Day 2: 2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: In the "Previously on 24" segment, after obtaining the memory chip, Jack says "We got the chip." In the previous episode, however, he says "We got it." (00:01:15)
Day 2: 2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. - S2-E19
Audio problem: When Tony tells Michelle that he told the president about the chip Jack found, they cut to a different angle, and Tony is still speaking, but his lips aren't moving.
Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. - S2-E22
Other mistake: In the beginning of the episode when the show is starting and the credits are rolling, instead of Billy Burke the credit is shown as Billy Gurke.
Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. - S2-E22
Plot hole: When Kim sees Gary she runs into the master bedroom, hides her bags, goes into the closet and up to the attic - all in the time it takes Gary to run five yards to the bedroom door. And considering how much noise the attic door made he should have heard her. Plus, how did she manage to get the door hatch closed when she had gone up?
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Plot hole: When Kim is brought back to the police station for the last time, the officer explains to her that they now know it was Gary Matheson who killed his wife, and that they are still looking for him. Why then, would Kim and her police escort not even consider the possibility that he might be hiding at his home when they arrive to get Kim's belongings? Even if the police searched the house once before, you would have to be insane to allow a teenage girl to enter the home of a known murderer on the loose. Beyond that, Kim herself never seemed to consider the threat.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Revealing mistake: After Kate Warner has picked up Kim Bauer, they are drving back to CTU in Kate's car. Unless I'm mistaken, when the car is shown, there is no number plate.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: When Kate Warner ascends the stairs in Kim Bauer bosses house, she holds her sunglasses in her left hand. When the camera changes she has sunglasses on her right hand and her left hand is empty.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Revealing mistake: When Michelle is in the van, waiting for the computer to finish analysing the conversation between Alex Hewitt and Sherry Palmer, the computer bleeps to says it has "heard" enough of the conversation to be able to recreate Hewitt's voice. How ever, it bleeps whilst Sherry is in the middle of talking. The computer should have made the noise about 15 seconds before.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Other mistake: When President Palmer is at District Headquarters, he addresses one of the workers as "Heather," but the character is credited as "Linda."
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: During the showdown between Jack and Kingsley at the colloseum, the shadows made by the early morning sun change throughout the sequence. By the time the SWAT-team arrives, the sunlight comes from the other side entirely. (00:20:50 - 00:29:45)
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Plot hole: Peter Kingsley is shot and killed by a man in a helicopter just as he is about to kill Jack. Kingsley would definitely have heard the helicopter approaching.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Other mistake: In the shootout at the stadium, several times when Jack fires a gun the sound of the gun firing is heard but it is obvious that the gun did NOT fire. Most noticeable when Jack fires the third shot at the man behind the wall and when he is struggling for the gun with the last guy who he beats up.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack and Sherry are running down the corridor, Jack is thrown against the wall. Look at the edge of the screen and you can see the camera that shot the last shot move.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Audio problem: In the french-dubbed over version, in the last seconds of the episode, just after Palmer has fainted and the camera is zooming out and the sound is fading, you can just make out his secretary shouting "Help", in english.
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.
Chosen answer: Nobody knew, not even the writers, until at least halfway through the season when they were writing the end. They wanted to keep all options open.
