Out of the Frying Pan - S8-E18
Continuity mistake: Vance slams the axe on the table and through a picture of the victim. However, when Vance removes the axe a minute later, the axe is through a different part of the picture. The 1st time the axe goes through the neck/shoulders of the man in the picture but when removed it's in the forehead. (00:29:50)
Continuity mistake: Episode 8x21, "Dead Reflection": When Tony and Ziva are staking out PO Donner's house, Tony's grip on the hot dog in his hand changes between shots. (00:11:40)
Other mistake: When EJ gets spooked near the end and turns to face a wall with a doorway to "North Stairway C", she faces the camera with her torch facing the camera directly. However behind her is a perfect shadow on The Wall of herself. This shouldn't be possible as the only source of light, as shown, is from her torch. Cade and Levin are in a different room so couldn't be their torches. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: When the victim falls to the ground in the pre-title sequence his eyes are closed and a pool of blood spills onto the floor from his mouth. When Tony and Ziva are examining the body and taking photo's of the victim, his eyes are now open and the pool of blood is gone from by his mouth. (00:00:50 - 00:03:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs and Ziva enter Second Chances to question the owner about Curtis, in the overhead shot Gibbs stops beside the counter, and the red tape mark is visible on the floor between his feet. (00:18:20)
Safe Harbor - S9-E5
Continuity mistake: The way DiNozzo holds the little black book changes between shots when he is first examining it. (00:11:20)
Safe Harbor - S9-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When Borin leaves to sign for the body, a little tape marker is visible at Gibbs' feet. (00:12:05)
Continuity mistake: The bottle of Pepto Bismol that Fornell places on the counter at the start simply vanishes from the shot. (00:04:05)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs is looking at the photo of the Dog Tags in his basement, the way he holds the photo changes between shots. (00:19:20)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs is talking to the chaplain about keeping daughters safe, the way he holds his coffee changes between shots. Note his grip on the cup. (00:23:00)
Continuity mistake: When we see young Gibbs sanding the birdhouse, the way he's holding the bird house changes between shots. It goes from being upright to on it's side. (00:35:30)
Factual error: Gibbs has a conversation with the father of the victim at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Something that would not be allowed by the guards of the Tomb. (00:36:50)
