The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: After Lampkin tells his buddies to deal him into the poker game and how they'll clean out Diamond H cattle, when it cuts to the Maria and Charlie doing dishes, there is something at the left side of the screen that moves with the camera, which should not be seen onscreen (widescreen version).

The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: After Wonder Woman cautions JP about Lampkin, when JP tells the kids about Maria's apple pie note the open cabinet door over JP's shoulder, presumably to prevent reflections. After Jeff admits to being Lampkin's informer, when JP walks over to Jeff that cabinet door is closed and now we can see the reflections of array lighting/equipment (then when WW walks over both doors are ajar).

Super Grover

The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: After Steve finds out the truth about Lampkin, while the Deputy chases Steve in the jeep we can see a bit of the back end of the filming vehicle in one of the shots facing Steve, at the bottom left side of the screen (widescreen version).

The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: When Wonder Woman arrives at the Diamond H ranch, the housekeeper opens the front door and the reflection of lighting/equipment is visible on the glass. Additionally, there's a prominent flagpole at the front of the house with the Flag of Texas flying high, but the problem is it's being flown upside-down with the red stripe at the top, when it should be the white stripe at the top. Proud Texan JP Hadley would know better.

The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

Visible crew/equipment: While JP checks the kids before their breakfast he tells them they could all use more elbow grease behind their ears, and as the camera pulls back the shadow of the boom mic is moving on the wall, at the right side of the screen (widescreen version).

Super Grover

The Feminum Mystique: Part 2 - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman is spinning the XPJ-1 around, she's seen approaching the jet with her hands empty and her lasso on her side where it usually is. As the scene progresses, her golden lasso magically appears in her right hand even though she never reached down to pick it up.

Answer: The transformation twirling was invented for the 1970s TV series only, to explain her quick change from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman. However, it would have been nice to do a little spin homage in the movie.

Answer: She does. However, if she were to use any of her abilities as Diana Prince, everybody, including her enemies would be able to make the connection that Diana Prince and Wonder Woman are the same person which could be used to get revenge on her. By not using her abilities in her civilian disguise, nobody would suspect anything at all and she could keep herself and her friends safe.

So it was more a choice that she decided an Ice Skating move was less conspicuous than say, ducking in a phone booth like Superman? If Clark Kent enters a a phone booth, and Superman comes out, don't you think even the dull of mind would get the connection?

That's because Clark Kent has super speed so he can easily run into a phone booth quickly and leave as Superman as quickly too or whenever Clark does need to change into Superman out in the open, there's never around to see him change. It's a plot device that's really effective.

Could one man or gal. We're supposed to just believe almost everyone these two are around can't figure out of the obvious. Characters like Spider-Man and Batman can do this because of their masks, so these excuses just don't pass with me.

Answer: As Diana Prince she didn't have the super powers that Wonder Woman has, although as an Amazon princess she does have greater strength than normal humans. Diana's mom taught her how to transform her ordinary clothes into her Wonder Woman outfit (as opposed to just doing a quick change like Clark Kent does). Her outfit, which her mother gives her when she leaves includes the "golden girdle of Gaea." The girdle provides enhanced strength and heightens her other abilities. As to why she spins, it was a stylized choice to add something extra to the show and hadn't been done in the comics. Although they did change it up a bit due to budget and time. Later, Wonder Woman comic writers would include the spin into the comics, but by then it was generally to put her into her secret identity, not to give her her powers. But as to why Diana Prince doesn't have super powers in the 70's show, as opposed to other incarnations of her; the original TV movie pilot had Diana powerless like the character was during the Bronze Age of Wonder Woman (late 60's) when Diana decided to stay on Earth and became mortal. That series was not picked up, but a 2nd attempt at it, starring Lynda Carter, was and the series loosely based Diana on the first pilot but through magic could transform into the superhero Wonder Woman.
