(5 votes)

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Tony and Bob are trapped at the bottom of the mine, Bob is trying to free himself from the plank of wood resting on him and you can see there is a square pole on the plank. The pole changes position between shots.

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Bob and Tony are trapped in the bottom of the tin mine, Bob is seen sitting down with both his hands on a plank of wood, but in the next shot he has only one hand on the wood.

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Tony is trapped on the cliff edge at the beginning of the episode, he reaches for his bag which can be seen standing up, but in the shots when we see his hand trying to grab the handle, the bag is lying down.

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When the Hood becomes entangled in the branches in the ravine at the end of the episode, the branches break and he falls into the river below, but when he falls, the branches have disappeared.

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Scott first approaches the boys after the 'rescue', his sidearm can be seen to be missing the usual red barrel covering.

Cry Wolf - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: The characters all refer to Williams's station as Dunsley Tracker, but in a close-up of the console, the caption above the alert light reads 'Densley Tracker'.

Path of Destruction - S2-E2

Plot hole: In order to build up suspense, Virgil and Brains stand on the Crab Logger as its dangerous fuel is pumped out, despite the fact that it is hanging on the edge of a precipice. In fact they could have left as soon as they had plumbed in the pipes to empty the fuel tanks - the whole procedure is controlled by Scott in Thunderbird 1 and they make absolutely no contribution to the operation at all. They do not need to disconnect the pipes; they are left behind and dropped from Thunderbird 1 as planned. They just stand there chatting about how much danger they are in until jumping clear at the very last second. Silly buggers.
