Visible crew/equipment: When Illya, outside in front of the skyscraper office building, stands beside the cab talking on his communicator, the boom mike is visible over his head throughout the shot. (00:40:00)
The Pieces of Fate Affair - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: The establishing shot is of the real NBC Studios in Burbank, and the sign touts "KNBC-4," also the real Los Angeles NBC affiliate. But when we cut to a scene supposedly inside the studio, the call letters on the talk show host's desk are those of the fictional station KFLO. (00:00:05)
The Pieces of Fate Affair - S3-E23
Deliberate mistake: Because lawyers for real-life review columnist Judith Merrill were not amused by the parody of her and sued, the name Judith Merle is very obviously dubbed over throughout the episode (and changed in the credits) to Jody Moore. (00:32:50)
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Beirut at the bar in Singapore, he is holding his cigarette in his mouth. In the next shot, the hand holding the cigarette has inexplicably moved about a foot away. (00:00:10)
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: When the bad guys hang Marvin upside down, his tie comes loose and falls over his face. A few shots later, though, it somehow tucks itself back up again, even though his hands are tied and he couldn't have touched it. (00:23:45)
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: Illya slams the door on the approaching gunman and holds it with his foot until the lock is turned, then lowers his leg. Cut to a wider shot, and he takes his foot off the door all over again. (00:35:45)
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: Marvin has a homing-pigeon hat. When he's pushed off the precipice, his hat falls off. After a shot of his sister screaming, we cut back to Marvin still falling, and his hat is back on, falling off again. But it's somehow back on his head yet again when he's rescued a few scenes later. (00:38:45 - 00:40:10)
The Matterhorn Affair - S3-E24
Revealing mistake: During the fight in the cemetery, Illya's stunt double's face is fully visible several times. (00:42:50)
The Hot Number Affair - S3-E25
Continuity mistake: When Jerry is trying to convince the two Harrys that his dress design is safe, his arms are down by his side, but then inexplicably appear up on his chest. (00:17:10)
The Hot Number Affair - S3-E25
Continuity mistake: When Napoleon enlarges the picture of Ramona wearing the eponymous dress, and notices Buuder's name, the picture he's looking at changes from black and white to color. (00:18:10)
The Hot Number Affair - S3-E25
Continuity mistake: When Illya escapes from the sack he is trapped in and fights with the Thrush agent, his hair is flattened down like bed hair, but when he jumps over the cutting table, his hair is neatly combed. (00:28:55)
The When in Roma Affair - S3-E26
Audio problem: When Bruno takes Darlene to the dungeon to inject her with the truth serum, she screams quite loudly several times, but it's visible that she's gagged. Even if she was able to scream, it should have been somewhat muffled. (00:42:25)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Col. Picks is talking about the explosive apples being sold to U.N.C.L.E., the knife in his hands stuck in the apple is either held up straight or at a low angle, depending on the shot. (00:05:40)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Skully tells Col. Picks that Napoleon and Illya are in town, Picks has a glass of iced tea in his hands. His grip on both the glass and the straws constantly changes back and forth throughout the scene. (00:11:50)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: When Illya is captured by Col. Picks and is being force-fed a piece of apple, Picks' grip on his knife changes back and forth between shots. (00:17:15)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Revealing mistake: Gardner and Illya are chained to a mine shaft post and the Thrush bad guys trigger a cave-in to seal them in. As the debris falls, you can see the entire "stone" wall behind them rock and wobble flimsily from side to side. (00:23:50)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: When Daddy Jo shoots Napoleon's trousers, the shotgun in Jo's hands changes instantly from resting in his lap to raised, then back to his lap. (00:30:40)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: When Napoleon is trying to leave Nina's house, and Daddy Jo shoots the pair of slacks they're holding between them, Napoleon drops the part he's holding, while Nina still has a grip on her end. In the next shot, Nina isn't holding anything, and Napoleon drops his end a second time. (00:30:40)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: Illya changes clothes in mid car-chase. When he and Solo leap into the convertible and drive off, he's wearing a brown leather jacket and jeans. As they race down the road, he's suddenly in a dark blue suit and tie. When they jump out of the car again, he's back in the brown jacket and jeans. (00:45:45)
The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27
Continuity mistake: When Napoleon and Illya escape from the mine and chase after the Thrush truck, it is dark outside. For one shot of Napoleon and Illya in their car, it's very obviously daytime behind them. (00:46:20)
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.
