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)
Continuity mistake: When Victoria orders everyone to put up their hands, Illya's left coat sleeve is covering his watch in full shots, but is several inches lower, exposing the watch, in all the close-ups. (00:45:15)
Continuity mistake: Vogler paints a target on Illya's shirt back and hunts him. The target remains constant through most of the chase, until a stunt double is brought in for a fight sequence. The double's target has a large "bite" taken out of the bull's eye. The bite goes away after the fight, and Illya's target is whole again. (00:29:20)
The Foreign Legion Affair - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: The woman sent to Solo's cell with food has two red jewels hanging from her headband onto her forehead. But after Solo finishes the meal, she suddenly has only one jewel attached to the headband. (00:18:15 - 00:28:10)
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 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)
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)
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 King of Diamonds Affair - S2-E25
Continuity mistake: When Solo and Miss Pogue are trapped in the shipping crate together, his hair combs itself between takes - several times. It's all over his forehead, then is suddenly neatly combed to one side, then is messy again. When the crate is opened, he's well-groomed once more. (00:32:25)
Continuity mistake: Langolius' cigarette in the long black holder disappears between takes as he picks up Solo's dossier to examine it. (00:14:15)
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)
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)
Revealing mistake: Miss Moonglow's lipstick supposedly glows in the dark. But when the lights go out, a badly superimposed special effect causes the glowing lips to remain completely stationary, even when she doesn't. Her head moves, but weirdly, the lips don't. (00:36:20)
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 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 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 Project Deephole Affair - S2-E26
Visible crew/equipment: When Waverly and Solo walk from the office into the corridor at U.N.C.L.E. HQ, part of the camera rig is showing, moving ahead of them, at the bottom right of the screen. (00:06:45)
The Children's Day Affair - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: During the gun battle outside the lodge, the tray full of bread dropped on the lawn moves itself several feet to the right between takes. (00:41:40)
Continuity mistake: While he's running through the woods with his hands cuffed behind him, Illya's sleeves alternate, between shots, from pushed up above his elbows to pulled all the way down to his wrists. (00:26:50)
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)
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.
