Banh Bao + Sterno + Drill + Burner + Mason - S5-E4

Factual error: A tracker is found in the engine compartment of a government car. To disable it, it is stomped on. And sparks fly. Inert electronics do not emit sparks when crushed. It was powered by the car battery. (00:16:20)

Banh Bao + Sterno + Drill + Burner + Mason - S5-E4

Factual error: The whiz kid is attempting to remote control a car. He asks Mattie for her cell phone, and then opens it with his hands. That is impossible. It takes a lot of effort and tools to do so. (00:12:44)

Revealing mistake: Men of the Department of Sanitation are picking up Lita's body from her house. The body bag she is supposedly in moves so easily, you can tell it is very light and contains nothing very heavy, much less the weight of a body. (01:03:05)

toroscan

Visible crew/equipment: Sara is at the front door video intercom. As the man from the Department of Sanitation is leaving, you can see crew/equipment visible in the reflection. (00:27:15)

Factual error: Lt. Harp is told by Capt. Leo that the Lieutenant has 56,000h of UAV flying time, That is ridiculous. Even seasoned pilots of the Military Airlift Command do not have that many hours. Drone pilots can fly up to 1,800 hours a year, and Harp hasn't been flying drones for 31 years straight.

Eclipse + USMC-1856707 + Step Potential + Chain Lock + Ma - S5-E3

Character mistake: MacGyver is explaining the jamming of a tracking signal. He states that the tracking device is emitting an RIDF signal. He should have said an RFID signal. (00:26:20)

No Way Out - S3-E3

Other mistake: Higgins is asked if she can hack a security feed from an office. She replies that she can do it, but it will only be audio, no video. When she hacks it, is only video, no audio. (00:14:10 - 00:15:35)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Factual error: MacGyver and Russ are locked in a hotel room. They cannot use their comms. MacGyver says it is because the room is secure with reinforced walls to keep comms blocked. But there is a big glass window with only bars on it. If the room were indeed secure to comms there would be a screen to complete a Faraday Cage and prevent radio frequencies from passing through. (00:26:45)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Factual error: MacGyver and Russ are bringing two large oxygen cylinders into a room. From the way they handle them to get them off the cart and onto the floor, you can tell they are empty. To make matters even funnier, MacGyver manages to break off the valves on both tanks at the same time with just one stomp of his foot. That is physically impossible. Continuing the farce, the tanks pretty leisurely rocket away, lifting all present slowly to the skylight. I have seen a video of just one small air tank break a valve. It shot across the room, through the wall, flew through the air, and embedded itself three feet in the ground over 40 feet away. Believe me, not at all how depicted here. (00:35:20 - 00:36:20)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Factual error: Riley and Desi pick the locks on a safe deposit box and extract a hard drive. They then are going down some stairs with Jane when Jane menaces them with a gun and asks for the hard drive. Riley tells Desi not to worry and shows her the actual disk in her hand. We're later shown she opened the casing with her bare hands and the disk dropped out - not at all possible. (00:29:30 - 00:32:00)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Plot hole: Paula Matos comes into her room and surprises Desi and Riley. Paula has a gun. Riley asks her if the gun is ceramic, as no guns are allowed in the hotel past security. It is not answered, but it would be the only way Paula could have a gun. So far so good. But later when they have made a deal, and they are leaving the room, Riley tells Paula to leave the gun behind because there might be metal detectors along the way. If it is indeed ceramic, then there is no need to leave it behind. And if it is metal, how did it get past the metal detectors in the first place? One or the other premise is wrong. (00:24:05 - 00:26:00)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Character mistake: "The Butcher of Brazil" walks into the "Spa" at the Zurich Grand. Instead of saying Boa Noite (proper Portuguese), he says "Buenas Noches" (in Spanish). (00:27:00)

Continuity mistake: Danielle is running and slams into a force field. She gets a bloody nose. Then she runs back to attack Illyana, and falls when Illyana disappears. She looks up, and her nose in not bloody any more. (00:13:25 - 00:14:20)

toroscan

Continuity mistake: A doctor comes into a patient's room. The door swings inward to the right, and it has a heavy lock on it. When she leaves she closes the door. It swings inward, but to the left, and it has no heavy lock. (00:04:10 - 00:08:25)

Go - S1-E1

Factual error: The astronaut from the UK has what is supposed to be a British flag on his right arm. But it is not accurate. The red diagonal lines are in the wrong place. They are supposed to be 3/5 of the way counterclockwise of the white field, not in the center thereof. (00:04:40)

toroscan

Factual error: Lt. Talbot is wearing a US Army (National Guard) uniform with his name tape saying "LT. TALBOT". Name tapes do not show rank. The rank is worn on the Battle Dress Uniform on a tab on the chest. (01:23:55)

toroscan

Other mistake: The remaining four people at the power plant are evacuating ahead of the explosion of the bomb they set. They are running towards the helicopter to escape. The scene shows the helicopter with the rotors already turning. But there is no-one on board, much less a pilot to have started the helicopter. (01:21:10)

toroscan

Continuity mistake: The mayor suffers a bleeding head wound while evacuating City Hall. Several scenes later he is shown with no wound at all. Not even his hair is mussed. (00:40:30 - 00:46:30)

Factual error: Cat hot wires a modern car. Cars newer than around 2004 are largely impossible to hot-wire. Modern vehicles come with a chip in their key fobs which are required for the ignition to start at all - no amount of hot-wiring can bypass these. (00:43:00)

toroscan

Factual error: Dr. Irwin is picking a lock. He only inserts a pick and not also a tension wrench. You need both to pick a lock. (00:20:30)
