Across whole show

Mistake Revealing: Throughout numerous episodes while the team is supposed to be driving the van, the gear selector can be seen in the "park" position.

Mistake Continuity: John "Hannibal" Smith's rank changes from to Colonel to Lieutenant Colonel in different shows. In some of the early episodes we see him in uniform as Lt. Col. but in later episodes such as when they are on trial, Smith is wearing the rank of Full Colonel.

Mexican Slayride (2) (season 1, episode 2)

Mistake Continuity: When the team is escaping with Al, BA swipes a truck. After loading everyone in, he puts a pin in to hold the gate on the driver's side. When they meet up with Face & Murdock at the helicopter, Hannibal jumps out, pulls one pin from the passenger's side, and the gate swings down.

Pros and Cons (season 1, episode 4)

Mistake Revealing: When Hannibal drives the blue car into the sheriff's office trying to get arrested, the wooden jump ramp is visible.

West Coast Turnaround (season 1, episode 10)

Mistake Continuity: During the scene when the A-Team drops watermelons on the pickup truck, the windshield shatters. The next shot after this, the truck flips over, but the windshield is intact.

The Beast From the Belly of a Boeing (season 1, episode 13)

Mistake Continuity: The Boeing 747 in this episode is supposed to belong to Beller Air, however exterior shots show the TWA Airlines logo.

Mistake Factual error: The hijacked plane is a Boeing 747 where the cockpit is on the upper deck. When the passengers are loading on the plane, the cockpit is shown on the lower deck.

A Nice Place to Visit (season 1, episode 14)

Mistake Factual error: When the team is in uniform for their friend's funeral, Smith and Peck (both commissioned officers) have their Special Forces insignias on their berets when they should have their rank insignia.

Labor Pains (season 2, episode 8)

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning during the bridge jump scene, the A-Team van changes. It suddenly has round headlights and hub caps can be seen popping off when it lands. The real van has double square shaped headlights and steel spoked rims.

Bounty (season 3, episode 22)

Mistake Other: The bridge jump scene in this episode is recycled from the season two episode "Labor Pains" where the van changes.

Quarterback Sneak (season 5, episode 4)

Mistake Factual error: When the two men are watching the soccer game between the USA and East Germany, look at the 'East' German shirts - they are actually WEST German shirts (white with black trim, with even the stylised eagle of the DFB (the West German Soccer Federation).
