Swamp Molly - S1-E6

Swamp Molly - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When the truck goes into the water, you can see the driver was either a stunt driver or a dummy. Also, you can see the top of the truck just under the surface of the water, suggesting it was on the bottom. A few seconds later, and all you can see are bubbles.

The Big Heist - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: As "Sweet Talk" has Jessie and Daisy in the house at gun point, he has the shotgun at waist level. As they hear "Dixie" (the General's horn) the camera cuts in close to "Sweet Talk." He now has the gun at chest level. After he says 'Both of ya just sit still" it's at waist level.

Limo One is Missing - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After the boys jump the bad guys in the chop shop, they pull the guys up, and Luke draws his bow on them. When the camera angle changes, Luke is just drawing his bow again, saying "Uh, uh, uh, uh", warning them to stop.

Limo One is Missing - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: When spying on the hidden chop shop, the boys are using Cooter as a stepladder, with their feet on his shoulders. After he complains about their boots, they jump down after Daisy warns them. If you look at Cooter's shoulders, you can see that they're padded for the stunt.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: After picking up Marlowe, the deputy with them mentions the car following them. They're out in the wide open area, but the car in the mirror is in the downtown area. Then after a quick cut, they're in the downtown area of Springville again.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The boys already had dynamite arrows made up. When they go to stop Marlowe's car, Luke says "Twenty-five percent charge ought to do it." They weren't carrying any extra dynamite, and weren't carrying the bags that held the bows where they would have had the extra charges.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Factual error: While the boys are chasing Marlowe in town after he takes Price's gun, he fires at them. He fires eight shots out of a six shooter without reloading. Also, Luke puts an arrow into the car to stop Marlowe, and steam comes out. But the arrow is too far back to have hit the radiator, and it only went in about an inch, far too high to have even touched the radiator.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The road that the Dukes are travelling on was clear about two minutes before, and the thugs were right behind them. After turning around to go the right way, they find the area they just came through blocked by a semi. No way the truck could have been set there that fast.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the thug's car lands, you see it hit the ground in the distance shot. Then in the close up from the car mounted camera, you see it hit again.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: When the boys are stopping to check the ambulance, you can see the smoke device burning used to simulate the engine running badly.

Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane: Ya dun scuffed my ve-hicle.

Double Sting - S1-E13

Question: In this episode, Jessie, ticked off that he had to pay the boy's bail, says that the mortgage payment has to be made to Jason Higgins. I thought that J.D. Hogg held the mortgage to the Duke farm. Has my memory got a hole in it?

Answer: Hogg didn't own the farm and hold the mortgage until that episode. He says that he "bought aII Jason's hoIdings Iast week", but the Dukes didn't know about it and thought they still had to pay Higgins.
