Revealing mistake: Davey at the beginning of the movie is looking at the newspaper he's delivering to Mr. Wayne Mackey. Just from a glance at the page you can tell that something is off, since the article supposedly about a missing boy appears to be written entirely in first person. Upon closer inspection, turns out that it's filler text from chapter IV of Robert Louis Stevenson' s "Treasure Island". (00:01:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Humphrey checks in at the station in the morning, and he has one extra coffee cup. When he asks Fidel about the cane, he is holding the cups with his fingers positioned higher up against the lids. (00:31:55)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: During the funny exchange when Dwayne is on surveillance and the other two are not and argue about that, the bottle of Tensel beer in front of Fidel faces opposites directions between shots. (00:30:35)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with the swimsuit model, the waiter comes out from behind the counter, moves behind Camille, but takes a couple seconds after he goes out of frame for him to appear behind Samuel Anderson. (00:28:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Deliberate mistake: When Fidel pops behind Humphrey with the walking cane, in nonsensical fashion his cane switches hands in the brief moment when the camera moves from behind him to the front of Humph. It has to be deliberate since there is no cut, but Fidel is standing still both times, and Gary Carr must have done a sudden swap that has no reason. (00:28:20)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Goodman sticks on Dwayne the task of surveilling Captain Jack Parrot messing up his hot dating plans, Dwayne lowers his hand, and in the next shot he has it back up again. (00:26:55)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Humphrey basically sums up the case after he calls Dwayne "Master of the Understatement", Kris Marshall depending on the camera angle does his weird gesticulations with the left or the right arm. (00:26:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Character mistake: After a long day of various inquiries around the island and a lot of roaming and chit-chatting, DS Camille Bordey and DI Humphrey Goodman go back to the station wondering "if the photographs from Matthew Webster's camera have finished downloading." (00:23:50)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Camille picks up a small copy of the map from Yasmin Blake's booth. She turns it 90° and drums its side with her fingers, but when the editing returns to the previous camera angle as it's time to leave, she's holding the map the same way as before, and with her hand firm on the side. (00:23:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Goodman asks Yasmin Blake about the tour, and he traces the path on the map on the wall. In close-up, it's a right hand that does all the gesturing, but in the wider angles Kris Marshall has his right hand in his pocket, and it's the left he uses for that purpose. (00:23:15)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Camille tells Humphrey about having a date with a swimwear model, she has her index finger less than one inch away from the label of the folder in the front views, but in the reverse the hand is noticeably lower on the page. (00:21:55)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: At Humphrey's after speaking with Alec Burton, Camille is looking through documents when the scene begins. She lowers the paper in her right hand in the very first shot, it is higher up in the following, and she has yet to open the document folder in the frontal. (00:21:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: In another bit of his ridiculously exaggerated lack of coordination, Humph knocks the whiteboard down. He is reaching out with his left arm to tap it, actually taps it with the right, Dwayne catches the board, and in the next shot he's catching it again while Goodman pulls the left arm back. (00:17:20)

Sammo ★

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: During the first whiteboard scene, you can tell different takes have been edited together because in some of the shots with the same angle (Danny John-Jules from the waist up) something happened that smudged away a bit of the vertical stroke of the first T in Matt Webster's name, and in others it is untouched. (00:15:40)

Sammo ★

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: At the setup of the whiteboard, the name of the victim is shown in close-up. The letter R in 'Mark Talbot' is written with a full eyelet and the K has its oblique strokes that don't join together. In the next shot Dwayne is standing by the board and the writing changed. The mistake happens for the remaining names too, different between close-up and view of the whole board. (00:15:35)

Justice - S1-E8

Plot hole: The entire premise of the episode is contradictory; the franchise makes abundantly clear through the so called Prime Directive that the Federation abides to a code (often creating moral dilemmas that may require to stretch the rules) that says that their staff is not supposed to interfere in world that haven't reached warp capabilities, nor involve themselves in their internal matters. In the first half of the episode, Riker and the others just go 'mingle' with the frisky natives without a care in the world, and yet in the second half the Prime Directive itself is referenced explicitly and it is part of the plot.

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Chief Goodman has implicitly outed himself as a birdwatcher, and the others look at him with pity. When Fidel resumes speaking saying "Well...", Humphrey lowers his binoculars and moves the evidence bag from one hand to the other and vice-versa. Besides small jumps in continuity that occur, the evidence bag does a 180° between shots. (00:05:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Factual error: Humphrey and the rest of the crew arrive on the murder scene, where Fidel is taking pictures of the body. With the knife fully planted inside the victim and pictures still to be taken, Fidel is already able to say that the knife has been wiped clean of prints; it's impossible that he could have already done such an assessment at that point.

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: The reconciled Camille and Catherine walk arm in arm towards the table with Dwayne and the others. The beers in the bucket in front of Humphrey change position/angle depending on the view. (00:50:40)

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5

Character mistake: Fidel says that the victim "removed" the hard drive of his laptop, even pointing out an empty slot where the HD would be. During his massive overacting when he figures out of the solution of the case, Humphrey says that Jacob "wiped" the hard drive. (00:21:40 - 00:41:00)
