Corrected entry: Wonder Woman says they can't fly commercially because Steve Trevor doesn't have a passport. Except the movie established that only Wonder Woman sees him as Steve Trevor. To the rest of the world he's still the man whose body Steve has inhabited, so there's no reason he can't use his passport.

Correction: In 1989, the earliest date I could find records for, only 3% of US citizens had passports. The overwhelming likelihood is that the real man doesn't have a passport, and given they've spent time in his apartment too, looking for clothes in a montage we didn't see every second of, they clearly also looked around for other relevant information/documents.

Corrected entry: When Diana and Steve take a fighter plane, the seats are side by side. In a real fighter plane the seats are one behind the other.

Aviator

Correction: The plane is an F111, which has the seats side-by-side.

Corrected entry: The movie's plot of a magic wishing stone seems to have been inspired by Gary K. Wolf's book Who Censored Roger Rabbit where a lantern granted wishes. Both though did/appear to be a great cost/reversal of fortune.

Correction: Considering the story of Aladdin involves a magical object leading to wishes being granted, connecting it to a specific book is a stretch. It's been a storytelling device for hundreds of years, if not longer.

Corrected entry: The jocks who are recklessly driving their Trans-Am causing Wonder Woman to give them the Big Boot are also driving a car in Virginia without the required front license plate. (00:11:30)

Correction: That's not a mistake (factual or otherwise). Some people choose not to. One time I bought a new car that didn't have a front plate holder (the holes weren't drilled in) and the dealership told me when I get my plates I can come back and they'll install it for me. I never did and drove it for 10 years without front plates in a state that requires it.

Other mistake: Fireworks use heated metals to produce the various colors seen when they explode - Iron, Nickel, Cryolite, magnesium and copper filings. Flying a jet engine through exploding fireworks would cause serious damage to the engine.

Suggested correction: Diana had conjured an invisibility shield around the jet that would likely protect it from the fireworks.

Agreed, the spell does obviously do more than just make the plane invisible. When looking at the invisibility of Themyscira, the spell obviously filters out the atmosphere and only can't keep out solid objects like planes and ships.

If the cloak of invisibility "filters out the atmosphere", how is the air needed to run the engines getting in?

It filters the atmosphere, not keep it away. So it keeps the atmosphere that comes in clean.

Trivia: Panning around Diana's apartment, the camera briefly lingers on a photo of her with an elderly lady, with no elaboration of its significance. But look closely and you'll realise the woman in the photo is Etta from the first movie, again played by Lucy Davis, just made up to look 67 years older.

Question: How did Antiope know Diana cheated? Why allow her to compete in this contest if she wasn't allowed to train, at first, in the previous movie?

Rob245

Answer: The competitors had to light up the cloth banner beacons using their bows and arrows. Diana finished the course but missed one blue beacon by taking the cave shortcut, so the general grabs her and disqualifies her.

Answer: In the first movie, Diana was much younger and unready to start combat training. In the second movie, the flashback scene takes place some years after that, and Diana has since grown and been in training. During the competition, there were observers along the entire course to ensure that everyone followed the rules, attended to any mishaps, etc. If anyone cheated or failed to complete the required tasks, it would immediately be reported to Antiope.
