Visible crew/equipment: When Joan and Omar arrive in his country on a helicopter, film lights are visible in the glass of the helicopter.
Continuity mistake: When Jack, Joan and the Jewel are trying to jump on the moving train, Joan is wearing slip-on shoes, however once she has jumped onto the train and falls over the side her shoes have changed to buckle sandals.
Question: The lead villain Omar bears a striking resemblance to actor Omar Sharif (although it isn't him). Was naming him Omar an in-joke or just coincidence?
Chosen answer: Most likely a coincidence. It's a common Middle Eastern name.
