Continuity mistake: Travers rides in a stretch limousine and Ralph, her driver, always puts her in the seat farthest back at the rear window. However, whenever she is seen inside the vehicle, she is sitting right behind Ralph, and easily reaches over and slides shut the window between the front seat and the back, even though there should be a wide space between where she is sitting and the driver's seat.
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the woods where Tolstoy signs away the rights to his writings, the buttons on Valentin Fyodorovich Bulgakov's shirt collar are on the left side of his neck until the last shot, where the buttons have moved to the right side of his neck. (01:05:05 - 01:07:15)
Continuity mistake: The German and British airmen are looking at the Northern lights. From the rear the men are apart, but the front shots of them show them much closer to each other.
Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, the Sergeant pulls his jeep over and headbutts a prisoner who is carrying a Danish flag, seizing it.

Continuity mistake: When the woman stands to sing "Bread and Roses", there is a man in a green shirt with a mustache to her left. The camera pans to other miners. When the camera pans back to the original singer, 20 seconds later, the green shirted, mustachioed man is no longer there.
Continuity mistake: When the soup is about to be served, you see the horns blowing to introduce Victoria, and you can see all of the footmen lined up already with trays of soup, but in the next shot, it shows that they are just starting to march in to line up with their trays of soup. (00:10:45)

Continuity mistake: When the hijacked DC9 aircraft arrives into Algeria for the first time, in a front shot when taxiing, the nose and windshield are of a Boeing 727. Afterwards it becomes a DC9 for the remaining of the movie.
Continuity mistake: Cagney and Ward Bond have a shootout while hiding at the opposite ends of the same moving boxcar. Early in the shooting sequence, Bond fires his gun frame right towards Cagney at the far end of the car and the muzzle flash from the blank round incidentally burns the surface of the wooden trim at the corner of the car. It is quite a large distinctive shaped burn, readily visible on the surface of the car occupying the right side of the frame. However the burn is also visible in all of Cagney's camera shots, still on the car in the right side of the frame, now behind Cagney as he fires frame left. Obviously, the two actors were photographed each taking all of their gun-shots in two sequences, using the space between the same two cars, one firing left, the other firing right. No camera move. Minimal lighting change.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie Armstrong is standing on the surface of the moon and turning towards Earth. At that point the sun is exactly behind him, so Earth should be fully lit. In the next scene Earth (and the moon) are lit from the left, not directly in front as they should be. (02:05:20)
Continuity mistake: As Big Bill is walking towards Batman threatening him, they are standing where the Robins are to Batman's right and the old man and woman are to his left.

But in the next shot he's suddenly moving backwards towards the left to the old man and woman. (00:04:55)
