Her Charm - September 26, 1973 - S2-E15

Revealing mistake: When driving to the cabin, the mileage markers on the roadside indicate they are in Los Angeles, nowhere near Boston or Baltimore. (00:20:30)

Thou Shalt Not... - February 2, 1974 - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When Sam and Shirley go out of the bake sale to talk and she admits to having an affair and begins to cry, Sam reaches into his coat for a handkerchief, and a mic briefly drops down and is visible in the upper left of the screen. (00:29:00)

What Price Gloria? - October 16, 1961 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Sam goes out of the window to save Gloria, part of the ledge breaks off, but in the near shots it is broken off almost to the corner near Gloria, while in the shots from below most of the ledge is still intact. (00:35:45)

Factual error: In Paris, Colonel Moran gives a ticket for Don Giovanni to Moriarty. The ticket lists the performance date as "Mardi 7 Novembre." Mardi means Tuesday in French, except in 1891 November 7 was a Saturday. (00:52:20)

Factual error: When Watson is looking at the spiderweb of clues in Holmes' apartment, he is shown a newspaper article about the bombing and doctor's death. The lower left of the clipping shows a story with title "Soviet Government Money For The General Strike." The movie is set in 1891, and the term Soviet first came into use in 1905 to describe a worker's movement in Russia, but a Soviet Government didn't exist until 1917. (00:16:00)

Continuity mistake: The dash or speedometer of the Ferrari is visible multiple times, but two different dashes are seen. In one the speedometer has a top speed of 160 (garage men speeding down the road, when Cameron sees the mileage is too high, and when Cameron sees the miles aren't coming off). In the other it has a top speed of 120 (when they get in the car to leave the garage, and looking over Ferris' shoulder at Cameron leaning on the car in the garage before he kicks it [open matte version]). The two dashes also use a different font for the numbers. (00:55:00 - 01:09:40)

Continuity mistake: When Axel enters Inspector Todd's office before going to LA, the clock on the wall reads about 3:54. Fifteen seconds later when Todd comes around his desk, it reads 3:59 or 4:00. (00:19:40)

Continuity mistake: When Nan comes out to see the group off on the camping trip, she has a pack hanging on her left shoulder, but then it instantly disappears between a frontal shot and a back shot, and never seen again. (00:10:40)

Continuity mistake: When Mack is plowing the snow in his driveway and the plow runs out of gas, the amount of snow around the plow changes between shots. It is especially noticeable on the plow's left where it goes from no piled snow to a row of piled snow. (00:08:20)

Factual error: The red songbook on Rambeau's piano is Cajun and Zydeco Classics, first published in 2005, ten years after this scene is supposed to have taken place. (01:20:00)

Continuity mistake: When Talos appears in Rambeau's house he gets scared after seeing the cat, which then sits down facing Danvers about a foot to the right of Talos' boots. A second later, Danvers reaches down about six feet in front of Talos and picks up the cat which is now facing Talos. There wasn't enough time for the cat to have moved from a sitting position to the new location, let alone turned around. (01:05:00)

Continuity mistake: After Danvers heats the kettle with her hand she sits and speaks with Rambeau, the window shades change in the last shot. Most noticeable is the pulls change positions. (01:00:30)

Other mistake: When Vers is using the payphone across from Blockbuster, the phone says it costs 25 cents for a call, but down below there is a big notice on the phone saying effective Nov. 1, 1995 the rate is going up to 25 cents. Trouble is it is June 1995, still five months before the rate change, and yet it already costs 25 cents. (00:25:40)

Factual error: After taking the motorcycle, Danvers rides to the bar and passes a blue and white open-bed Ford pickup. There are two things wrong with the truck's license plate: it is a non-commercial California plate "1TAH285" (pickups in California back then had to have commercial plates, form 1A23456, unless a special allowance was made if they always have a camper), and the plate is blue on white which was first used with plates starting with "2." A plate of form 1ABC234 starting with "1" is gold on blue. (00:38:00)

Other mistake: When Jimmy is putting the first newspaper article up on the bulletin board, the article is titled "Owls Win Fifth Straight", but the actual article text talks about the Owls having just played and lost the last game of the season that "not only knocked the Owls from post-season action, but ended a 17 game winning streak." (00:46:45)

Trivia: When Jimmy first arrives in Big Lake, the movie theater marquee lists the movie playing as Bang the Drum Slowly, a 1973 movie about a major league pitcher and catcher that form a friendship when traveling on the road, mirroring a lot about the friendship formed by Jimmy and Brooks.

Continuity mistake: Before Dr. Crowe first speaks with Cole, he is sitting reviewing notes and when Cole comes out of the apartment, Crowe flips to the notes on Cole. The camera is in tight, and moves to close ups of words on the page. Later when translating the Latin Cole was saying, we see a large part of the page, and it is obviously the same page from earlier, including the words that were zoomed in on. Problem is it starts by describing how they first met in a church, which when Crowe was first reviewing the notes had not yet happened. It also describes Cole saying things we don't hear him say in the church. It is obvious from the greeting that the meeting in the church we see is the first time they meet, so how did Crowe have a written description of an event that had not yet happened? There is no indication that ghosts forget events they do after they died, so it wouldn't make sense that this isn't the first meeting, and Crowe just doesn't remember.

Continuity mistake: Before Admiral Bates first speaks to Strannix, there is a dark-haired marine in a green uniform on his left. When Bates raises his hand to signal activating the audio to speak, Captain Garza (black uniform and silver hair) is suddenly on his left. Then it changes to another camera angle and the marine is back next to Bates. (00:36:40)

Continuity mistake: When the helicopter lands we see it is sitting over the white circle of the landing zone on the back of the ship. Later, right after the F18 is shot down, we see an aerial view of the ship with a small part of the back cut off, but part of the landing zone circle is visible and there is no helicopter. (00:13:30 - 00:36:00)

Continuity mistake: When Mackensie is having breakfast with Papa, right as he tells Papa she doesn't stop bad things from happening, there is a 2 second cutaway after which there are multiple changes. The geese in the background have disappeared, the shadow on the grass changed, a biscuit on the tray moved, and Papa's red coffee cup moved. (01:04:50)
