Audio problem: When Viktor is celebrating the end of the war in Krakozia in the bar, we see Amelia approaching the bar. As she does, we hear Viktor give a loud "Krakozia!" Watch his mouth when he does. By this time, we have a clear view of his mouth and his cry of "Krakozia!" comes before his lips make the appropriate movements.
Deliberate mistake: When Tom Hanks is picked up at the airport by a taxi, its license plate number is TX7943. Later when he is picked up at the Ramada Inn, he is picked up by a taxi with a different driver, different numbers on the top, but has the same license plate number.
Visible crew/equipment: When Viktor is being asked to say he is afraid of his country, you can see a man with silver-colored headphones (a crewmember) reflected in the window.
Deliberate mistake: When Amelia and Viktor are talking for the first time and she asks him out for dinner, look at the people behind Viktor. One of those men is actually Stanley Tucci wearing a tropical suit, when Stanley Tucci is the actor playing the bald bad guy who manages the airport.
Suggested correction: It's not Stanley Tucci. It's just another bald white man.

Continuity mistake: When Victor's friend is lighting the candles for Victor and Amelia, he places the lighter over his arm for the 1st candle then moves around to light the other. We see him light it without his arm under it but in the next shot he is moving the arm out from under the lighter.
Factual error: When Viktor is singing the Krakozhian national anthem, he is singing absolute gibberish, according to my Russian speaking mother.
