Pepe Hern and David Janssen in The Fugitive (1963)

Goofs

Smoke Screen

The Fugitive

Edit

Continuity

When Kimble and the foreman load the injured man in the back of the pickup, they carefully raise and secure the tail gate. It is still up as Kimble drives off, but it is down when he arrives at base camp.
Marie shows no signs of being pregnant at the farm, but she has an enlarged belly when she gets out of the truck at the fire base camp.

Revealing mistakes

Maria is supposed to be nine months pregnant and about to give birth, yet she is skinny as a rail with a slim waist and no sign of a swollen belly.

Errors in geography

When Lt. Gerard is standing in front of the transparent map of the U.S., one can see that someone forgot to draw the border line that separates Arkansas from Louisiana, making the area one elongated oversized State.

Character error

Kimble and company are fighting a forest fire. Kimble takes a man suffering from smoke inhalation back to camp to the nurse. Kimble relaxes and lights up a cigarette. California is notorious for the extremely dry conditions that lead to configurations, and it takes very little to get a fire going under those conditions. Kimble's match, or ash from his cigarette could easily start a fire in the camp and behind the firefighters. Yet Kimble, as intelligent as he is, thinks nothing about lighting up. And no one becomes alarmed when he lights up and yells at him to extinguish his cigarette. Professional and/or experienced firefighters (such as the Forest Service personnel present) would never make or allow such an act.
