Goofs

Mr. Monk and the Big Reward

Monk

Edit

Factual errors

[08:47] Natalie Teeger says, "We wanna be put on retainer... Yeah, retainer. Like a lawyer. We want a guaranteed income." Legal retainers aren't guaranteed incomes. In fact, they're not incomes at all. They are advanced payment of legal service. A lawyer is not allowed to spend this money until actual services are provided.

Not being a lawyer, she might not realize this.
When declaring a man dead, the character felt for a pulse on a muscle on the side of the man's neck, not on his carotid artery.

Revealing mistakes

Rufus mentions that he has a voice-stress-analyzer and shows it to the other characters. The "voice-stress-analyzer" is actually a Sony PlayStation Portable.

Miscellaneous

The stolen diamond was evidence in a robbery & murder investigation. Since it was recovered in the police station interrogation room by a staff member, no reward would be paid.

Boom mic visible

Boom mike is visible the second time Disher and Jennie are in the interrogation room.

Character error

Lt. Disher and other officers refer to the theft of the diamond as a "robbery," which is incorrect. The theft is actually a "burglary." A robbery is a theft from a person through force or fear. A burglary is the theft of an item from inside a structure. This is a common mistake; however, any law-enforcement officer across the country knows the difference between the two and would never mistake one for the other.
When Jennie Mandeville first goes into the police office, she reports robbing the Commercial Savings Trust in Sausalito. Sausalito is across the bay from San Francisco, completely out of their jurisdiction. Jennie should have realized this (and picked a bank inside the city), but even if she didn't know any better, Lt. Disher would never have bothered to take her statement. He would have instead arranged for her transfer to Sausalito and would have been done with it.
