The Dictator

Continuity mistake: The Wadiyan Games' 100 m race is edited from different takes. The distances between the athletes and Aladeen do not match, and even the start is shot with different timing. (00:01:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Aladeen arrives at the hotel, he walks up the stairs and talks with a man. When the shot changes to a closer angle, the people behind are not continuous with the previous shot.

Sacha

Factual error: When Aladeen discusses how his rocket has to be pointy on the top, the rocket-scientist says: "The shape of the missile top has nothing to do with aerodynamics." This is factually wrong. Nose cone design is very important for aerodynamics. A real rocket-scientist never would say something like that. Stupid Aladeen even could be right with his pointy nose demands (although he fears a bounce back of the rocket not bad aerodynamic characteristics), because most modern missiles do have pointy nose cones.
