Factual error: When Tewkesbury sees Enola's rented room, she asks if he was expecting a room at the Ritz. The Hotel Ritz in London opened in 1906, and the Paris branch opened in 1898. This film is set in 1884.
Factual error: The old percussion double barrel shotgun is firing modern shotgun shells, which would never work or fit in that gun, and furthermore are also made of plastic, wrong for the era.
Factual error: The film is set in 1884. The locomotive used in the scene on the platform is engine no. 2857, a GWR 2-8-0 that was built in 1903, 19 years after the film is set. (00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when Enola is deciphering the personals advert she initially writes "Meet me a" but when it goes back to her writing afterwards it has changed to "meet me royal..."
Factual error: Viscount Tewkesbury uses Marquess of Basilwether as a secondary title. However, marquess is two ranks above viscount in British nobility; a secondary title would only be of a lower rank, and the only rank lower than viscount is baron.
Continuity mistake: The school uniforms completely change halfway through the school portion of this movie. It's the whole top white piece of the dress. (01:19:46 - 01:22:29)
