Revealing mistake: In the final scene when the escape pods land in the water, it's visible that the splash consists of large drops, which would never appear in normal conditions but is easier to do as a digital effect.

Factual error: At the very end, Polly Perkins takes a spectacular picture, using the very last shot on her only roll of film. When Sky Captain tells her she left the lens cap on, she is mortified. But she would certainly know that on her Argus 35mm camera, all she had to do was remove the lens cap and retake the shot. Unlike modern idiot-proof cameras, hers has no mechanism to prevent double-exposures.
