Prophecy of Doom - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: When the passengers are evacuating the sinking ship after the bomb goes off, there is a shot shown from above, of passengers running up the stairs.

Casual Person

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: The pothole with the mud that Rupert Thorne's henchman kicks at Harvey Dent appears from nowhere.

However, in the previous shot, the ground shown between the police officer and Carlos contains no pothole. (00:04:35)
