Day 7: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S7-E1
Continuity mistake: When Alan Tanner shoots Gabriel Schector, three shots are fired, but four bullet holes are visible in the window.
Day 8: 1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M. - S8-E22
Continuity mistake: Day 8: 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m: When Chloe frees Cole from the detention cell she closes the door behind her. But once they're finished talking and they turn to leave the door is suddenly open again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the CTU tactical team arrives at the 'lz', the chopper that first makes ground contact is marked "CTU-1", and offloads six federal agents in full tactical gear. Later in another shot of the same scene, you see "CTU-1" marked on a second chopper still circling in the air. It's clear this is not the same chopper as before, as we see the first "CTU-1" on the ground again moments later.
Continuity mistake: When Reed walks into the room for the telecast rehearsal, and heads toward the podium, the woman with the blonde ponytail stands both at the podium and behind him in these shots.
Continuity mistake: When Kim waits as Teri is getting raped, she changes shoes from one scene to the next. First she's wearing flats, then wedge sandals.
11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: There's dialogue between Palmer and Novick in a hotel room with blinds pulled shut over the windows which leads up to Palmer asking, "Tell me again what I've been doing, Mike?" To which Novick responds, "Telling the truth." At this point the camera pans from Novick to Palmer before going into a cut-shot closeup of Palmer. Now look carefully at the background. The curtains are lit up from behind by sunlight. Keep watching. As the closeup shot pans slightly, you can see a sunny day and a building outside of an open window. This scene is supposed to take place less than an hour before midnight and with Senator Palmer hidden away from sight in order to maintain the ruse of his "death" in the explosion. (00:09:00)
11:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: Mike Novick and Senator Palmer are outside the car at Dr Ferragamo's office building when his office explodes. As they get back in the car, you can see over the shoulder of whichever gets into the rear, passenger-side. There is no one in the driver's seat, but when Palmer says, "Let's go," the car moves off immediately. (00:30:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jack is at the powerstation he checks his watch. It is 19:12:26, and it takes 1 min 57 seconds until we see the timer (yellow clock), which shows 19:13:47 and not 19:14:23 which it should be as the show is in real time. This is only a mistake if we consider agent Jack Bauer's watch as being accurate, but given how time-critical a lot of his work is, you wouldn't expect him to be casual about the time. (00:12:10)
Day 7: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When Agent Walker enters the building where Matobo is being held, Chloe tells her on com the stairway is to Agent Walker's left, she then immediately goes to the door to her right to enter the stairwell to let Jack Tony and Bill in from the roof.
Suggested correction: After saying there's law firms to the left (brown door) , and on your right is a suit of offices where Matabo's being held (glass doors)... Chloe says. "stairway is down the hall to your left." She then proceeded down the hall that's to her left. The door, however, is on the right-hand side of that hall. I can understand the person mistakenly understood that, but it's not a continuity error.
Continuity mistake: When entering the safe-house Nina walks past the lit lamp on a side table. Seconds later when Mrs. Bauer walks past, it is switched off. (00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: The clock just tells the viewer that it is 4:40am. Sen. Palmer interrogates his son about the rape of his daughter. In the room, there is a clock that shows 4:57am instead. (00:27:43)
Day 6: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the previous episode (approx 11:59 AM), Jack and Phillip are chained at the back of the van, and in the closeup Jack's handcuff double bar faces up on his right wrist. This moment is shown in the recap at the start of this episode. When the van reaches the dump site (approx 12:07 PM), Jack and Phillip are unchained and now Jack's handcuff single bar faces up on his right wrist. (00:01:55 - 00:07:55)
11:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When fleeing from the compound, Kim wears running shoes instead of the wedge sandals (or the flats she wore when Teri was raped).
Day 4: 1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: At the very end of Episode 18, Jack knocks out Joe Prado after breaking his thumb and getting information from him. At the very beginning of Episode 19, we see Prado already being treated for his injuries, with a hand splint, and nurses checking his head, within the CTU clinic. Even if you factor in the opening recap sequence at the beginning of every episode, that means that Joe Prado regained consciousness, Jack unhooked his handcuffs, and dragged him back to CTU in three minutes or less.
12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Kim is sitting on the roof of the furniture store she is looking straight ahead. However the camera changes and now she is looking down. (00:18:05)
12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Janet jumps up on a table at the furniture store and is joined by a bloke who proceeds to have a drink from a can of beer. The camera does a quick cut and the drinker's position has completely changed. (00:12:30)
12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When we first see Jack he has his hand up by his mouth and then by his chest. When the camera changes to show Kim, his hand is now lowered. (00:03:30)
12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: We see Palmer at the start make the decision not to use the word occasion. When he does, the woman who is writing his speech has her hand off the pad or much further up the pad depending on the angle. (00:03:05)
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: At the end of E23 Jack and Mrs Palmer crash their SUV. It shows the right front hubcap fly off. At the beginning of E24, when Jack tries to start the car, it is back on.
Day 2: 8:00 A.M.-9:00 A.M. - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: We see Kim having breakfast near the start. In one shot she has her fork in her hand. In the next she has a glass of juice. (00:11:45)
