Episode Nine - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: The necklace James took from the coconut in Dr. Jacobi's office in the previous episode had a gold chain. When he gives it to Agent Cooper in this episode, it's on leather.
Continuity mistake: At One Eyed Jack's, when Agent Cooper and Jacques are sitting and talking there are 2 glasses of beer on the table. In one shot Jacques finishes a glass. When he gets up, both glasses are full. (00:10:20 - 00:11:40)
Continuity mistake: In the hotel lobby, the chair that Leland knocks over switches between shots between lying on its side and on its back.
Continuity mistake: The plate, bread and milk that Pete drops on the floor change position between shots.
Continuity mistake: At about 23:21, Dale Cooper is writing on a chalkboard that has the letters R and T on it, not circled. Moments later, at 23:30, the letters are circled, even though Cooper has not marked the board. (00:23:20)
Suggested correction: Actually, there is a cutaway shot to the two policemen, and when the shot changes back to Cooper (with the letters now circled, as you say), he does have the chalk in his hand and then circles the "J." I think it's implied he circled the R and T in the cutaway. There was enough time.
Continuity mistake: Nadine decides to lift leg weights beside Mike. She sets it to 600 pounds. However, whenever it changes view to her lifting from the angle of Mike, whenever the coach asks her to join the team, you can see that Nadine is not lifting any weights. (00:19:45)

However, if you look in the top right of the shot, you can see Donna and the biker still behind the bar, trying to leave. (01:19:13 - 01:19:50)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy is badly explaining to Sheriff Harry Truman which phone she transferred the call to, in the window reflection, you can see the Sheriff moving around the office to find the phone. But in the close-up cutaways of Harry, he is standing in one place. (00:05:07)

Continuity mistake: After Leland is pulled over by the police, he goes to open the boot of his car, and he is wearing dark gloves. When he rummages in his golf bag containing the body for a golf club, he is wearing no gloves. Then he holds the club in the air to show Cooper and the gloves are back again.
Continuity mistake: When Donna confronts her mother about Ben Horne, she is asked to pass the peas. Her mother fills her plate with peas. Only a few sentences later Donna is asked again to pass the peas and her mother fills her plate again, without having eaten anything in between. (00:42:10 - 00:43:10)
