Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Leper - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: When the balloon goes over the cliff, a very obvious dummy replaces Monk.

Mr. Monk and the Leper - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: Look at the stuntman who stands in for Tony Shalhoub when the balloon crashes and the basket scrapes and bumps along the ground. He is about fifty pounds lighter than Shalhoub, looks nothing at all like him and his hair looks like a Harpo Marx fright wig dyed black.

Mr. Monk and the Leper - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: When Monk is hanging from the cliff, in the shots looking down at Monk you can see the ocean through him.

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Revealing mistake: During the fight in the kitchen, piles of plates are knocked to the floor. The plates that we see hitting the ground all remain intact. Nevertheless, we hear the sound of plates smashing, and when the aftermath is shown, there is broken crockery everywhere. Clearly the plates used were made of plastic or some other unbreakable substance to minimise injury to the actors and stuntmen.

Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital - S5-E16

Revealing mistake: When Monk and the others are examining the crime scene, the "corpse" can be seen breathing (his abdomen is rising and falling) and blinking. There are various shots in this scene taken from behind the body looking into the room, and some of these are pulled back so that the body is visible while others are zoomed in so that it is not; this is not a mistake, but suggests that maybe the actor was told he would not be visible in these shots and so did not need to hold his breath.

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11

Revealing mistake: During the fight scene in the restaurant kitchen you can see that the woman is a stuntman, you can even see the horrible wig pop up off the stuntman's head a few times.
