Revealing mistake: On the collapsing bridge, when the Phantom saves the kid, they swing on a rope hanging from the middle of the bridge. From a wide angle, it's very obvious that there is no possible way whatsoever that the short rope reaches the safe edge of the cliff. When the angle changes to the edge of the cliff, the rope is suddenly hanging from somewhere right above the edge.

Revealing mistake: When the Phantom chases the truck, he holds onto a branch where he later stands to attack the truck. In the close-up, one can see it's an obvious metal bar to allow for a safe stunt.

Revealing mistake: When Diana is about to jump off the plane onto the galloping horse, her hair moves wildly. When the shot changes, she has been replaced by a stunt who looks nothing like her and has her hair fixed.

Factual error: When Xander's thugs are taking the Phantom up to the roof to do away with him, he breaks away and ducks into the machinery room for the elevator. In the scene the door of the room is lockable from the inside only. This door should be lockable from only the outside.

Trivia: Billy Zane was a fan of the character and took the film very seriously. He spent a year working out and doing weight training to build muscle mass, so he wouldn't have to wear a fake muscle suit. He'd also leave set in full costume and drive around, get lunch, etc.
