Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: While researching Lydecker, Logan first pulls up a box that says Lydecker's wife was killed in 1998; shortly afterwards, Logan says that she was killed in 1995. (00:10:15)

Phoenix

Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Sanders pulls a gun out of the freezer we can see that the shelf is empty except for the ice trays. Seconds later when Lydecker takes the gun, there are small bottles of some kind there. They weren't among the stuff on top of the freezer that Sanders knocked off, either, so they didn't fall in. (00:34:40)

Phoenix

Blah Blah Woof Woof - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Lydecker menaces the corrupt cop by pointing the gun straight at his chin, but in the closeup he's moved closer and the gun is angled toward the cop's left cheek. Lydecker is back farther in the next shot. (00:04:05)

Phoenix

Blah Blah Woof Woof - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: There's a clock on the wall behind Sung during his interrogation of Normal. The second hand is just striking the 9 o'clock position when Sung asks Normal if he is "not a man to be taken lightly". It's still at that mark when the camera comes back to Sung almost fifteen seconds later. Later when Sung tells Normal about the parking tickets, the second hand skips from 12 o'clock to the 5. (00:20:15 - 00:28:20)

Phoenix

Blah Blah Woof Woof - S1-E9

Factual error: Max transfuses Logan from the inside of her elbow. The doctor pulls the needle out but doesn't bandage it. Neither Max or the cops are applying pressure as she is arrested. As any unlucky blood donor knows, without pressure and a bandage blood would be flowing copiously down her arm. (00:36:45)

Phoenix

Red - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: At the witness protection safehouse the popcorn on the marshals' table jumps from the center to a corner. It's back in the center when Max breaks down the door. (00:03:00)

Phoenix

Red - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: If you watch Max's witness grab in slow motion, Bruno on the couch changes from lying head toward the door to crouching facing the other direction while the bike is spinning. (00:03:30)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Sketchy goes to the art thief for a pickup at the beginning, the thief passes the painting from his left hand to his right twice after he opens the door. (00:05:45)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: There are a couple of times during Max and Logan's ride to the wedding that a shot on Logan shows Max's seat belt not touching her shoulder but the following shot on Max shows it flat against her. (00:09:35)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: Max jumps onto the dumpster behind the office and up to a window. Both times she is replaced by someone with a very different hairstyle: short instead of merely held up (slowmo helps). (00:20:50)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: The captain enters his quarters and leaves the door open behind him. When Max grabs the painting to leave the door is closed. She wouldn't have shut it because she was escaping immediately. (00:33:40)

Phoenix

Rising - S1-E13

Other mistake: In the English DVD subtitles Sebastian says, "In direct combat, they're is no warrior equal to the Red Series." "They're" should be "there". (00:24:00)

Phoenix

Female Trouble - S1-E15

Deliberate mistake: Towards the end, Logan is thinking about killing himself and the water drips from the ceiling. He is on the top floor, so nobody would be living above him.

Season 2 generally

Factual error: A major plot point for this season is that Max's genome has no "junk DNA." Instead, it's all coded for something. A standard human genome has about 95% junk DNA, with the remaining 5% coded for building proteins. However, research from the 1980s and 1990s indicates that junk DNA isn't junk at all, but rather explicit instructions to the cell on when and how to read the protein-building instructions. If Max doesn't have that, then her cells would never be able to build proteins and she would never have been born. Even though Max has extra coded DNA for an unknown purpose, there is still no way she could live without "junk DNA".

Phoenix

Original Cindy: He's from Manticore, huh? Say what you want - they sure know how to make 'em pretty.
Max Guevera/X5-452: Try spending an afternoon with him. He'll drive you crazy with his laughing, and his talking, and his breathing.
Original Cindy: Sugar, you got issues.
