Other mistake: When Palmer raids the factory in search of Radcliffe, he summons a Land Rover to break down the warehouse door with a silent wave of his hand, but the Land Rover appears from behind a corner and therefore could not have seen him.
Other mistake: In the Dr Radcliffe lecture scene, Harry removes his glasses to clean them revealing his poor eyesight. But in the final escape scenes when he determines and shoots the traitor, he is not wearing glasses.
Continuity mistake: When Palmer comes home and finds the dead American agent on the floor in his flat, the dead agent's eyes and mouth are both wide open. There is a cut to Palmer standing in a door-way, then a cut back to the dead agent, whose eyes are now half-closed and his mouth completely closed.
Palmer: The fellow whose job I'm taking, will he show me the ropes?
Major Dalby: Maybe - if you're in touch with the spirit world.
Palmer: I beg your pardon?
Major Dalby: He was shot this morning.
Trivia: Many years after the film's release, Michael Caine revealed that the studio wanted to cut the scene of Palmer cooking as they feared it would make audiences think that Palmer was gay.
