eps1.7_wh1ter0se.m4v - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Angela's hookup leaves her on the balcony she has almost finished her cigarette, but when the camera switches back to her a few moments later (she turns around after the door has just been closed), she has an almost full cigarette once again. (00:02:25)

eps2.3_logic_b0mb.hc - S2-E5

Factual error: The FBI agents are in China on a fact finding mission. They get attacked at their hotel by assassins with firearms. One of the agents gets shot, falls and drops his handgun which another agent picks up and uses. It's a model 1911/1911A1 .45 caliber. The FBI standard issue is the Glock. They also used to issue Sig P228's and Smith and Wesson 1076's. They never issued 1911's to their special agents only the tactical HRT unit is issued custom Springfield 1911's. (00:48:30 - 00:49:30)

eps2.9_pyth0n_pt2.p7z - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Darlene stole a handgun from the safe earlier in the series it was a stainless Walther PPK, she gave it to Elliot at F Society headquarters, and he stuffed it into the popcorn in the popcorn machine. Now Tyrell says to Elliot "when you gave me this..." in reference to the handgun. The handgun Tyrell just used to shoot Elliot with, which he's holding is different from the Walther PPK, it appears to be a stainless Colt Mustang. Both are .380 caliber aka 9mm short, but totally different makes. (00:42:00 - 00:43:00)

eps3.2_legacy.so - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: The doctors remove a bullet from Elliot's abdomen and place it in a metal medical dish. The bullet appears to be a 9mm or a 9mm short however it has no striations. When a bullet is fired it goes through the barrel picking up the land and grooves of the bore. The bullet should have spirals, this one looks brand-new, like it was just purchased to reload ammunition. (00:48:30 - 00:49:00)

eps3.6_fredrick+tanya.chk - S3-E7

Other mistake: Angela keeps watching by rewinding the same scenes of the news of the data storage facilities collapsing from the explosions which targeted 71 facilities. The explosions look controlled like the demo of the old Las Vegas hotels and casinos. Data storage facilities are concrete/metal buildings with very few windows. The building she's watching collapse appears to be an apartment building with hundreds of large apartment style windows. (00:25:00 - 00:27:00)

shutdown -r - S3-E10

Other mistake: In one of the previous episodes of season 3, Elliot threw out his garbage along with his Mr. Robot jacket at an inner city dump where people burn the trash in large dumpsters on the spot. The jacket was thrown into the flames. Now Whiterose's men home invaded Elliot's apartment looking for him, and they found the same jacket in his closet. Yes he could have had more than one but when he threw it out it symbolized him getting rid of the entire Mr. Robot idea. Why toss one and leave the others? (00:01:30 - 00:03:00)

Suggested correction: When Elliott is walking up to his apartment after he threw the jacket out the illegal trash workers dump the trash in front of his apartment and the jacket falls out. He was talking about deletion around this time.

406 Not Acceptable - S4-E6

Deliberate mistake: Elliot threatens Olivia about her testing positive for Oxycontin because she drank a peppermint mocha he brought her. If she tests positive she loses custody of her child. The thing with Oxy is that it's in one's system for a maximum of 4 days. Could be even less if only a small amount was taken and somebody exercises and drinks lots of water. Somebody could also eat poppyseeds and that would give a false positive. She could say she ate a poppyseed bagel. (00:14:00 - 00:16:00)

Elliot: We're all living in each other's paranoia.
