Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: When the aliens use their paralyzer on Doug and Tony, the time travelers are both bending forward. But in the next shot, they've somehow straightened up, despite being "paralyzed." (00:01:45)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Factual error: The aliens show Doug and Tony the planet they plan to invade - Earth, of course. But the special effects department forgot to give poor old Earth any clouds. (There are clouds over more than 70% of our planet at any given time.) When they go down to the surface, though, there are plenty of clouds in the sky. (00:05:20)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: Tony jumps onto a brown horse and gallops into town to warn the sheriff. He doesn't stop on the way, but somehow arrives in town riding a black horse instead. (00:12:45)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: An escaping Tony leaves the cell door standing open. But when the shot reverses angles, the door has mysteriously closed itself. (00:22:20)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: In the saloon, the table at the lower right of the shot has nothing on it. After a brief close-up of the bartender, we cut back to the master shot - and even though no one's gone near it, the previously empty table now has a candle in a tin holder sitting on it. (00:28:30)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: The deputy takes one of three rifles from the gun rack, leaving two. In the next shot, however, there's only one gun left in the rack. A few shots later, there are two again. (00:31:20)
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Factual error: Modern power cables are seen near Crawford's homestead, complete with aircraft warning flags draped over them. These cannot be mistaken for 19th century telegraph wires.
Visitors From Beyond the Stars - S1-E18
Revealing mistake: The view of the town seen through the saloon doors is a painted backdrop, as some of the actors cast shadows against it.
