Burn Notice

Devil You Know - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Michael's mother is arrested, we see the cuffs go on with her bracelet nearer her hands than the cuffs. The shot changes and suddenly her bracelet's further up her arm - no way it could have moved there past the cuffs.

Brotherly Love - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: When Hector, Caleb, and Michael walk to the back of Caleb's house looking for the GTO, they discover it behind the greenhouse. Caleb tells Hector he'd never steal from him. Hector gets in Caleb's face and says, "You mean, you never will." Here, Caleb is shown from the front. When Hector says "again," Caleb is shown from behind, and he has sweat running down his cheek. When Caleb is shown from the front again, Hector says, "Take him inside," and there's no sweat on his face. (00:35:40)

Brotherly Love - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, before the SUV rolls, it is a new Escalade. However, during and after the roll, it changes to a first generation Escalade.

Dead or Alive - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Michael has his gun on the dirty cops head, the gun is resting on his forehead and Michaels hand is on his throat. In the next shot the gun is right between the cops eyes, and his hand is on his chest. This keeps going back and forth a few times.

Damned If You Do - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Xavier's henchmen show up at Oswald's associate's house with 2 Escalade SUVs. Then, one more Escalade, same year as the 2 others, shows up behind the house. As soon as Michael says "We've got another one coming up. Third," the next shot of the Escalade shows a much older model.

Desperate Times - S6-E10

Continuity mistake: Michael attempts to have a conversation with his mother Maddie while she is folding clothes. She picks up a blue Hawaiian shirt and begins to fold it. The angle switches for a moment to Michael and then immediately back to Maddie, only now she is folding a white shirt. The blue shirt is already folded on the table and is seen under another shirt.

End Run - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Michael is attempting to deceive Brennen into letting him and Nate go (from the time Brennen receives the picture message to when Brennen leaves), Brennen's necktie (right below the knot) changes from having a dimple to being flat, 6 or 7 times during the scene.

Question: Where is the bathroom in Michael's loft? I have seen every season, every angle, and I never see anything resembling it?

Chosen answer: It might not actually have one, in which case, he'd have to go down into the club and use theirs. As for showering, going to his mother's house or a gym membership would take care of that.
