Schwartz's Island - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: Siegfried uses the magnet to push the ship away from the island. However, you can see the scene is reversed; the steam from the ship is going back into the funnel.

Schwartz's Island - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: When Max accidentally shoots the life raft with the flare gun, he visibly doesn't make a hole in the raft. It's likely it's ink or ash or another black material to look like the raft had a hole burned through it.

The Day They Raided the Knights - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: In Max's apartment, Max sneaks up behind 99 to give her a kiss. She punches him in the jaw and he falls back against the wall to the right of the doorknob. The scene changes to a close up of Max and he is sitting on the floor to the left of the doorknob.

Tequila Mockingbird - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: Max is going to pour tequila in Valdez's glass. The camera closes up to show Max picking up a bottle with a candle on it. The candle falls into the glass. When the camera angle changes to show Valdez and Max, the candle is gone.

Shock It to Me - S4-E22

Plot hole: Zharko's process of using the dead bodies of agents and reviving them could only work if he had them at about at most a day after they were killed. Since his secret lab is on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere, they could not have got the bodies to him in time. The Chief also said that the bodies suffered severe damage, so their ability to move would be seriously hindered, but they work fine.

Leadside - S4-E23

Plot hole: Leadside brings the exact question up in this episode and it never gets answered: who's driving the van?

Pheasant Under Glass - S5-E1

Revealing mistake: When Max crashes through the wall in the prologue, you can easily tell it's a stunt double. You don't even need freeze frame to see it, as the screen freezes, stylistically fades, then the title sequence starts.
