Factual error: During the opening credits, we see three shots of a map tracking English's flight from Tibet to London. In the first shot, the plane correctly starts following the orthodrome through central Asia, but, in the next two shots, it is taking a meaningless detour over Africa. Furthermore, the labels are wrong: "Red Sea" when the plane is over Somalia, "Somalia" over Ethiopia, "Tunisia" over Libya. (00:04:59 - 00:05:35)

Factual error: When M tells Allan Quatermain that he and his team have four days to go from London to Venice, he answers that this is impossible, and captain Nemo replies that it will be possible thanks to his science-fictional devices. Actually, on late 19th century railways, this trip would have taken less than two days. For example, the Peninsular Express departed every Friday afternoon from London, and it arrived at Brindisi, a considerably more distant town in southern Italy, on Sunday afternoon. (00:16:39)
