Continuity mistake: At the farewell celebration for Indy's retirement, the dean calls for the gift to be presented to him, mentioning it is "a token of our gratitude." There's a cut in the middle of the sentence, and Prof. Plimpton is waving a young student in with his left hand, then the right hand.

Stupidity: Despite being wanted by the law, quite possibly the most wanted man in the US for multiple murders, disrupting the most historic parade of the century, and with CIA agents on his tracks, Indy just gets on the commercial flight to Morocco the same evening without the slightest problem.

Other mistake: In Tangiers, Indy's cab pulls over in front of the mob-owned hotel where the famous illegal auction is taking place. It's dark outside, but when we see Indy in the hotel, and more evidently when they get out of the hotel and the car chase starts in the span of 5 minutes, it's broad daylight. That also means that just before 6 AM (when dawn would take place in August), the hotel is chock full of normal people boozing, playing cards, plus an assembly of rich baddies from all over the world who just happen to wait to have an auction.
