School Days - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Before the housekeeper leaves the library to open the door for 51's guys, we see Dr. Temple pinned under the bookcase and two red armchairs in front of the fireplace, but when she returns to the room with everyone following her one of those armchairs has vanished.

Zero - S3-E10

Other mistake: At the start of this episode Squad 51 heads out to the construction site with the screaming woman, and Roy and John are in their full turnout gear, which means they've just spent the night at the station and it's early morning at the end of their 24-hr shift, yet back at the station Roy and John are getting into their uniform at the start of their shift, which is 8:00AM. Joanne Worley's screaming segment was filmed for an earlier episode, but was inserted into this episode.

The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy get back to the station and talk to Paula in the rec room, in the wide shot Johnny has his hands on his hips and then subtly moves his elbow behind Roy, but it cuts to a close-up and his elbow is still blocking Roy.

The Promise - S3-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After Squad 51 is dispatched to 'woman down', just as the squad rolls up in front of the apartment building we can see a bit of the camera's production equipment at the bottom left corner of the screen, which is then pulled quickly out of shot.

How Green Was My Thumb? - S3-E17

Revealing mistake: When Roy and Johnny are at the nurses' station with Dix, Roy decides to deliver the plant that was left for Mrs. Johnson so he and Johnny get into the elevator, and when Roy says, "Six," the floor indicator light on the control panel turns itself on before Johnny even presses the 6th floor button. That light would not turn on if someone up on the 6th floor pressed for the elevator.

Audit - S2-E21

Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy are with the baby who's sleeping in the back seat of the locked car John says, "The roof is hot, I think the heat might have built up inside," and the bystander says, "Lord knows how long he's been lying in there broiling in the sun," but what's funny is that they're all wearing winter coats and jackets.

How Green Was My Thumb? - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: In the first shot as the engine and squad roll up to the winery fire, the entire trailer with the wood barrels is engulfed in flames with huge plumes of black smoke, but when it cuts to the next shot the trailer and barrels are fine, and there's only a very small fire burning on the ground while Marco pulls the hose off the engine, before the explosion.

How Green Was My Thumb? - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: When the squad and engine roll up on scene at the winery fire, there are wood barrels at the back of the burning trailer, and in consecutive shots the short barrel at the back left corner suddenly appears out of nowhere, then disappears, and then it reappears again.

I'll Fix It - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: While Roy and Johnny are under the house with the oil eruption trying to free the trapped man, they get covered in black oil and mud even though they're wearing turnout coats. It drips down their necks and their pants are soaked with it. When they get to Rampart with the victim, Roy says that he and John should get washed up, but when they talk to Dixie they haven't just washed up, their clothes are now impossibly spotless.

Body Language - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: While Roy and Johnny are working on the guy who fell from the horse, since Roy's hands are busy he has the IV line dangling from his mouth before setting up the patient's IV, and in wide shots the cannula is dangling at the left side of his mouth, but in closeups the IV line and cannula have switched sides.

Weird Wednesday - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: While Roy and John are on scene with the "car over cliff" Johnny heads down to the car too quickly, and when he ends up falling his mic transmitter and wire slip out from their hidden area, and become visible on the front of his shirt.

Messin' Around - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: When Old Bill is wheeled into treatment 3, there's a pillow under his head and the gurney he's lying on has grey trim, horizontal bars under the bed and flat steel plates over the wheels, but when it cuts to inside treatment 3 as he's brought in, the pillow has vanished and the entire style of the gurney he's lying on is completely different.

Visible crew/equipment: When Benjamin and the kids are in the car driving to their new house, followed by the moving truck, in the interior close-up of Benjamin the vehicle's reflection is visible in the windows across the street, and we can see the production equipment attached to the vehicle's windshield area.

We Bought a Zoo (2011)

Continuity mistake: When Benjamin and Rosie are in the car with the realtor, Benjamin's holding the report with the residential listings, and at the top of all the listings the dates read Mon, Jan 3, 2011, though it's 2010 that the movie takes place.

We Bought a Zoo (2011)

Continuity mistake: After Benjamin and Rosie pick what to keep and what to give away, it cuts to the shot of their car driving up the street followed by the moving truck, and the driver is wearing a white shirt, but in the closeup Benjamin is wearing a dark shirt.
