When Borat is chasing Pamela Anderson and the security chasing Borat, you see a few other people chasing him as well. There is a man in a purple shirt who is carrying a camera, as well as a man in a dark blue sweater. The security guards push the man in the dark blue sweater out of the way just before they reach Borat, yet one scene later the man still catches Borat before security does. See more...
The participants of this 'mockumentary' (none of whom were in on the joke) were all made to sign a release form so that the film makers could use the footage. In spite of this, several of those interviewed have since made unsuccessful attempts to sue the distribution company for fraud and defamation. Those that took action included the etiquette coach, plus two of the students with whom Borat hitchhikes with. See more...

When Borat just arrived in California and was walking on the street while singing amen, he was wearing two pins on his jacket, but when he finished the fight with Azamat he had only the right pin on. [This does not happen in consecutive shots, so either he removed one of them or one of them fell off.]

In the scene where Borat finds Azamat on the street and they start fighting, their positions change in the scene. As Death is approaching to break it up, Borat is on Death's left, then his right, then his left again. [This is not true they do not switch sides at all the camera moves.]
During the scene when Borat is taking his driving test, and he says "Look, there is a woman in a car! Can we follow her, and maybe make a sexy-time with her?" If you look closely at the person he is talking about, it is a bulky male driving a Ford truck. [Two explanations, one that is the joke and Borat really thinks its a woman or two its a character mistake and has got it terribly wrong.]

In the map used for the road trip, it shows that they traveled on Interstate 95 through the center of North Carolina. In reality, this is where Interstate 85 runs. [This is probably part of the joke. The map is supposed to be from Kazakhstan, and probably has many errors. In fact, Borat and Azamat argue about the map several times.]

When Borat leaves the bus with the partying students, and he stands alone on the road, you can see the shadow of the cameraman. [Since this is supposed to be a documentary (although a mock one), the fact that there is a cameraman following Borat around is not a surprise, or a mistake.]

This is meant to be a documentary, and only one camera operator is ever referred to. However, there are multiple incidences where two cameras are clearly being used - for example, we'll see Borat running towards the van, then we'll suddenly be inside the van seeing him get in too and speed away, with no sign of a camera behind him. Even if they were using two cameras, the second one would be in shot. [This is NOT meant to be a documentary, rather a MOCKumentary. The whole movie is shot as if it's a documentary, but that is part of the comedy. Besides, even in a real documentary, multiple camera angles are used, as well as scenes not meant to be filmed live are pre-recorded, and acting used to move the story along. Real footage is also intermixed with acted footage in editing to give the movie a "feel" and to cut out extraneous footage.]
