Continuity mistake: Season 4, Episode 22, "Bonds of Steele": When the Unidac security chief confronts Laura, her wind-blown hair changes from over her eyes to not over her eyes with every change of camera angle. (00:25:00)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: During the last scene of the opening credits, they are robbing the museum and Steele and Laura slide across on a zip line. When Steele catches Laura, she flops over his left shoulder. The shot changes and Laura is instantly upright so she can slide down Steele's body while looking at him romantically.

Mistakes

Thou Shalt Not Steele - S1-E5

Plot hole: Laura successfully knocks out both bad guys, steals their van and crashes through the warehouse doors. The van doesn't stall, but inexplicably, she stops it, gets out and runs away on foot, even though the baddies are coming to and coming after her. Not the option you'd expect a kidnap victim to choose: most people would floor it and keep on driving. (00:23:40)

Trivia

To Stop a Steele - S1-E15

Trivia: One of the running gags in the series in Steele's penchant for quoting or referencing old movies for inspiration. Near the end of this episode, Steele is asked how they will get the diamond back. He says "The Thomas Crowne Affair, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, 1968." 16 years later, Pierce Brosnan (who plays Remington Steele) would play the title role in the 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair."
