Goofs for
"Prison Break" (2005) More at IMDb Pro »

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The two brothers and the other convicts are all going for the D.B. Cooper's five million, which was stolen several decades ago. There are design changes in the US Dollar bills so how are they going to use the buried five million? While there have been several design changes to US currency, this does not mean the money cannot be used. It is still considered legal tender. However, money taken in the D.B. Cooper heist just showing up all of a sudden in circulation would be a little eye-brow raising.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: The toilet in cell 40, which is eventually Michael Scofield's cell, has no pipes for the waste exiting or water entering his cell. This toilet could actually not be used.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Michael says that he chose Panama because there is no extradition treaty. Based on the date on Sara's father's tombstone, 1 July 2005, Michael was still incarcerated on 8 May 2005 when the United States and Panama entered into an extradition treaty, explaining why he would be unaware that the brothers could be extradited.
  
  

• Continuity: When Kellerman, Scofield, and Burrows escape from the tunnel in Albuquerque they take off in a Chevrolet Suburban SUV, but when they arrive at the airfield the vehicle is a GMC Yukon SUV although of the same colour and class.
  
  
• Factual errors: 5 million dollars should weigh about 110-120 pounds. Even for such big men as portrayed in the series it would be too heavy to run around with smile on their faces. Especially when Sucre puts backpack on his back in one scene it looks too light.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In several episodes of the first season Brad Bellick is called 'Brian' on several occasions.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: In a season two flashback, Michael remembers when he once visited Lincoln in prison. He says Lincoln had killed the President's brother, but at the time when Lincoln was charged with the murder of Terrence Stedman, he was only the VICE-president's brother, as mentioned on many occasions in the first season. The VP was only promoted to President much later on in the series.
