Other mistake: After Jesus is taken down from the cross, he blinks for a moment.
Other mistake: In the battle at Gaugamela scene where Cleitus jumps off his horse to help Alexander in the battle, Cleitus is seen cutting the head off a barbarian and throwing it at another. Two seconds later he is seen swinging that same head back and forth.
Other mistake: When Burn and Elvis get to Memphis, Elvis says they are there for his birthday, but earlier in the movie he states he has to be in Memphis for the 16th of August, which is the anniversary of the day Elvis died. His birthday is January 8th.
Other mistake: When Henry and Lefroy strip off before going swimming, they enter the water wearing their boots, however their trousers have been removed despite there not having been time for them to remove them and replace the boots.
Other mistake: During the film the narrator states: "He also had a condition that was referred to as "granulated eyelids" and it caused him to blink more than usual as if he found creation slightly more than he could accept." However, this never occurs once in the movie and in fact the opposite happens, Jesse stares into space hardly blinking throughout the entire film.
Other mistake: There is a scene where Miss Potter is in the Lake District beside a lake drawing. Across on the other side of a lake there is a red car driving along the road quite fast. This is in the cinema version.
Other mistake: When Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are on the sinking yacht with their wives, DiCaprio is holding his wife but you don't see Hill's. Nor do you see her on the Red Cross boat.
Other mistake: Rudy continually checks the roster to see if he made the dress list. The captain of the team is Roland Steele; the first one to visit the coach about giving up his jersey for Rudy. Every time Rudy looks at the list he scans past the last names for "S" where you should see Steele, Roland. Steele doesn't appear on the dress list yet he dresses every game. Stock, J. (Capt.) appears on the list, so Steele should too.
Other mistake: When Tony and Dr. Shirley are driving in a snow storm, in the view from the front of the car, the wipers seem to pass behind the snow on the windshield, and the blades appear longer than the area cleared. It's almost as if the snow was added on later in post-production. It's most noticeable if you look at the tips of the wipers as they approach the tip of the snow on the windshield. (01:51:35)
Other mistake: The bank clerk with the grey hair, offering the cigarette and sitting back is supposed to work in "the late 70's" according to the narration. Surprised to see him again in the audience (front right) of the panel discussion on March 14, 2008, some 30 years later, looking not a year older. (00:01:35 - 01:53:40)
Other mistake: Ritchie's 1950's Fender guitar amp looks like it would have looked in the 1980's when it should have only been a couple of years old in the movie.
Other mistake: The navy bombardment opens fire and there are huge explosions. When they attack from the ropes they walk at least 50 yards with no craters, just flame and smoke. Awfully big guns for no holes in the ground .
Other mistake: Just before the ending credits, this statement appears: "He was buried with full Christian honours, in Westminister Abbey." Perhaps the extraneous comma in that sentence might not be as noticeable if Westminster had been spelled correctly. (01:38:15)
Other mistake: When Potiphar is buying the horse, Zuleika calls him Joseph when calling him to come fan her before they then ask him for his name. (00:30:00)
Other mistake: In the courtroom scene, when Chief Sunday tells Brashear to stand up, the tenders go to help him up without question, and when Captain Hanks overrides him, saying that he has to stand up himself, even they look confused and surprised. They wouldn't be just some random enlisted sailors doing this, they have been trained in being a tender, and would reasonably know what the policies are. (01:56:50)
Other mistake: Throughout the film, the Hickams' phone buzzes. When Elsie throws the phone into the yard, it breaks to reveal a pair of bells.
Other mistake: Bobby Kennedy is seen watching television, including a scene that seems to be the shooting of Oswald. However, the Oswald shooting happens about 16 minutes later. (00:41:40 - 00:58:00)
Other mistake: The suit jackets that Buddy and JP Richardson were wearing at the last concert had to have been sewn incorrectly, especially the sleeves. The seam at the top of the sleeve caused bunching all the way down the sleeve. Buddy's jacket looked like it was buttoned incorrectly at the top, but it was probably also a sewing mishap and poor fitting. So, the way the jackets were sewn was one big mistake (or wardrobe malfunction). (01:40:44)
Other mistake: The giant medallions that Pilate takes from a chest and then places on the pillar of the Temple do not bear close inspection as images of Tiberius, for some reason the name Augustus is lettered along with abbreviations not easily discerned as what was then used. The image behind Pilate when he is in court is similarly inauthentic but I would think that no-one but an exacting numismatist would even notice this if it is indeed such a major mistake.
Other mistake: Russ pours olive oil on a salad, says it is the best vinegar, and after the next cut he grabs the olive oil again.
