Alexander

Revealing mistake: Towards the beginning of the movie, young Alexander tames a horse and then jumps on the horse and rides off. He is supposed to be riding bareback, but in one of the shots from a distance, you can tell that the actor's feet are in stirrups.

Allyson

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Alexander sees the dead king Darius and puts his cloak on him, if you look closer, you can see that the character is breathing. Look closely at his belly.

Earthling

Revealing mistake: When Alexander rides towards the elephant of the Indian King, his sword is obviously waggling and his helmet is bouncing out of shape as though made of rubber.

Rev.Erebus

Deliberate mistake: When Alexander is giving his pre-battle speech at Gaugamela, some of the shots are 'flipped', which has the odd effect of suddenly making all of the phalanx pikemen left-handed.
