Plot hole: When the acrobats free Haroun at the smithy, they lure his guards into the blacksmith's house singly or in pairs and knock them out. however, the sound of the blows and the rapid succession they are called for should have made the guards suspicious.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning, the harem teacher and his pupils read the story (which becomes the movie) from the book Arabian Nights. The huge book propped up in front of the old man, though, is only an empty cover with no pages at all.
