Revealing mistake: When Artim goes back into the cave to retrieve his little pet, we see that the creature is almost as big as his fist. When he grabs it, he closes his fist rather tightly, revealing that the creature is CGI, otherwise it would have been squished.

Continuity mistake: When the Enterprise breaks through the galactic barrier and enters orbit around Sha-Ka-Ri, there is no star/sun. When they are on the planet, you can see sunlight streaming down.

Continuity mistake: When Artim goes back into the cave to get his little pet he picks it up with his right hand, when the camera changes, it is now in his left hand.

Revealing mistake: When the Bak'u are fleeing, and running across the bridge, you can briefly see the launchers that are used to propel the stunt people into the air.

Continuity mistake: Shinzon's outfit changes between shots near the end of the movie. When he is projected via hologram into Picard's ready room, and during the first half of the battle with the Romulan warbirds, Shinzon's shoulder pads are pointed. Halfway through the battle, the shoulder pads change to smaller, flat ones.

Continuity mistake: When Shinzon goes off to fight Picard, he pulls out a knife that has two straight blades that meet together at the points. When the fight occurs, one of the blades is shorter than the other, and they do not meet at the points.

Other mistake: When the robotic Ilya punches her way out of sick bay, the edges of the hole should be pointed outward, and there should be debris on the floor. There is no debris, and the edges are pointing inward.

Factual error: The Secretary of Defense states that the remains of the defeated Decepticons were dropped into the Laurentian Abyss, "the deepest point on Earth". The deepest point on Earth is actually Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench. Given the location was specifically chosen BECAUSE it's the deepest point on earth, it would have been properly researched by the characters, making this a movie mistake rather than a character mistake. (02:14:50)

Factual error: In the beginning scenes which take place in Qatar (not Bahrain), you can see tall mountains all around in the background. Qatar is surrounded by desert and a few hills such as Tuwayyir al Hamir that are up to about 325 ft in height, but it has NO tall mountains. All filming locations are in the US.

Continuity mistake: When Lamia is in the coach communicating with her sisters in the mirror, her image goes from old to young back to old again between shots. (00:59:40)

Continuity mistake: When Septimus attacks the redheaded farm boy, the position of his knife changes between shots, from the farm boy's throat to behind his ear, several times. (00:58:05)

Revealing mistake: When Humperdink and the six-fingered man are on horseback near the coast, discussing strategy, you can tell that the ocean is a matte painting, as the waves and whitecaps never move.

wizard_of_gore ★

Other mistake: At the end of the movie, as the ship is approaching Earth, the Earth is backwards. Africa is obviously pointing in the wrong direction, as if the image has been reversed.

wizard_of_gore ★

Factual error: Near the beginning of the movie, which is set in 1977, the song "Grace of God" is playing in a club. "Grace of God" didn't come out until 1979.

Factual error: After removing him from command, Ramsey reviews Hunter's record, which says that Hunter was last stationed on the USS Alaska, SSBN-723. The USS Alaska is actually SSBN-732.

Trivia: The narrator of the film is actually the director, Cecil B. DeMille.

Factual error: Julius Caesar could not have commanded the Garrison of Rome, since it did not exist at the time the film is set.

wizard_of_gore ★

Factual error: The Mariner's gills that allow him to apparently breathe ocean water, are extremely unlikely. Even mammals that live underwater, like whales and dolphins, did not evolve gills. It is not possible for a warm-blooded creature to supply itself with enough oxygen using only small gills.

Other mistake: All of the lights on one of the Christmas trees stay on throughout the movie, even though the power was cut, and only emergency lighting supposedly was left on.

Trivia: The scene where Colonel Kilgore offers his canteen to the wounded Vietcong is based on a real incident. The army officer really did say, "Any man brave enough to fight with his guts strapped to him can drink from my canteen any day". (From Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse).
