Audio problem: When Hector is giving his speech to the Trojans as they stand outside the gates in face of the oncoming Greeks, he gives his final line of the speech and there is a rousing cheer from the soldiers. However, none of the soldiers move in any way in the wide shot. (00:38:35)

Audio problem: When Agamemnon and the Greeks are retreating, Odysseus shouts, "Back to the ships!" in a close-up while he rides with Agamemnon on his chariot, but his mouth is not in sync with the words; nor is Agamemnon's when he shouts the same in the previous wideshot (not his close-up).

Audio problem: When the Greeks are sacking Troy towards the end of the film, you can hear a soldier yell "Aquí" twice. Aquí is Spanish for here. Most of the movie was filmed in Mexico and used Mexicans as extras.
