Revealing mistake: When the tidal wave floods the city and the road, one can see a thick line where the water footage was pasted over the city footage. Furthermore, all of the cars keep driving despite the chaos, and not a single object falls down.

Revealing mistake: Despite the heavy snowfall in Siberia, not a single flake falls on the people or clothes, nor is there any ice on them, revealing the snow is just footage matted over the scene.

Factual error: When Mission Control talks with Challenger 2, the Spacecraft's camera feeds of the Crew are displayed up on two wall-sized TV screens. Between them is the familiar Mercator map of Earth with the ground track of a low-orbiting satellite superimposed. Challenger is nowhere near low orbit: it's out past Mars, in the Asteroid Belt. The middle screen would have a schematic of the ship's interplanetary path.
