.

Question: In the film, Officer Robbie seems to have heavily modified his police cruiser, including adding nitrous. In real life, could an officer actually modify his or her vehicle, even if it's at their own expense? The examples of modified police cars I could find online are never real cop cars (they're for a car show, just a stunt, or hoax of some sort).
Answer: A major police department would probably not allow modifications to an official vehicle, even if it was assigned permanently to a particular officer, due to safety or insurance concerns. That said, many departments do use high performance or exotic vehicles seized during crimes under various forfeiture laws. Most times these are for promotional purposes, but I do know of a Florida department that used a souped-up Dodge Hemi-Charger painted in standard department livery for traffic enforcement.

Trivia: When Frank (Danny DeVito) and Angie are at the restaurant, the waitress (Jenny) Frank is checking out is played by Lucy DeVito, Danny DeVito's daughter.

Continuity mistake: The way Jen's books are stacked changes after she says "pedal stool." The book with the red pages moves to the top.

Within the Serpent's Grasp (2) - S1-E22
Trivia: When Teal'c says the long range communication device is somewhat like a television, Jack jokes about if it gets "Showtime." The first 5 season of Stargate SG-1 aired on Showtime.
16th Feb 2021
Continuity mistake: When Omoc is approached in the infirmary, he takes off the oxygen mask. But in some shots, the mask is just pulled down and still around his neck.
26th Jan 2021
Trivia: The voice of Invisible Brad was done by Jake Farrow, one of the writers for "Henry Danger."
25th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: When Madmartigan closes the front doors and goes to place the wooden crossbar into the brackets, the right side of the crossbar isn't set inside the bracket, it's flush on the outside, and below the gap. When the shot changes, it's now in the bracket without him lifting it up or anything.

Answer: In real life, under certain conditions, civilians working with military forces can be required to abide by military law as well as the civilian laws of their nation. This is usually when civilians (eg. scientists, contractors, etc) are deployed for a lengthy time as part of a military force at war (or similar operations). The requirement to abide by the law is usually explained carefully to the civilian and signed before deployment. This helps fit civilians into a chain of command and maintains discipline, without having to return to courts in the home country for infractions. There may be many parts of military law that don't apply to the civilian (e.g. alcohol is forbidden to all personnel, but the civilian does not have to have a regulation haircut). Also, very serious crimes by anyone in a force may be dealt with by civilian courts, if the military can't for some reason. So it is feasible that Daniel would be subject to at least some parts of military law (and civil law too).
