The Wild Wild West - Bloopers

Bloopers

• Conrad apparently split his pants numerous times during the course of the series. At least four are preserved on film: "Night of the Casual Killer" (originally aired 10/15/65),"The Night of the Assassin" (9/22/67), "The Night of the Underground Terror" (1/19/68) and "The Night of the Pistoleros" (2/21/69).
• In "The Night of the Eccentrics" (9/16/66), a stuntman is punched through the side of a circus tent, and is seen landing on a very visible mattress.
• In "The Night of the Lord of Limbo" (12/30/66), an airplane is visible behind West's shoulder in the first shot of Act I.
• In "The Night of the Tartar" (2/3/67), West opens a safe aboard the train, but the door has no latch and catch mechanism inside. Later, a car can be seen driving by as the coach pulls into the Russian summer home.
• In "The Night of the Bogus Bandits" (4/7/67), a car passes in the distance behind Pearline, the maid (at 0:22:00).
• In "The Night of the Turncoat" (12/1/67), a safety frogman appears behind Conrad in one shot during the underwater sequence. West's hair also appears dry in one shot after surfacing.
• In "The Night of the Arrow" (12/29/67), there are 2 costume bloopers. At the 2nd freeze-frame Conrad has the suede jacket & chaps, but is handcuffed wearing blue jacket, vest & blue pants. The same thing happens after the 3rd freeze-frame when Conrad is escaping from a deep well.
• In "The Night of the Vipers" (1/12/68), following an extensive fight scene between Conrad and Red West, the former's torn and soaked shirt keeps drying out and dampening again from shot to shot (the tear also repairs and opens itself).
• In "The Night of the Gruesome Games" (10/25/68), the camera crew can be glimpsed in a bedroom mirror.
• In the opening of "The Night of the Tycoons" (3/28/69), Conrad is shown riding his horse with one costume (suede jacket & chaps) and then shown walking in an entirely different costume (blue jacket, vest & blue pants).
• In "The Night of the Tycoons" (3/28/69), when Lionel punches his opponent onto a wall of his Aunt Amelia's house, a crack appears (giving away that it's made of material much flimsier than brick and cement).
• The same episode includes a rare commercial-break flub, when after the third freeze-frame transitions to a drawing the image is held for a few seconds instead of being automatically followed by a zoom-out. "The Night of the Flaming Ghost" (1/21/66) has two examples of this; in act two the final shot does not cut automatically to its place in the series artwork, and in the closing credits the final freeze-frame zoom-out is replicated (making this the only episode with motion behind the credits).
