Goofs

The Confession

Mission: Impossible

Edit

Continuity

McMillan adds two green brush strokes to Dan's painting, but they are no longer there when we see the painting as Dan and Cinnamon leave the room.
The car which Willy uses to pick-up Rollin after the prison van escape has a white steering wheel, but the close-up shots of Willy driving show him holding a black steering wheel .
The garage where the pickup truck is hidden is totally different on the inside than it is when the truck is seen pulling out in the exterior shot.
Another one of the episodes where Briggs pile of IM Force member photos changes. When tossing Rollin's photo onto the "active" file, a photo of Joseph Baresh, memory expert, is covered. Baresh was a character from episode 2, The Butcher of the Balkans. Also, in the final long shot, Rollin's photo was not on top of the pile and the discard pile was different.
Around the 34min mark, Rollin Hand and Solowiechek are in the shed Solowiechek picks up a metal bar and slips it into his sleeve, which is between his jacket and his shirt. About a minute or two later Solowiechek retrieves the pipe from his sleeve between his shirt and his bare arm.

Factual errors

The prison cells do not have toilets in them. All main population prison cells in the United States of America are equipped with toilets as per standard humanitarian practice.

Revealing mistakes

When 'Rollin' and 'Solowiechek' are handcuffed the chain linking them is the standard five or six inches long, but when they jump from the prison van the the chain on the handcuffs linking the two stuntmen is noticeably at least twelve inches in length.

Miscellaneous

Rollin used a crescent wrench to escape from the sheriff van, but it is a mystery where it would have come from.

Plot holes

The IMF's plan was never going to work as expected. McMillan obviously was going to stick to a strategy of stout denial, and a man of his wealth would likely have someone protecting him. Only the unanticipated miracle of his protector confessing live on television made the plan work.
