When they are in the motel in Calgary and when Ule Brenner answers the door in the back ground you can see that the little short guy (I can't think of his name) has a hat on. Then it goes to the person at the door ,then back to Ule with no hat on, then back to the door, then back to Ule with a hat on. It goes back to the door then Ule turns around and it shows him putting the hat on. See more...

In the movie Cool Runnings after they are in Calgary and John Candy is try to get the team registered in the Olympics while he is in the Olympic building you can see a man holding back the crowd. The man is wearing a grey suit with orange stripes - a few seconds after he is holding back the crowd you can see him walking up the steps. [So once the crowd began to be under control, he left to pursue other duties. Not so unusual, and not necessarily a mistake.]
When the team is practicing on the mountain, they crash and Sanka flips over the bobsled. A few scenes later the same crash is seen but from a side angle. [It is a very common technique in movies to show action, such as this accident, from different angles. It doesn't make it a mistake.]
At several points you can see a team called "England" on the scoreboard in Jamaica. England does not compete in the Olympics or Winter Olympics as an individual nation, but as part of "Great Britain" including Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. [That scoreboard was drawn and being 'supervised' by a load of very young kids from Jamaica. It is their mistake if they don't know the difference between England and Great Britain, not the movie's.]
In the scene where the Jamaicans are watching the bobsled team in action, we can see the blackboard monitoring the countries times. Russia is one of the countries, however in 1988 Russia was not formed and was known as the USSR. [At the time the terms USSR, Soviet Union, and Russia were commonly used interchangably, so it is possible and entirely plausible that the listing of USSR is as Russia.]
