Character mistake: Right before the door of the tomb closes and traps one of the Mondoshawans inside at the beginning of the film, the Priest says "hurry, you still have time". But there is not enough room left for the Mondoshawan to squeeze through.

Suggested correction: It is not said for what there is time. Maybe not to get out but to do something else - we don't know what these aliens can do, but the priest could. The Mondoshivan manages to get the key out; maybe that was meant.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Maybe my entry wasn't clear enough. Even if the Mondoshawan did have enough time to escape, it still wouldn't have been able to fit through. It would be literally impossible. So what the Priest said was still incorrect, in my opinion.

Continuity mistake: When Zorg is first seen walking, and the screen only shows his legs, there is an audible clank as he steps with his RIGHT leg. After that, the clank is heard from his left foot. (00:47:10)

Zorg: I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety. And worse, they fight for hopeless causes. Honor? Huh! Honor's killed millions of people, it hasn't saved a single one. Tell you what I do like though. A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough.

Trivia: When the priest states that he has a theory on the advancing planet near the beginning of the film, the president tells him that he has '20 seconds.' Cornelius gives his theory - which takes exactly 20 seconds.

Question: Has anyone recognized any of the pictures on the wall of the building on the left as Corben's taxi is being tailed by 4 police cars? They seem like they're significant, if not direct references.

Answer: I looked it up and it is Jill Milan. If you do a search for her, it is in her credits as an actress.
