Home Again - S2-E9

Plot hole: Old Ash travels back in time to 1982 to snatch the Necronomicon before Young Ash ever finds it (which should, presumably, erase all of the evil events from the original Evil Dead film right up to the present). Upon escaping the cabin, Old Ash finds that the timeline has self-corrected, and his amputated right hand has reappeared on his arm. But he is still in the 1980s. If the timeline had truly self-corrected, then Old Ash's car, his friends, and he himself would have vanished instantly from the 1980s, because the purpose of their mission never existed.

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: Throughout the entire first season, Ash's 1973 Olds Delta 88 variably has 4 working taillights and then only 3 working taillights from one scene to the next (and even from one shot to the next).

El Jefe - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: Inside the home that has been infested with Evil, the state police confront a possessed girl who attacks them. After some futile gunfire, the possessed girl is still standing. The female officer goes for her backup gun, which for some reason is a small over-and-under Derringer (meaning she has two shots maximum). She ends up firing the Derringer five times in just a few seconds, with explosive damage and without reloading. Director Sam Raimi probably staged the 5 gunshots on purpose, knowing that a two-round Derringer was a ridiculously-limited piece of firepower. Raimi probably did this as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Ash's bottomless double-barrelled shotgun from Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness.

El Jefe - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Michigan State Police arrive at a rural 2-storey home that has been overrun by Evil. As the police park in front of the darkened house, there is something like a million-candlepower flood light about 30 feet in the air, back-lighting a gnarly tree in the front yard and casting harsh light and shadow across the scene. The police exit their vehicle and, in one camera cut, the brilliant light has moved entirely into the backyard, now back-lighting the house. These can't be explained as yard lights: Upon entering the house, the police discover there is no electrical power on the premises.
