Struck - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: A parcel is thrown from the stagecoach and lands just off the left foot of the person expecting it. The following quick shot shows the same man bending to pick it up, but this time the package is centered and directly in front of his feet.

Hungry Ghosts - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, when Mei's father Ah-Tao dies she touches his face (after Buchanan joins the room) and she is wearing dark red fingernail polish with jewels. At the beginning of this episode showing the same scene, Mei no longer has polish on her nails.

Derailed - S1-E8

Factual error: When the whore is talking to Lily, she says "The first thing she should do (in her new tent) is to get the carpenter to lay some boards, or she will be saying hello to Mr. Trench Foot", referring to the medical issue related to feet in wet and unsanitary conditions. This disease of the feet was not referred to as this until World War One. (00:23:10)
