Steven Hill and Greg Morris in Mission: Impossible (1966)

Goofs

The Legend

Mission: Impossible

Edit

Continuity

After the impersonated Martin Bormann orders Rudd to his room, Rudd first goes to Bormann's room and touches the protective iron gate leading to the dummy's chamber which is supposed to be electrified, without being harmed.
The dossier scene in this episode is taken from Wheels (1966). In addition to repeating that episode's continuity error regarding the orientation of the dossiers, when Briggs has Barney's dossier in his hand, you can see Willie's dossier on the table in front of him, even though Peter Lupus does not appear in this episode.
Briggs and Rollin both get in to the Commandants room through the window even though it is wired. Rollan gets out of the Commandants room to the stairway without the key to turn off the electrified gate.

Factual errors

There is no break between the hallway floor or that in the elevator where Briggs gets his assignment, clearly showing it is a set and not a functioning elevator.
In the entrance hall, the Nazi Swastika on the flag is backwards. It is a left facing symbol when it should be a right facing symbol.

Revealing mistakes

In the opening scene, as Briggs enters the elevator, the camera shows the bottom of the sliding doors do not touch the floor. Briggs is clearly stepping into a two-door closet.

Miscellaneous

Time 12:20- The guard ran into the meeting room to tell everybody the smoke was coming from Cinnimons room instead of going to her room to save her.
Time 12:36- When everybody ran into Cinimons room full of smoke, someone said open the window instead of removing her from the room.
Time 21:34- The explosions do not all coincide with the timing of when Barney is flipping the switches.
Time 14:43- The room is still full of smoke and everybody is still in it after two minutes.

Character error

When Cinnamon is lighting the smoke crystals on the pillow with the cigarette, Barbara Bain unintentionally drops the cigarette and she then unsuccessfully tries to catch it as it rolls off the edge of the pillow, but she then ignores it and carries on with the scene.
Willy Armitage doesn't work on this mission; however his picture is in Dan's stack of selected agents. Look closely when Dan tosses down Barney Collier's page, Willy's is clearly visible on the pile.
Despite giving the Nazis fairly credible German Accents, their pronunciation of the few German words used are anglicized. This is particularly noticeable in the first briefing, when Frederick Rudd uses non-German pronunciations for the cities Berlin, Frankfurt, Stutttgart, Hamburg and Munich.
