Continuity mistake: When the older dude tells the protagonists "They can't talk to you, man, they're dead", his pen points down in the wide shot, up in the close-up. (00:28:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Glenn shouts at March for cussing, she points at him with her left hand. Next shot and she's pointing with the right. (01:31:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When March says "Tally! Oh my God, you look incredible", he opens his arms, which are still firmly down his sides in the next shot. (01:34:55)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The profile of commander Okita misses a space when his education is mentioned ("Healso holds a doctorate").

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the marketplace scene in Aswan, Poirot sits down with Jackie to try to talk her out of her stalking routine. She lets him at her table and sets the sunglasses by the handbag. The glasses are angled towards the bag, but when she mentions her father in another shot the glasses are placed the opposite way. (00:29:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After Bouc's exposition about every major character at the wedding party, Linnet and Simon run off in the middle of the dance (you can hear the line "Looking good, Simon!" and they sprint away). They do so in a characteristic way - Simon has to slightly duck to avoid someone's arm - but in the reverse shot the action happens in an entirely different way, and Poirot, who they pass by both times, is dancing with his partner in a different position. (00:25:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Simon Doyle during the meeting with the family in the hotel lobby professes his love to his bride. He finishes his declaration walking towards her to kiss her, but you can see before Gal Gadot pulls him for the kiss that his face is not moving even if he is supposedly still finishing the sentence. (00:24:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Gal Gadot picks up the photo showing the inspirational family photo that Cousin Andrew brought as a gift, she holds the box with picture in a slightly different way in every shot (first it changes the distance between her hands and Cousin Andrew's, then the way the paper is folded against the box or flapping freely). (00:23:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the top of the stairs during the wedding party, Bouc makes a comment about adenoids and flat feet while Gal Gadot waves at the guests and her husband with a theatrical gesture puts her hand under his arm. The same gesture repeats in the next shot as we see the pain of doctor Windlesham. (00:22:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The maid is admiring herself in the mirror with the Tiffany necklace, with an unhealthy dose of self-indulgence. The bulky pendant is supported by her middle finger, and her ring finger in close-up is on her shirt. In the next shot, the ring finger is inside the open shirt. (00:21:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: When Linnet walks to her room never to wake up again, she walks past a newspaper ("Daily Sketch") with the date of Monday, May 17, 1937. Since the cover story is the opening scene in the night club, and the wedding happens exactly six weeks after that scene, the movie has to take place in July at most. However, in the hotel lobby in Aswan, during the introduction of Ms. Van Schuyler and her companion (right after cousin Andrew tells the clerk that "not a soul" must see the telegram), one of the guests is reading issue 700 of the French magazine Candide, which came out only mid-August of the same year. (00:20:30 - 01:00:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Poirot is admiring the Sphynx. He reaches for his drink; in the wide shot you can see that the yellow bookmark inside his Baedeker's is curled in a loop, but it's perfectly straightened in the close-up. (00:16:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During Salome's opening performance, after she sings "Where in the devil they're at" Poirot is watching intently Simon and Jackie dance in the crowd. There's a rather remarkable view of Emma Mackey with her leg tossed atop of Armie Hammer's shoulder. In the previous shot though she was visible in the background in a different position. (00:10:25)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: Katherine visits Poirot at the field hospital; the opening line has a loud gulping, most likely dubbed, and then Branagh's voice says "I asked you...not to come" with the second part of the sentence added in dub; his lips don't move. (00:05:45)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The opening assault of the movie bears the date October 31, 1914. Poirot's squad attacks the Germans using the cover of gas delivered through canisters. The first documented use of poison gas in warfare was in April of the following year by the Germans, but it possible that the Belgians would attack using non-lethal gas, which they employed starting August of the same year. They wouldn't have the gas masks that they are sporting during the assault, though, including a full headed hood designed by Cluny MacPherson in 1915 (worn by one of the extras that wanders behind Poirot as he takes off his respirator). (00:04:10)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: When Poirot's team attacks the Germans, they do it through the cover of gas they release. The Germans are having a good time chatting and not taking the situation seriously when there's a big cloud of noxious gas advancing towards them. Despite Poirot's oh-so-clever plan, they should by all means know that something is coming their way, but they get caught entirely with their pants down.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The Nice Guys have just dropped the disfigured body onto the fancy dinner table of someone. They run away, but before the camera cuts away you can see Ryan Gosling is trying hard not to laugh. (00:47:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When you tell Josy that you have been admitted to college, the liquor on the shelf "Three Amigo Tequila" is poorly textured; the first and last letters of 'Tequila' do not fit the label and go out of frame.

Sammo ★

Character mistake: At the cafeteria, the list of pizzas opens with "Margarita"; the correct name of the pizza is "Margherita."

Sammo ★

Factual error: During the scene with Amelia in Holly's bedroom, on the wall you can see the iconic photo on the cover of the "London Calling" album by The Clash. It's a photo with the bassist smashing the guitar onstage at the Palladium September 20, 1979, almost two years after the movie supposedly takes place. But there's also a Blondie poster on the right of the bed which, while based in fact on a shot from 1976, is a modern cheap styling in pink leopard print widely, marketed on the internet today but that is not appropriate to the time period.
