Smallville

Talisman - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: When Clark sees that Jeremiah is in the loft, Clark stands up and closes the book he was reading as he says "What are you doing here?". The very next shot from behind Clark shows that the book is back to being open.

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: Martha asks Clark to come out after he gets glasses. In the shot showing all three of them, Clark comes into view on the left side of the screen and is turned toward his parents. The very next shot shows he is just walking through the door of the optometrist and turned away from his parents as he closes the door.

Covenant (2) - S3-E22

Audio problem: After Clark tells Lex why he didn't tell him that Lex's father killed his parents Clark finishes his line by saying "...I couldn't live with that." The camera jumps to Clark's right and you can see he says "I couldn't live with that" again only no sound is heard.

Forsaken (1) - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: As Emily lies on the ground unconscious after being hit with the water, she is first shown lying there with her right arm bent up and her hand up by her head. After a quick shot of Clark she now has her right hand down by her side.

Shattered - S3-E8

Audio problem: Lana pours Lex a cup of chamomile tea from a Thermos, however the cap is still on the Thermos, despite the sound of liquid being poured. When Lana moves the Thermos, the red dot on top of the plastic cap can be seen.

Delete - S3-E11

Revealing mistake: The computer that Molly takes the hard drive from is shown as having no power cord plugged into the back of the unit. With no power being supplied to the unit the hard drive would not be displaying a picture on the monitor, the monitor itself maybe plugged up but no signal from the computer would be going to it, and we see that the wallpaper on the screen is immediately taken off when Molly unplugs the hard drive.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Jonathan comes home from the hospital the length of rolled up sleeve on Jonathan's left arm changes between shots. As Jonathan says "Low sodium turkey?" the sleeve is down to just about touch the watch he is wearing. When the camera jumps to Jonathan's left side, as Martha turns around, the sleeve is now several inches higher and further from his watch than it was before. Jonathan does nothing to his sleeve between shots.

Hereafter - S3-E12

Plot hole: Outside the school, as Clark is talking to Jordan, there is a lot of people in the surrounding area. Clark looks up and sees the coach standing in the street and the car slams on its brakes to avoid hitting him, this causes the tires to screech thus drawing attention to the incident. Clark realizes that the coach is about to be hit by the car and uses his super speed to save him. Yet nobody seems to wonder how he suddenly appeared next to the coach just in the nick of time.

Memoria - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: When Lionel Luthor shows Clark the video clip of Belle Reve from the episode "Asylum", Lex says "I know your secret Clark". However, in the actual episode of "Asylum" he simply states "I know your secret", without saying "Clark" at the end.

Asylum - S3-E9

Audio problem: When Lex gets outside and makes a run for the gate you hear the sound of Lex running on a gravel or small stone covered walkway. However, several time we are shown his feet and he is actually running on a regular concrete walkway.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: In Pete's rearview mirror there is only a couple of hundred feet between Jason's car, which is in the process of crashing at the time, and the bridge. In the next shot of Jason's car almost a mile away from the bridge. Drastically different distances.

Perry - S3-E5

Audio problem: While Clark says "next time I could hurt you or mom." the camera is behind him. As he says "you or mom" his head is turned so that you can see his lips do not match the words being said.

Velocity - S3-E13

Factual error: In the scene where Clark stops Pete on the country road and is trying to talk Pete out of racing, mountains can be seen in the distance. There are no mountains that tall in Kansas. (00:09:55)

Suggested correction: You see a person walk behind her in a corridor. Since it is very obvious and occurs during a short cut where nothing else is happening, it is deliberate. A fundamental rule on film sets is that once "action" is called, no-one moves if they don't have to. If a crew member had walked through the shot like that, they would have done a new take or just use a different segment of the shot.

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Lionel and Lex are talking, after they sit down, near the end of the conversation, Lionel asks who Lex's source is. Lex is looking straight ahead. In the next shot, we see Lex turn his head to face his father. In the next shot, Lex is looking straight ahead again.

Bishop73

Perry - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: After Clark drives the fence post in too deep, Jonathan comes up to him to talk. Clark is not moving, but in the next shot he has another fence post in his hand.

Delete - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Clark goes to Molly's and Lex is there, Lex asks if this is the disc Clark is looking for. Lex holds the disc up in one shot between his 1st and 2nd finger. In the next shot he's holding it between his thumb and 1st finger.

Asylum - S3-E9

Audio problem: When one of the Ian doubles is talking to Lex, the other double is kicking Clark, but we don't hear any of the kicks, even though we hear them in other shots.

Bishop73

Shattered - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Lana being stepped on by the horse, her right arm is out by her side and her hair is covered with the wood shavings lining the stall. In the next shot of her, her right arm is up so that her right hand is by her head and her hair isn't covered with the shavings. Her arm is back out by her side in the next shot when Clark arrives.

Trivia: Clark always wears blue and red clothes (or at least one of these colors). No surprise that when he got his Superman costume, he chose those same colors.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
