Wife Killer - S3-E17
Factual error: The Baker City Herald's office door misspells the word "personnel" with a sign reading, "Authorized Personel Only." Pretty poor editing for a newspaper office. (00:29:25)
Visible crew/equipment: In the middle of the desert, the side of the white van Kimble drives captures the image of two huge rectangular studio light reflectors. (00:04:55)
Revealing mistake: During the fight in the farmhouse, Kimble's stunt double is very obvious. You can see his face in several shots. (00:10:50)
Revealing mistake: Kimble and Eddie take an elevator down to the parking garage. When the doors open, you can see that there's no break in the floor between the garage and the elevator car. It's solid concrete. (00:28:50)
Factual error: Madison's 1966 Lincoln Continental is equipped with a car phone, a luxury that, in the 1960s, required a very large external antenna. Somehow, though, Madison's phone works without one. (00:47:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When Laurel's sister comes to Kimble's hotel room to confront him, an equipment shadow moves across one of the walls, and is reflected in the mirror behind them. (00:06:50)
All the Scared Rabbits - S3-E7
Plot hole: Peggy's old car is left behind in town when the police pick up Kimble and drive him out to the country house in their cruiser. No one goes back for Peggy's car, yet it's somehow back at the house at the end, just in time for Kimble to escape in it. (00:38:40 - 00:45:55)
In a Plain Paper Wrapper - S3-E29
Factual error: Even though it's Sunday, Gary is somehow able to pick up a package at the post office, which is open when it shouldn't be. (00:27:40)
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: Barbara searches the one-armed man's wallet. We see an insert shot of two cards, both with the signature "Fred Johnson." But in the next moment, she claims that no two of the IDs are the same before saying, "Oh, wait, here are two." She then "finds" the cards she'd already found in the earlier shot. (00:18:00)
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Revealing mistake: The one-armed man's car goes off a cliff and instantly changes color and model type on the way down, exposing the use of poorly-matched stock footage. (00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: Kimble and Gerard are sitting on the ground, handcuffed together. But without unlocking the restraints, Gerard stands up while Kimble remains seated, and moves several feet away, no longer linked to his prisoner. When he sits down, though, they're suddenly cuffed to each other again. (00:21:20)
Continuity mistake: The prosecutor at Kimble's trial is said here to have been Mike Ballinger. But in the earlier "Girl From Little Egypt," the prosecutor's name was Lester Rand. (00:06:50)
Wife Killer - S3-E17
Revealing mistake: The one-armed man steals a car and a chase ensues. But during that chase, the stunt driver's two arms and two hands are briefly visible on the steering wheel of the fleeing car. (00:11:00)
Landscape with Running Figures (1) - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: Here, Gerard's wife (and he had only one) is a brunette named Marie. In "May God Have Mercy," she was a blonde named Ann. (00:10:00)
Answer: Production vehicle models aren't in sync with the calendar year. The '65 Mustang began production in March 1964 and first sold in April 1964, before it was "introduced" the following year. I don't know which model was seen in the episode, but the 2+2 fastback was sold in September 1964. The 1964 film "Goldfinger" uses a 1965 Mustang as part of Ford's product placement. Basically, in the 1930's, FDR ordered automakers to release vehicles in the fall of the preceding calendar year "as a means of facilitating regularization of employment in the industry." Now, automakers can release new models as early as Jan 2 of the preceding year.
