This is the second part of a two-part episode and it is simply appalling.
The first problem is how were the rebels suddenly and magically able to get a helicopter within a minute or two in a country controlled by a military dictatorship? Impossible.
Then in the fight scene on the hospital staircase, there's a HUGE continuity mistake. When Joe's stuntman leaps down the hospital staircase to tackle one of the guys chasing him, his hat falls off in the process, and is still off when he stands up and gets ready to punch the guy. Then the camera switches to a closeup shot of Joe WHO HAS A HAT ON as he proceeds to punch him. Then if that wasn't bad enough, the camera then switches to the wide shot again where the stuntman then PICKS UP HIS HAT AND PUTS IT ON and then runs up the staircase. Wow. Very, very sloppy and unforgivable, and one of the worst mistakes I've seen on this show yet.
Then it gets even uglier during the operation scene where on display is the unfortunate spectacle of most of Joe's face covered up with a ridiculous-looking surgical mask. Then in the final scene, Joe puts on a disguise for the very first time, which is just laughable. At the same time, though, it's also sad to see that the series has descended to this level.
I think Joe himself sums up this episode best during the operation scene when most of his face (except for his eyes) is covered with the surgical mask. When you look at the expression in his eyes in a couple of the closeup shots, even HE seems to be wondering what he's doing there and perhaps thinking about how silly this whole episode is and how low the show has fallen. What he should have done at that point is throw the surgical mask down and run out of the scene and out of the entire episode so that it could never have been completed at all. We all would have been much better off if he had.
