The Very Important Zombie Affair - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: At the end, Illya leans in close to look at the voodoo doll Waverly holds. But when the shot cuts to a wider angle, Illya's suddenly standing up straight and leans in to look at the doll all over again. (00:46:15)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Revealing mistake: In the opening sequence, stock footage re-used from the first season has the peculiar result of turning a brief part of the otherwise all-color episode black-and-white. (00:00:20)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Visible crew/equipment: While Solo is reading Jojo's arrest record to her, the shadow of a film crew member's hand moves on the wall at the lower left of the screen. (00:14:15)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Pendleton swallows a suicide capsule and collapses at the interrogation table face down between two file folders. But when the shot cuts to a different angle, his head has instantly moved several inches to the right and is resting in the middle of one of the folders instead of in between them. (00:17:00)
The Dippy Blonde Affair - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Jojo shoots Illya, who falls into a pile of garbage cans, overturning a large cardboard box full of paper. When the camera angle changes, the box has not only moved a few feet to one side all by itself, it has also set itself upright again. (00:20:45)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: When Hubris and his henchmen confront Narouz, three of the men change positions instantly when the shot cuts to a closer angle. A few shots later, Malik instantly "jumps" from behind Hubris to a spot right beside him. (00:20:05)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Visible crew/equipment: When Hubris and his henchmen leave Narouz's bistro, the boom shadow is lurking on the block wall at the lower right. (00:20:45)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: Malik begins peeling an orange with his dagger as Hubris threatens to brainwash Solo. But when the shot cuts, he starts peeling the same orange all over again. (00:25:50)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Factual error: Solo's communicator starts transmitting all by itself. He's bound and tied when Illya calls, but somehow the "ring tone" stops and the frequency opens, allowing Illya to hear what the bad guys are saying, all while the unanswered and untouched device is still in Solo's pocket. (00:27:55)
The Deadly Goddess Affair - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: At the end, Solo and Illya are sitting at a small bistro table as the captured bad guys are marched past them. Solo wears a green fez, and between shots, Illya suddenly acquires a red one. It wasn't in his hands or on the table before that: it just seems to appear on his head out of nowhere. (00:48:35)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of someone who's not in the shot intrudes on the right side of the screen as Solo exits the communications room and enters the corridor. (00:02:15)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: A swarm of bees blackens the windshield of Solo & Illya's car. We see them in all the interior shots, but every time it cuts to an exterior view, the windshield is perfectly clear. (00:04:15)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: Tavia writes a receipt and hands it to Mozart. She still has the red pen in her hand until the shot reverses angles. Then the pen instantly jumps from her hand to the counter several inches away. (00:12:00)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: As Mozart is forcing Illya to take him into U.N.C.L.E. HQ's basement, Mozart suddenly acquires, between shots, a security badge that wasn't there before. (00:34:45)
The Birds and the Bees Affair - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: Mozart and his henchmen invade the honey shop. Illya tosses a chair at them. One man falls. Cut to Illya firing his gun, then back to Mozart - and the man who fell is suddenly in a different place and position on the floor. (00:41:00)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: When Carla enters Waverly's office, both the boom mike and its shadow are prominently visible at the top of the shot. (00:04:30)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Plot hole: Waverly installs the explosive ring on Solo's finger and arms it, then says, "No one is to know you've been issued a priority ring." Odd command. It's a huge and conspicuous gold and red ring that he can't take off, and everyone at U.N.C.L.E. knows what it is. So how can Solo possibly keep it a secret? (00:07:25)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: When Solo enters the scanning room, the shadow of the boom assembly sweeps down the wall on the right side of the door. (00:07:40)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: After George's hypnosis and brainwashing are complete, the boom slips into the shot at the upper right corner of the screen. (00:12:10)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: When Napoleon and Illya are briefing George after he is "brainwashed", Illya is standing up straight in front of George's chair, but then is suddenly leaning forward with his arm on the chair's back. (00:15:00)
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.
