Deliberate "mistake": A large number of the women in the movie, especially the "harlots" and "harem girls," have very obvious breast implants as evident through the shapes of their breasts. Not something available thousands of years ago, but it does fit with the spirit of the movie.

Factual error: In this movie, camels seem to be a common sight in Egypt. However, these animals did not appear in the Nile valley until ca 8-900 BC - more than 2,000 years after this movie takes place.

Continuity: When Balthazar knocks Matathyus down, Matathyus falls face down and his hair gets covered with white bits of dust (sand or whatever). A brief second later, when he stands up, his hair is clean and shinny, but he hasn't had time to clean it, or even made a single move to take the dust away.

Other: In the scene where Mathayus happens upon the hide out of Balthazar and his people and are confronting one another, Balthazar's necklaces change from being messily arranged to neatly graduated in frame to frame. Surely he wouldn't have been rearranging the necklaces while confronting the Arcadian?

Factual error: In the very beginning of the movie, when Mathayus rescues Jesup, he fires several arrows at Jesup's would-be executioners, and the targets of these arrows fly backward, across the room, and smash out the side of the building. I don't think I need to go into a detailed discussion of physics on this.

Continuity: When Mathayus is launched out of the catapult, he is shot out of the window and lands in another room in the castle. A few shots later, the catapult is shown again but it is in the cocked position. The scientist was busy with his gunpowder and avoiding the guards - he wouldn't have re-set it, surely?

Continuity: After Matathyus (The Rock) finishes fighting with Balthazar (Michael Clarke Duncan), Balthazar is sort of sitting down while Matathyus is standing. You see blood all over Balthazar's mouth. Then the shot goes back and forth between Matathyus and Balthazar three times. Each time there's not the same amount of blood in Balthazar's mouth.
