CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Uninvited - S14-E18

Continuity mistake: Finn places a male symbol sticker on a board. First of all, the symbol is wrongly placed; the arrow should be pointing to the 2 o'clock position but It is at 5 o'clock. Next shot the arrow points to 7 o'clock.

Long Road Home - S14-E17

Continuity mistake: The dead blonde girl's head changes from looking over her right shoulder to looking straight to looking over her left shoulder in three consecutive shots before anyone touches her.

Girls Gone Wild - S14-E10

Continuity mistake: When the girls are first seen standing on the side of the road, Morgan has red sandals on; when she has her foot up on the bumper of the car, she appears to be wearing black sneakers and then has the sandals again when the shot pulls back.

Frame by Frame - S14-E5

Factual error: Throughout the episode, people refer to the previous murder as occurring 14 years ago. That puts it in 1999, yet we know it was in 2000, thanks to photos and other evidence.

Take the Money and Run - S14-E2

Revealing mistake: When the shot security guard's wife demands to see him before he's taken out of the casino, the body bag he's in is unzipped, and the "dead" body very swallows, a fraction of a second before the focus is pulled back to his wife.

Daddy's Little Girl - S6-E13

Audio problem: Warrick is examining the garage for evidence and sees a stack of crates of soda, he sees one has a bullet hole in it. He picks it up and shakes it, it rattles, demonstrating the bullet is still in the can. He pops the ring to open it and it hisses, despite the fact that the bullet hole in the side would have let the pressure out. They clearly used an unopened can to film the scene.

Split Decisions - S12-E19

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jules whacks the slot machine, you see a small dent up close, but in the next shot the wheel is badly damaged. When you see Jules move to the table, the wheel is not damaged at all.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sara is talking to Avery while he is packing his bag, you see him wrapping the headphones around his iPod and putting them in the bag, but in the next shot he puts them in his bag again.

CSI Down - S12-E5

Continuity mistake: By the helicopter you can see that they are loading the victim on the chopper, and the police officer is inside already. 10 seconds later when CSI Brody is running towards the chopper, the 2 men carrying the victim are now 5-10 feet away from it. (00:02:20)

I Like to Watch - S6-E18

Visible crew/equipment: When Sofia and Brass arrive at the interrogation room where Dwight is, you can see a red tape mark on the floor outside the door which Louise Lombard promptly glances down at and makes a point of placing her left foot on it. This has nothing to do with the fact that the "Hard Crime" film crew are following them because they're only observing.

Dead Ringer - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Grissom notices the body and pulls over, in the close up of him you can see that the steering wheel never moves: he just moves his hand to make it look like he's pulling over.

Getting Off - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Jamal is been helped out of Ed Burnell's wrecked BMW 7 Series, the wrecked car is a late 80s-early 90s E32 model. However when Burnell was driving it at the beginning of the episode, it was a newer late 90s-early 00s E38 model. Again, the production crew couldn't afford to wreck a brand new car so an older one was substituted.

Chasing the Bus - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: The Camaro at the crash scene is a late second generation model (built from 1970 - 1981), however in the flashbacks to the crash it's a third generation car (82 - 92). The difference in body styles is quite pronounced.

TheHeartbreakKid15

Ellie - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Brass is searching for Ellie's car on his in-car computer, it identifies it as a 1976 Camaro, however when he spots it and calls for back up, he says it's a '78 Camaro. Additionally, the licence plate is also different to what was listed on the computer.

Show generally

Question: Is there an episode in which someone gets impaled by an icicle? I seem to recall the team not being able to find the murder weapon, and then someone realized that it had melted. This could also be CSI: New York.

Answer: The episode on CSI:NY was called "Love Runs Cold" and first aired on October 4, 2006 (Season 3, Episode 3) and involves the investigation of a model found stabbed to death by an ice dagger.
