Waste 'Em! - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: As the team track the disposal truck, the stop in the shadows out in the country. As they take off to go to the city hall, they leave from beside the same building they left to trail the truck, rather than the country scene.

Breakout! - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Just as Murdock gets to the point of jamming the brakes to stop the van, the chase scene is outside. If you look just to Murdock's left in the closeups, you can see a corrugated metal wall that isn't moving, with only the van bouncing a bit.

Movie Nut

Bounty - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: As the goons are trying to get the van to stop, it changes from a Ford van to a Dodge with a messed up bumper, and back to the Ford between shots, and the bumpers don't show any damage.

Champ! - S3-E16

Other mistake: In the Cable van, Face plugs the red and black leads of his control onto the wires. As he moves the controller into camera view, the black lead comes off, so the interrupter shouldn't work, but does anyway.

Movie Nut

Cup A' Joe - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: After Hannibal jumps from the semi and the trailer explodes, the tractor stops about 45° to the left. Later, they come back to the rig, and it now sits straight, and there is no scorched grass, or signs of any kind of explosion.

Movie Nut

Double Heat - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: As the van starts chasing the goon's car, you can see Hannibal has his rifle ready, the muzzle to the left of his face. In the close up after the thug starts shooting, he says his line, and motions for his rifle from Face.

Movie Nut

Trouble on Wheels - S3-E7

Other mistake: As the team is chasing the thug's truck, they toss explosives at it. The charges miss on either side, but the truck is hit anyway. As the truck comes to a rest on its side you can see that there is no engine in it. Also, as the team stops at the truck, the head thugs come out from behind the truck and try to run. They didn't have enough time to get out, let alone get ready to run.

Trouble on Wheels - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: As the team is driving through the warehouse, they are shooting up the place. The time that the car can get from one side of the space inside to the other at their speed is about three seconds. Unless they were driving in circles, they stopped inside to shoot people with oil squirting hoses, shoot up and wreck the place and get going. Even though the sound said they were moving, the physics say otherwise.

Movie Nut

Trouble on Wheels - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: While driving in and through the bad guy's warehouse, Murdock is driving and firing the gun on the driver's side. As the camera does a close up on him driving, you can see it is a reused shot of him driving outside, as you can see not only trees, but BA's relaxed arms behind him. Trouble there is that BA is firing the top mounted gun. Also, after the close up of Murdock, you see his left hand on the wheel. When the camera cuts to the driver's gun, his left hand is suddenly firing it, and behind that, you that the background isn't moving.
