Other mistake: Brackett has Johnny and Roy in his office to listen to recordings on two cassette tapes - the first of 51's transmission with Rampart, and the second of 49's transmission with Pediatric Clinic. Brackett plays the first tape, pops it out and then plays the second tape. The problem is that when Brackett puts the first cassette tape back in the player, it's been rewound, even though Brackett never actually rewound the tape.

Emergency! (1972)
Captain Hook - S6-E8
Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny rescue the deputy from the wrecked chopper that sank in the water, they emerge from the water soaked from head to toe, but when they are pulled to the top of the cliff, Johnny and Roy are both completely dry except for a few small wet patches on their shirts.

Emergency! (1972)
The Wedsworth-Townsend Act - S1-E1
Other mistake: Before the car goes over the cliff, Dixie says that the woman has a fractured radius and ulna (forearm), and then at the hospital when Dr. Brackett talks to Dixie he says the same thing, but when Dr. Early walks into Brackett's office, he says "The woman with the busted fibula (lower leg), she's coming out of shock now."
19th Jan 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Pete shows Laurie the newspaper, in the closeup of the article about Gail and Laurie entitled "women paramedics save shooting victims", the paragraphs under and around the title are repeated, and have nothing to do with the title.
16th Jan 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When the dispatcher calls for Squad 51 about an unknown rescue, Roy almost closes the squad's hood on Johnny's head, and when Captain Stanley responds the usual KMG365 with the hand mic, we can see that the mic's cord is dangling down, not even plugged into the base.
16th Jan 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: Roy uses the Biophone when he tells Brackett the vitals of a woman with cardiac symptoms, and then Johnny uses the landline to tell Brackett that there's "Another victim, female, 8 months pregnant, she's gone into labor." Brackett responds, "The mother's probably had an MI... Any cervix dilation on the daughter?" It is impossible for Brackett to have known that the two women are related, let alone that they're mother and daughter.

Emergency! (1972)
The Girl on the Balance Beam - S5-E18
Other mistake: Twice during this episode, when they're dispatched to a "woman trapped on a wire" and also to the "train fire", we see Engine 51 heading out with two firemen standing at the back of the engine, and they are Johnny and Roy. This footage is actually from the episode "The Old Engine" in season 3, when they got the new Ward La France engine for Station 51, and since Roy and Johnny were waiting for the previous shift to return with the squad, Captain Stanley told them to jump on the back and go with them on their first run with the new engine.
16th Jan 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Johnny, Roy, and the cardiac patient are stuck in the stalled elevator with smoke in the shaft, Captain Stanley notifies dispatch that he wants a full first-alarm assignment, and we then see Engine 8 pulling out of their bay and heading to their run. The problem here is that this shot of Engine 8 is from the episode "Equipment" in season 5, when Johnny was doing overtime with Station 8, and we can actually see Johnny sitting on Engine 8 as it drives by.

Emergency! (1972)
Loose Ends - S6-E12
Other mistake: At the fire in the freight yard, Captain Stanley asks the dispatcher to respond a second-alarm assignment, and then we see Engine 8 pulling out of their apparatus bay and driving down the street. The problem is that this particular shot of Engine 8 is from season 5, episode "Equipment", when Johnny was doing some overtime at Station 8, and we can actually see Johnny sitting on Engine 8.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy are at the house with the three wild, obnoxious boys who terrorized their sitter, Johnny takes her blood pressure with the cuff, while Roy takes her respiration and pulse as he looks at his wrist for the second-hand countdown, but the problem is that Roy isn't even wearing his watch, and the actor has a bizarre look on his face when he looks at his naked wrist. He then tells Johnny that her pulse is 140 and respiration is 35. When the ambulance attendants arrive, Roy is wearing his watch. If he had his watch he should have used it for the pulse and respiration.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny are waiting in the staff lounge for Dr. Morton, Johnny opens the newspaper's sport's section and sees Brice's picture. In the page's close-up, two paragraphs in two unrelated articles are the same, and they also have nothing to do with the title of the articles. The first paragraph begins, "Thus at this conference all our governments..." and the second begins, "Of no less importance was the common recognition..."

Emergency! (1972)
Pressure 165 - S5-E7
Other mistake: When Johnny prepares Chef Michel's recipe, he leaves the casserole dish in the oven while Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire. When he and Roy return, Johnny opens the hot oven door to find it smoking and the dish bubbled over, and even though the oven door is supposedly very hot, Roy places his hand on the inside of that door and actually leans on it like there's absolutely no problem.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When the deaf woman is delivering a baby, the subtitles read that Johnny is saying, "The head is rotating," when in fact it's Roy saying that. Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.
29th Dec 2013
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Battalion 5 orders Copter 10 and Copter 14 to make an air drop on Jawbone Canyon, it cuts to a shot of Copter 14 taking off. This is the same shot used in S3, E6, "Snakebite", when 85's guys tank Copter 14 in order to make a water drop where the teenagers' car is on fire down below.
29th Dec 2013
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: At the end of the episode, when Roy, Johnny, and Chet are at their lockers, Roy comments that Gloria won't make the same mistake twice about the $8.42, and Chet laughs, but the subtitles read, "Marco laughing", even though Marco is not in the scene. Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

St. Trinian's (2007)
Other mistake: After Kelly and the twins climb out of the sewer tunnel and hear footsteps, the twins sit atop the steel grating pretending to cry while the rest hide below. All the walls and paintings behind the twins are the very same ones behind Kelly, Taylor and Andrea later, when they've finally reached their target painting, in a different area of the gallery. We can even see the square of wood planks covering the area of the steel grating seen earlier. (01:13:35 - 01:24:00)
11th Mar 2010
St. Trinian's (2007)
Other mistake: Just before the Cheltenham bus arrives before the hockey game, Geoffrey Thwaites is reading The Sun. In the close-up the headline reads "Shot in the arm, new Minister for Education announced today", with a photo of Geoffrey beside it. However, the actual article has nothing to do with Geoffrey. It is about Andy Millman's temper, and how he verbally abused a Downs Syndrome child. Andy Millman is a fictional TV character played by Ricky Gervais in "Extras". The other two articles make no sense as well. (00:21:10)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Other mistake: In quite a few shots during the film, it is much too obvious that there are no lenses in Harry's glasses, whereas in previous and following shots the glasses have lenses. A couple of instances are: when Harry drinks the Felix Felicis and when Harry kneels beside Dumbledore, at the foot of the Astronomy Tower.

Transformers (2007)
Other mistake: When Frenzy attacks Sam, the teenager wears straight leg jeans with a narrow leg opening (not boot cut) and thick-soled Nikes, seen in numerous shots, as he kicks at the Decepticon. After the cut to Mikaela (who finds the reciprocating saw), during which Frenzy has already pulled off the bottom of Sam's jeans, Sam continues to kick and scream just before he gets up and runs. Problem is Sam still wears both thick-soled Nikes, neither of which slipped off as Frenzy maniacally pulled the jeans, with narrow leg openings, from his kicking legs/feet. Impossible even in the best of circumstances.
24th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Other mistake: When the Inferno is in the cave the vessel's sails hang or are furled a specific way on the masts, but when the ship sails past the beach the rigging differs significantly. (01:23:45 - 01:47:40)
