Continuity mistake: Sydney and Nigel are talking with Robert Blaine at the beginning of the episode. When he mentions the Nepalese people there's a close-up on them. One student wearing a white T-shirt is walking up some steps - but in the next shot he is walking down other steps situated earlier in his path. A few seconds later, another flub with an extra; Nigel stops the museum curator just as an extra wearing white clothes enters the frame, but the person is gone in the sudden cut. (00:06:25)
Continuity mistake: When shirtless Nigel knocks some rocks off the Buddha's exterior, he leans back with both arms spread. In the next shot, Tia Carrere's arm crosses with his, but he was on his own, at distance from her. (00:27:10)
Continuity mistake: When Nigel spots the skeleton inside the Buddha statue, in its close-up it is lit very differently compared to the rest of the scene. (00:29:30)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney receives the bowl from Buddha in the flesh (of course she would) her hands are under it, but in the next shot they touch the rim. (00:40:40)
Smoking Gun - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the prologue, Young Murray finds a man he does not know sitting at a table. He advances towards him in a wide shot of the room, and the man positions his left hand on the corner of the table, but in the following closer angle on him, his hands are close together exactly like in the initial shot by the same angle. It's like the middle one never happened. (00:03:10)
Continuity mistake: Nigel accidentally (unconvincingly so) steps on the Beautiful Nun 's bathrobe in a close-up. His toothbrush hand is down his hip, in frame, but when they both gasp in a reaction shot, the toothbrush is between them. (00:17:30)
Continuity mistake: Nigel wonders why prisoners write on walls. He moves the flashlight from the left hand to his right. When he walks back and the shot changes though, instantly it is back in his left. (00:22:10)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney Fox retrieves the parchment with the map, she holds it differently (probably turned 180°) between the close-up and the reverse shots. It also should be noted that the world-class archaeologist just casually dumps on the floor like a piece of garbage a ornate XVI century flask. (00:23:50)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney talks her inexperienced assistance into a reckless climb, Nigel is leaning against he truck in the close-up, when he was not in the rest of the chat. (00:30:25)

Continuity mistake: When Sydney has the "Book of Love" from the limo she starts to read it. In one shot she holds the book firmly with her hands wrapped around it. But when the motorcyclist grabs it she is holding the bottom of the book in the tip of her fingers [To aid the stunt].
Continuity mistake: When Nigel is being held at gunpoint, the distance of the gun from Nigel's neck changes between shots when they are in the shipwreck.
Continuity mistake: Sydney is reminiscing about her Peruvian fling; in the foreground her client is taking a sip of wine, and the glass is about half empty. It is already much fuller in the next shot. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: Curled up in the bunk bed, Nigel apologizes for the plot contrivance hit to Sydney's noggin. He is clutching the book, with his hands in obviously different spots between the two shots. (00:10:55)
Continuity mistake: The package Nigel holds in his arms near the beginning of the episode completely changes between shots.
Antianeiral - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Sydney sees the huge women trying to burn the professor's research, she hurls her knife at the huge woman's hand knocking the lighter onto the floor flat. But seconds later the lighter is upright and then falls to light the trail of gas.
