Recipe for Heavy Bread - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: After the chopper joins the chase, it's easy to tell the difference between the real actors and the stunt crew as their appearance alternates between action angles, and the close ups.

Audio problem: As General Chow walks away from the chopper, the sounds are of it starting to power down, but the rotor blade shadow suggests the chopper is already fully powered down.

When You Comin' Back, Range Rider? (1) - S2-E5

Other mistake: When the van is brought up out of the water, it's easy to tell it's not the real van. The wheels are different, and the side doors are double, rather than a single sliding door. Also, when Crane opens the door and looks inside, you can see the grille of the vehicle because the engine and shroud are missing.

Labor Pains - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning during the bridge jump scene, the A-Team van changes. It suddenly has round headlights, its hub caps can be seen popping off when it lands, and it doesn't have any spotlights. The real van has double square shaped headlights, steel spoked rims, and spotlights. (00:05:20)

Mister Ed

Steel - S2-E11

Factual error: During the final battle, Hannibal is holding and firing an M-60 machine gun. However, his firing pattern is way too smooth, according to veterans that have done it.

Movie Nut

Face: In no time, he'll be running around like a Mexican Jack Rabbit. One that just got out of therapy.

Answer: Several times, Face would pose as a doctor to get Murdock out of the Mental Hospital. How easy would it have been to convince airport officials that he was a doctor taking a sedated patient on board? Or simply tell them, this man is afraid of flying, so he had to be sedated. They could say, "Believe me, you don't want this man to be awake."

Answer: The reply does not answer the question. It does not ask how they sedated him, but how a sedated person can be checked in at the airport.

Answer: In the pilot episode, they would give him a tranquilizer dose with a needle injection. In two episodes, he tried to fly awake but went wild once in the air. In another episode, when hijackers held a plane, it was on the ground. When it took off, B.A. went into a catatonic state.
