Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Lionel finish their discussion in the cave the shot focuses on the Naman/Segeth glyph and focuses through the glyph to a transition shot of an island that Lex is on. When we first see this island it is flat and covered with trees. The next time the island is shown there is now a large volcano/mountain that was not their when we first see the island.
Continuity mistake: As the two racers speed past Clark and Martha, in the truck at the intersection, Pete's red car does not have its neon lights on in the back window and under the rear spoiler. Then in the next shot, while still racing, both the blue neon lights in the back window and the green neon under the rear spoiler are on.
Continuity mistake: When the weather vane falls to the ground the rooster portion of the vane gets bent. When Jonathan picks it up and starts to angrily walk away from Martha and Clark it is straightened.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the doctor takes the mouthpiece out of Lex's mouth, then the scene cuts to Clark. When it cuts back to Lex, the mouthpiece is back in his mouth.
Continuity mistake: After Clark gets his powers back the cut on his cheek heals and leaves only blood on his cheek. While still at the power generator he goes to wipe this blood off of his face with the back of his hand only in the shot just before you see his hand go to wipe, a second before his hand actually appears on screen, the blood that was on his cheek is now gone as if it was already cleaned.
Continuity mistake: As Lana starts her second swing at Chloe with the axe while the camera is in front of Lana Chloe is just barely getting up and is still close to the floor. The camera switches in mid-swing and suddenly Chloe is completely standing and is able to jump back to dodge the swing.
Continuity mistake: When Seth is testing his powers in the hospital room he tries to move a cart at the foot of his bed. To do this he has to raise his hand to use the magnetic power he has. In shots from the front his right hand is palm down using his power but when the shot switches to behind Seth, to show the cart starting to move, his palm is now turned towards his left. His hand is back to being palm down when the shot switches back to the front.
Continuity mistake: When Lex tells Clark about Lionel finding the wire, Clark moves over to Lex and says that finding something incriminating on Lionel shouldn't be too difficult. Between shots, Lex and Clark's positions change in relation to each other.
Phoenix (2) - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Lex pulls the gun on Linoel, when the camera is on Lex he is pointing the gun in Lionel's face. When the camera is on Lionel, Lex is pointing the gun in Lionel's chest.
Continuity mistake: When Clark goes to give the flowers to Sarah, her uncle answers the door. The first shot is of the uncle through a flyscreen door, which he opens. We then see a shot of Clark outside the door, and then the uncle opens the flyscreen door a second time.
Continuity mistake: When Lana undresses before jumping into the lake, she kicks all her clothes right beside Clark's feet. But in the shot where she dives off the end of the pier, all of the clothes are piled well away from Clark.
Continuity mistake: During the flashback that happens at the Luthor mansion, the one that starts with the cup shattering on the floor, young Lex is shown peeking through a slightly cracked open door. Just after Lionel asks the nanny to give him Julian there is a shot of Lex peeking in and you can see that he has hair on his forehead. Now Lex, at this point, would have been bald, as a result of the meteor shower in Smallville for several years and would have no hair at all on his head in this flashback. In fact when Lionel finally realizes that Lex is outside the door we see that Lex has no hair on his head.
Suggested correction: Lex is bald but still has eyebrows. There's never a shot of young Lex with hair on his head. You never even see his head when he's peeking, but you do see the hair from his eyebrows.
Continuity mistake: As Lana is walking up the stairs to Clark's barn loft, from the front shot Clark has his hands to his side. When the camera jumps to behind Clark, watching Lana ascend the stairs as she says "I, uh, came by to say thank you." now Clark's right hand is behind his back and not to his side.
Continuity mistake: Martha is putting together a flower arrangement. When Jonathan is talking about Clark not eating the last piece of cherry pie, in a shot of Martha and Jonathan, Martha is picking up a branch of white flowers and holding it in front of her. When the shot switches to Clark, you can see her putting this same branch of white flowers in the vase even though she made no motion to do so in the previous shot. This is supposed to be continuous since you can hear Jonathan talking between the shots.
Continuity mistake: As Clark stands outside the room where Lex has just got his shock treatment the blood on his cheek is back even though his cheek wound was healed and he wiped any residual blood off in the previous scene at the power generator.
Continuity mistake: Just before Clark gets the call from Lana we see inside the trunk of Pete's car. At this point there is a coiled rope in the trunk turned parallel to the rear of the car. When Pete gets the rope for Clark a little later the rope is turned perpendicular to the rear of the car.
Continuity mistake: As Perry and Clark talk for the last time in this episode the sunlight in the scene changes between shots. As they step out of the truck the sun is behind them as they walk towards the road where the bus is going to stop. When Perry turns to face Clark the sunlight, which should now be hitting Perry right in the face, is instead casting a bright orange light on the back of Perry's head.
Continuity mistake: While Clark and Pete are playing basketball, in the wide shot Clark and Pete, and the side of the barn where the hoop is, are in full sunlight. When the shot zooms in Clark and the barn are now in shadow.
Continuity mistake: The first time Seth tries levitating a spoon, he floats it a few inches towards him. When Lana enters and breaks his concentration, it falls back down almost exactly where it had been.
Suggested correction: Even though it's impossible to tell how much the spoon moves towards him, the spoon was in the middle of the jello, then lands in front of the jello, a few inches away from the middle.
Continuity mistake: In the head on shot of the car that almost hits Mr. Altman you see the driver of that car react by turning his car to the left. In the very next shot, as Clark and Mr. Altman are just coming to a stop after Clark's high speed rescue, the driver is now turning his car to the right, as shown by which way his wheels are turned.
