Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Max is holding Lydia over the balcony, one wide shot shows that Lydia is hanging at an angle because Max is only holding one leg, but every other shot shows that Lydia's hair and head point straight down. (00:39:20)

Continuity mistake: Max is wearing a baseball cap when she is arrested, and is still wearing it when she is waiting to be processed at Langford. She isn't wearing it or carrying it while they take her picture, log her belongings, and lock her down. In the prison yard, however, she manifests it in her empty right hand to give it to Break.

Dark Angel mistake picture

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Max is holding Lydia upside down from the window, in one shot of Max you can see the harness used to hold Lydia.

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Factual error: One of the bases for this show is the idea of computers and electronics being wiped out by an EM Pulse. With the amount of digital communications equipment still operational, it is inconceivable that the whole world system is inoperable, and rebooting of existing servers would have meant that the only information lost was that in transmission at the time of the pulse. A single pulse capable of erasing hard drives would have crushed everything between any two magnetic objects - i.e., parked cars would have slammed together regardless of how many pedestrians were standing between them.

Pilot (2) - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During their final conversation, shots on Max show that she is standing up straight but shots on Logan show Max in the background with her head tilted to her right. (01:22:00)

Phoenix

Female Trouble - S1-E15

C.R.E.A.M. - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: As Max examines Alina's photos in the beginning, she twists one vertically. In the next shot from below, all the pictures are horizontal again. (00:03:00)

Phoenix

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: On Max's first run with Sketchy, she spots a police drone and swerves in traffic to avoid it. In the shot where she swerves, Sketchy should be right behind her but has disappeared. (00:11:55)

Phoenix

C.R.E.A.M. - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Max leaves Logan to tell Alina about her father, she is wearing long pants and a denim jacket. On the ride over, she's back in her typical Jam Pony wear: fleece jacket and short pants (probably stock footage). When she gets to Alina's she's back in denim. (00:24:45)
