Jay Mohr in Monk (2002)

Goofs

Mr. Monk Takes the Stand

Monk

Edit

Continuity

When Mr. Monk is sorting his files, Natalie hands him a file to review. As the shot shifts back to her, she's holding the file again. Then the shot shifts back to Monk and he's holding the file.
While waiting in the courthouse hallway, after her hiccups stop, Natalie has the bottle of water to her mouth. Immediately, the camera cuts to a different angle where she does not have the bottle to her mouth.

Factual errors

Powell bases his defense on the fact that the gravel can't be put back together to form a block of granite. This would have been non-credible. The court should have called in a geologist as an expert witness to identify the gravel as Belgian marble.

Revealing mistakes

When Evan first pulls off the tarp to unveil the nude sculpture, the supposedly two-ton marble sculpture wobbles.

Character error

In Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man (2009), Trudy has been dead twelve years, but on the witness stand Monk says he had a nervous breakdown when his wife died 10 years ago.
In the police station, Evan says "that dope-smoking, chain-snatching little thug." Seconds later, Monk, who has a photographic memory, says "quote, a chain-snatching, dope-smoking little thug."
When the defense attorney asks the Captain a question, he answers it and then expounds on it to make his response seem less negative. Powell should have interrupted him and asked for a simple yes or no answer.
When Monk is examining the workbench in Gildea's sculpting studio, there is a small scale model of the nude sculpture plainly visible on the bench. With his eye for the smallest detail, Monk would have to see the model, and become upset by the nudity. Yet he doesn't even notice the model.
When Randy and Natalie are trying to get the case defending "the little girl who played Rudy" on The Cosby Show (1984), they keep referring to that actress as either "he" or "him" even though they should know Rudy was a girl.
