Goofs

The Test Case

Mission: Impossible

Edit

Continuity

When Jim starts the record player, it spins up to 33-1/3 RPM. In the next shot, the record is spinning at 78 RPM.
When the Petri dish is placed on the elevator by the robotic arm, it is off-center and hanging over the edge. In the next shot, it is perfectly centered.

Factual errors

Judging by the pitch of the blades and the direction of rotation of the exhaust fan above the laboratory, it would be blowing air into the lab rather than extracting air from the lab.
Beck's résumé mentions four scientists: "Virchow, Kock, Chaveau, Pasteur". However, the second and the third names should be spelled Koch and Chauveau.

Revealing mistakes

Rollin is posing as a prisoner being used as the test subject for a deadly experimental virus in a foreign country. During the experiment, his heartbeat is monitored and the result printed on a paper graph by testing equipment. In two scenes, "Rockville Center, NY" can be read on the paper graph.
The sign on the listening booth door lists the age limit as +/- 18 yrs., using the plus sign over the minus sign notation.
At one point, Cinnamon is described by Jim Phelps as being a blonde in her late twenties, but Barbara Bain was 37 when this episode was filmed and looked to be in her mid-thirties. Perhaps he meant VERY late twenties.

Miscellaneous

Jim listens to the assignment recording in a glass enclosed booth in a record shop. When the recording self destructs, the smoke would have been visible to others in the store attracting unwanted attention.
When Barbara Bain's character is sitting in her hotel room, the lamp next to her head is swaying. Several hours pass. She receives another call. She was still sitting in the same position---filmed from the back of her chair---and the lamp is still swaying! This was unlike Sutton Roley's perfectionism.

Crew or equipment visible

When the van driving the prisoner to building 14 passes through the gate, a camera man, the camera and a man with sunglasses can be seen in the reflection of the driver's window.
The shadow of the boom mic can be seen in the upper right frame just after Capt. Olni enters Dr. Beck's office when the doctor is meeting with Cinnamon.

Character error

In the getaway scene, Jim is CLEARLY not in the scene. His face is hidden from us as he walks to back of truck, opens truck door, and walking back to getaway vehicle.
