Continuity: Iris, Gilbert and the other English characters lose their luggage when the bad guys have the back of the train uncoupled.

Continuity: When Iris, Gilbert and Dr. Hartz are together in the dining car, they order three drinks, one for each of them. Gilbert swallows his in one gulp. A minute later, Dr. Hartz proposes a toast, and all three of them guzzle their drinks. Where did Gilbert get another glass of brandy?
