Revealing: Joan gets splashed by Jack's water skis and goes inside the boat to watch a picture of the two of them on a tropical beach. The picture is blatantly fake: Jack's legs become invisible at one point, his skin looks wiggly were it's been pasted and no shadows match at all.

Continuity: Joan takes pictures of the map in a dark room but the flash never works. If she had special film then there would be no need for flash, and if the film were daylight and the flash didn't work she would've fixed it right away, due how important those photos were.

Revealing: Jack is on a platform next to the burning stage. In the close-ups it's Michael Douglas, but in the wide angles his stunt is a skinny guy with light hair who looks nothing like him.

Continuity: When Ralph is riding on the camel chasing the train, in the wide angles (with an obvious stunt) his clothes flutter. In the close-ups, with a fake background, the clothes remain still.

Continuity: The train is about to enter a tunnel and a "bump" is heard. We immediately discover it's Ralph crashed against the side of a tunnel. Problem is the camel has magically managed to face the opposite way and, what's even more magical, it's now been safely tied up by a big fat rope.

Continuity: From the shots around, the well is not quite big, with its edges almost near Joan and Jack's feet, but on the aerial shots (where it's an obvious blue-screen) its size is humongous.

Continuity: Ralph gets squashed by the donkey's butt near a dark, secluded stable, surrounded by stacks of hay. When he's rescued, the stacks are gone and the donkey's moved away from the place it was, yet Ralph remains underneath him. Quite odd.
