Revealing mistake: When Cordelia goes to see Lilah, the eyelashes of her real eye can be seen blinking Underneath her "black" eye after she sits down.
Revealing mistake: When Groo rushes in to battle the tree demon, a cobweb gets stuck to the camera as it pans in.
Sleep Tight - S3-E16
Revealing mistake: When Angel is seen gulping the blood from the cup (right before Lorne tells Angel that Connor needs some papa-love) you can see this is a special-effects cup (it's like one of those freezer mugs, where there's a layer of liquid on the outside). If Angel were really drinking out of the cup the way it's shown, he would have blood all over his lips and it would be running down his chin.
A New World - S3-E20
Revealing mistake: The first stake that Conner fires from his stake cannon (Obviously CGI) doesn't seem to emerge properly from the barrel of the cannon, it emerges out of thin air from the side. (00:01:25)
A New World - S3-E20
Revealing mistake: The Axe that Groo throws at Conner at the start of the episode (Obviously CGI) doesn't match the movements of his hand, it leaves his hand before he actually throws it. (00:01:40)
A New World - S3-E20
Revealing mistake: When Connor runs out of the hotel and Groo and Gunn drag Angel out of the sunlight, Angel's reflection can be seen in the door behind him just as Cordelia steps outside. Angel is a vampire: he should not cast any reflection.
Ground State - S4-E2
Revealing mistake: In 'Ground State' when Gwen is walking towards the lift in Irwin's building you can see Angel's reflection on the shiny door. Vampires don't have reflections, as is demonstrated at various other times in this show.
Revealing mistake: When Gunn, Fred and Lorne run out to the Las Vegas strip, a large crowd of bystanders can be see seen in the background watching the show being filmed (as said in the DVD commentary). (00:28:25)
Revealing mistake: When the gang attack the vampires in the bowling alley, watch as Jasmine and Fred walk over the bowling lanes in the background as the others fight the vampires. Jasmine slips on the floor but manages to maintain her balance. You'd think a deity with superhuman strength, telepathy, shape-shifting and psychic capabilities would be able to walk on a smooth floor without slipping and also know that it was smooth to begin with. Although she may lack friction, the shot should have been re-filmed as it is a blatant mistake.
The Cautionary Tale Of Numero Cinco - S5-E6
Revealing mistake: When Angel says to Wesley that "Fred has got something," and then walks out of the room, Angel's reflection is visible in a window pane in front of him. It's very brief, but it's there. (00:31:05)
Revealing mistake: During the whole slow motion fighting scene in the bar the punches clearly miss their targets.
Answer: Nope, it's not Darla - that's Rachel from the episode "In The Dark", the third episode of the show (the one with Spike's magnificent opening monologue).
