The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Audio problem: When Parviz realizes Napoleon stole his gun, his mouth doesn't move when he says "My pistol." (00:20:35)
The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Character mistake: When Alexander organizes the human chess game in his courtyard, the "pieces" stand the wrong way on the board, with a dark square in the lower right hand corner. That corner is always a light square. (00:22:50)
The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Parviz starts the blade swinging while he's standing directly behind it. In the very next shot, he instantly "jumps" to a position on one side instead. Probably a wise move. We're just not sure how he did it so fast. (00:44:10)
The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Plot hole: Bad guys tie lousy knots. Solo's bonds at the end are so loose that he easily slips his feet free to stop the swinging blade. And the rope across his chest does nothing to pinion his elbows or lower arms. He could have reached up with his hands to catch the blade at any time. (00:44:30)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: In the underground corridor, Illya knocks out a Thrush guard and then sits down to wait for Solo to turn off the electric beam blocking the way inside. Behind him, the "unconscious" guard moves his foot. (00:29:05)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Cervantes shoots Rodriguez, a shell casing from his gun lands on the metal storage container beside him. But in the next shot of him, it's disappeared. (00:31:25)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The whipped cream covering Salty's arm and hand, as she holds the mini explosive pulled from the dessert, is very thick in the first shot of her, much thinner in the next, thicker again in the next, and almost completely gone in the last shot. (00:42:20 - 00:43:45)
The Foxes and Hounds Affair - S2-E4
Visible crew/equipment: In the cell, as the camera pans across to Solo at the door, the shadow of someone's hand slapping a large, rectangular shape can be seen on the wall. (00:34:00)
The Re-Collector's Affair - S2-E6
Factual error: Posing as an art collector, Solo tells the Re-collectors that he owned a valuable painting looted 20 years ago by the Nazis during the war. Improbable at best, and oddly, they don't seem at all curious as to how the 30-something Solo might have afforded such a treasure when he'd have been 12-15 years old at the time. (00:08:45)
Visible crew/equipment: In the sand dune fight in the teaser scene, Illya's stunt double's face is viewable as he jumps on his attacker and rolls down the slope. (00:03:25)
Continuity mistake: Sophie throws a knife that hits Illya in the front of one leg. But when the camera angle widens, she's standing on a dune behind him, nowhere near the area from which the knife was thrown. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: When Illya beats Sulador in their poker fight, the position of the hot portion of Illya's poker changes, relative to Sulador's throat. (00:38:55)
Factual error: Thrush lands a rather large private jet right next to its secret lab. In the Arabian desert. In the sand. Without a runway. (00:39:20)
The Tigers are Coming Affair - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: Illya takes off his shoes before swimming across the river, but somehow has them back on again a few shots later. (00:27:45 - 00:29:10)
The Tigers are Coming Affair - S2-E8
Revealing mistake: The underwater bomb, according to the bad guys' dialogue, is supposed to be triggered by a boat hitting a tripwire strung between two buoys. But it explodes when the boat is still several feet away from the buoys. (00:44:30)
The Tigers are Coming Affair - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: The gag covering Suzanne's mouth changes position (the patterns on the cloth have shifted) when she gets up to kick the bad guys off the dock into the water. (00:44:40)
The Deadly Toys Affair - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Illya fights with the Thrush agent on the cliff top, the Thrush agent's hat mysteriously disappears from his head. It's never seen falling off, and he never takes it off since he's occupied with Illya. (00:12:15)
The Deadly Toys Affair - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: The remote-controlled model plane with the explosive on board keeps changing colors between shots. It's yellow and blue at first, then yellow and red, and in one shot, it's red and white. (00:12:30)
The Deadly Toys Affair - S2-E9
Character mistake: Both on the superimposed title of Act II, and at the airport on the large printed sign attached to the animal carrier, the word aardvark is misspelled "aardvaark." (00:17:45 - 00:24:25)
The Deadly Toys Affair - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Joanna learns from the hotel waiter that he saw Illya and a chambermaid going into the woods. But she later tells Illya that she saw him leaving with the girl, and goes on to describe the chambermaid - a person she never saw. (00:32:55)
Answer: He must have ridden in an Eaton's store elevator while he was in Canada at some point. For some reason, this elevator reminds him of it. The show's original concept had Solo being a Canadian, so this may be a minor nod to that fact.
