The Wild Wild West

The Night of the Big Blackmail - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Before and after the first freeze frame, West's hair is combed from the right side to left. During the next scene when West's hat comes off during the fight, his hair is combed from the left side. In the next scene in the boxcar, his hair is back to being combed from the right. In the last scene of this episode when West is in the boxcar, he has a completely different hair cut. It is much shorter than in the previous scene, very flat looking, and is parted on the left. This last shot makes Mr. West appear to have a receding hairline.

The Night of the Juggernaut - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: In the last scene right before West walks into the boxcar, the front of the train shows the number 16, and the square area around the front light is grey with swirl designs above and below the light. At the end of this scene, the last shot is of the front of the train, and it is showing the number 8 with the square area around the front light is red.

The Night of the Fugitives - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: West uses a chandelier to knock down a thug wearing a brown vest against the opposite wall in the Saloon. When West gets up, the thug is now lying next to West and wears a green vest rather than brown, and is also closer to the Saloon's bar.

The Night of the Egyptian Queen - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: The first shot of West's eyes, after the opening credits, shows them to be a bit different than usual - as if they had an allergic reaction to something. The second, third, and fourth shots show the eyes back to normal, but the shot of him walking the princess to the door shows a very puffy faced West. After walking her to the door when he turns around, West is back to looking like his typical self for the rest of this episode.

The Night of the Camera - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: When West finds the half poker chip, he moves to place it in his left outside vest pocket with his left hand, but the next shot shows him placing the chip into the inside left pocket of the vest with his right hand.

The Night of Miguelito's Revenge - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: In the scene before the third freeze frame, a large coffin-like rectangular object slides into the water. West is inside this structure. All sides are completely flat. We see the object under water sinking. This one is much shorter, has an oval window, and the side is not completely flat when compared to the one that enters the water. After the freeze frame, West is sitting up with his legs completely extended. The dimensions of this under water container would have to have height and width much longer than the other two containers that have been shown.
