The Greatest American Hero

Train of Thought - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When the engineer shuts down the train he's wearing a long sleeve jacket, but in the closeup we see a bare arm wearing a watch. The terrorists remove that engineer and he's replaced with McGivers, another engineer wearing a jacket, and the same bare arm is in closeups. Then a third engineer on another train has the same arm in the closeup. (00:06:40)

Train of Thought - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Ralph lifts Bill's car the first time, the blue license plate on the front bumper is gone, but when Ralph is amazed at the suit's power he lifts the car a second time, and the blue license plate is in its proper place on the bumper. (00:35:50)

Train of Thought - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Bill's car has narrow whitewall tires when he pulls off the road, but in the close-up of the tire when Ralph lifts the car, instead of a whitewall tire there's a Bridgestone tire at the front passenger side.

The Greatest American Hero (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In one scene, Ralph is in a phone booth desperately trying to make a phone call. Ralph is nervous and panicky. But when you look at his reflection on the phone, you can see a big relaxed smile on him. When it cuts back to him, he is still acting nervous and panicky.
