The Four Feathers

Factual error: In the scene where the British soldiers form square, there is a drummer boy. The British army stopped using drummer boys after the battle of Isandhlwana in 1879.

Factual error: The Battle of Abu Klea wasn't a decisive British defeat, as depicted. In fact, it was a crushing British victory, with the British killing thousands of Dervishes for the loss of less than one hundred men.

Continuity mistake: There is a scene in which Heath Ledger/Harry is shown in prison and his teeth look absolutely horrible, brown stained and filthy. Several scenes later he is shown fighting with the prison guard after his escape and his teeth look sparkling white and beautiful.
