Continuity: When the armoured car interrupts the ball game a player scores a goal to mock the attackers. The player who receives the ovations and gets shot in return is not the one who scored the goal, and there are bullet holes in his tricot even before he gets hit.

Continuity: When Michael Collins and his men raid the police station they throw torches on the roof. A second later the whole building is on fire, and the policemen run out coughing and gasping for air. However, when the IRA people go in to get the police guns the air is quite breathable.

Other: After the attack on the police station we see a train passing by in front of the fire. The shiny train reflects the flames in a way that could only be caused by another fire for which there is no evidence.

Factual error: Michael Collins recites a quote and his friend asks who said that. Collins says, "Him. Peter Pan," and closes a book. The "him" was obviously referring to the character in the present book: a very thick hardback. However, both "Peter Pan and Wendy" and "Peter Pan" are very thin. This almost certainly would not have been a collection of works either considering how recently Peter Pan would have come out relative to the movie's period.

Continuity: When Ned Broy comes to Vaughan's the night he gets killed the receptionist is sleeping on the counter. He wakes up a few minutes later when the hotel gets raided, and next to him there is a bell that hasn't been there before.
