The Wire

Edit

Continuity

When Sgt. Landsman is talking to Ziggy in the detention room he holds a cigarette which is smoked almost all the way down to the filter. The camera looks at Ziggy then back to Landsman who now has an almost full length lit cigarette.

Factual errors

The distances from which Ziggy shot the two individuals in the store would not give rise to blood splatter on his face. The splatter pattern on his right cheek changes from the closeup scene in the store to when he exits the store. Only the piercing of the heart from in front of an individual is there spurting of blood through the air and one would have to be within a range of at least three feet of the person. In this scene one victim is shot in the abdomen and the other is shot in the back. Take a look at the blood marks on Ziggy's face when he stands over G and compare with when he is leaving the store.
When the FBI agent is translating the text message sent by Spiros, the Greek phrase is translated as "SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY," when in fact, the exact translation should read "CLOSED DIRECT."
The insurance records for Eton Ben-Eleazer's Volvo list it as a Volvo S80, while the car shown to be his in the following scene is clearly an S60, not an S80.
Brother Mouzone shoots Cheese with a plastic BB but tells him the next round in his gun is an "extra hot" hollow point load. It is not possible to set up an automatic pistol to feed such widely different ammunition. The plastic BB would require an ultra soft mainspring to feed reliably, but if you tried to fire a high pressure load with a projectile so much heavier on that same mainspring, the weapon is all but guaranteed to malfunction and could even injure the shooter. If you wanted to shoot such completely different ammunition out of the same weapon, it would have to be a revolver or manual repeater.
The insurance records for Sergei Malatov's BMW list it as a 540i, while the car shown to be his in an earlier scene is clearly a 3-series, not a 5-series.

Character error

Melvin "Cheese" Wagstaff's name is listed as Melvin Flagstaff on the layout board the unit uses to identify potential suspects.
