Prison Break

Show generally

Other mistake: Between season 1 and 2 the opening there is a shot just as Dominic Purell's name comes up that features a blueprint. On the blue print, there are 2 distances visible - 7' 15" and and 23' 15." There are only 12" in a foot. (00:04:00)

Suggested correction: It does occasionally snow in such months. There is no rule about weather being certain. It's just what we consider usual for each season, e.g. winter = cold. Characters even comment on very "variable" weather in state.

Allen - S1-E2

Other mistake: When T-bag catches Michael in his cell looking for the Allen key, he says, 'What are you doing in my cell?' but he doesn't have his usual southern accent. (00:20:00)

End of the Tunnel - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Michael climbs up the rope to get to the room below the infirmary, the rope is hanging from the manhole cover, but he still manages to lift the cover whilst hanging from it. In the next shot where he looks down the manhole, it's clear that there is nothing other than the rope he could have held on to while lifting the cover. An impressive accomplishment, defying the laws of gravity. (00:38:00)

Season 2 generally

Other mistake: Near the start of the season Lincoln gets a bullet wound to his leg, However there is no exit wound, revealing the bullet is lodged in his leg. Yet he is able to run and move around with relative ease just hours after being shot.

Buried - S2-E7

Other mistake: When Sara's dad is found dead, Sarah pulled him, so his body dropped on the floor with his key, but this key is different from the other square key that they used it to open his private locker. (00:16:30)

Rendezvous - S2-E10

Other mistake: Sara sprints the short distance to Mahone's car. Halfway through her sprint the camera changes to Michael for 23 seconds, then back to Sarah, who has covered less than 10m in that time. (00:26:30)

Chicago - S2-E16

Other mistake: After Michael, Lincoln, Sara, and Kellerman jump the train, the scene of the police in pursuit pulling into a clearing is the same from the 'Dead Fall' episode - just a different shot. (00:35:05)

Suggested correction: That happens as he is put on the couch unfortunately I've seen enough people passed out through drink and or drugs that when moved do move their arms or legs slightly.

Good Fences - S3-E4

Other mistake: In this episode Nieves is killed by Bagwell. At the end of the episode his body is shown being collected by the gravedigger and guards. However, Nieves is still fully clothed. Everytime someone dies in Sona they are stripped of all possessions and clothes by other inmates.

Vamonos - S3-E7

Other mistake: When the driver hits Sucre's car you can see a doll in the driver seat. And after the fight Gretchen gets in the car by herself and starts the car on the wrong side (the passenger seat), plus when she leaves the dead body disappears. (00:34:22)

Gert-Jan Vermeire

Scylla - S4-E1

Other mistake: Michael goes to Fox River in April. Maricruz gets pregnant in the same month. In mid-June, when Michael get arrested in Panama, she's still pregnant. That's 2 months. He was in there for about 2 weeks, due to his deal with the company. Therefore, he would have escaped Sona at the end of June or the start of July. The start of Season 4 is set 3 weeks after the escape from Sona, so Maricruz should be 3 months pregnant, but gives birth at the start of season 4, meaning that the baby is 6 months early but looks very healthy.

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Quinn falls in the well, he falls through and subsequently destroys the well cover. At the end of the episode when the Secret Service boys show up, an undamaged cover is lying next to the well, which Kellerman uses to cover it up. (00:29:30 - 00:38:30)

Greatness Achieved - S4-E9

Question: How does Don Self know that Miriam should work at Gate when nobody knew about the location of Scylla? Or Whistler wanting to work there?

Answer: Don Self actually worked with Whistler before he died. And Whistler with the bird book actually knew where Scylla was.

Answer: Because Miriam was an agent.

But that still doesn't make sense because nobody knew where Scylla was.

He knew that GATE was mentioned in the bird book. He worked with Whistler and had probably discussed GATE with him, so it was clear enough that it was a big part of the plan to get Scylla. Sending an agent to work there in any position would've been a big help for intel, as she could assess the environment and perhaps uncover what Whistler's plan was. He didn't anticipate T-bag's hijacking of the plan, hence why he sent Miriam and not a more combat-trained agent. She was only there for information.
