Continuity mistake: Right before the chariot race, when Sheik Ilderim is standing at Judah's right side and tells Judah, "Be careful, don't let him near you," Judah places his hand on the Sheik's forearm as the fanfare starts. Then it cuts to a long shot, with the Sheik now suddenly on Judah's left side, and Judah removing his hand from the Sheik's forearm.

Corrected entry: In the scene where De Niro is putting all of his stuff in the trunk of the old beater he sometimes drives, you can clearly see part of the crew behind his head to the left WAY in the background of the parking garage. (01:53:50)
Correction: The shot is SO quick and brief, you can't tell if it's crew, a car, or a shadow.

Corrected entry: The astronauts should had immediately realized they were back on Earth, at the beginning of the movie, if they had only gazed at the Moon or constellations in the night time sky (even if it was the year 3978). Naturally that observation would have made that a different movie.
Correction: A comment is made very early in the movie about the thunder and lightning with no rain and how there is a strange luminescence but no moon, which would make the stars invisible too. The climate and night sky may have been drastically changed by whatever has happened in the years since they have been traveling.

10th Dec 2001
Corrected entry: Jaqueline Bisset and Steve McQueen are driving in her yellow Porsche on the busy freeway. A grey saloon and 3 red lorries feature behind in the shot. Bisset and McQueen stop the car and get out for a chat on the side of the road. They then get back in and drive off, with same grey car and 3 red lorries behind them!
Correction: At the start of the scene a blue car is on the off ramp as McQueen and bisset pull off the highway in the yellow Porsche. After the cliff top scene it cuts back to the highway and the same blue car is just leaving the highway with the yellow Porsche 3 cars behind it. They just used an earlier piece of the same shot.
Correction: They are not shown driving away in this scene. There is a brief shot of the car parked on the shoulder, and one red truck can be seen approaching, but it is a highway and there's probably other red trucks traveling there.

Corrected entry: The driver of the Dodge Charger during the chase scene with Steve McQueen's Mustang is an actual stunt driver (even in close-up). He is obviously killed when the Charger crashes into (behind) the gas station.

Then watch closely...the last car is driven out by the stunt driver of the Charger!
Correction: There is a man with large black glasses driving out of the garage, but his face is not seen. It could be anyone.
3rd May 2004
Corrected entry: When Danny DeVito goes to the morgue to see if the body they found matches his wife's (Midler). He goes and sees this body and he says it looks like her, a lot like her. And she looks nothing like Bette Midler.

10th May 2004

Corrected entry: About fifty minutes in, Liam Neeson is searching for Ben Kingsley on a trainload of trucks. He has gone well past the truck with Kingsley in it, then the latter comes to the 'window'. In the next shot, Neeson is back along the train, right by that window.

Suggested correction: The sheik actually moves around the chariot to the right side. No continuity error.
You can't assume that the sheik moves. It's not shown and the shots are so quick in succession the sheik didn't have time to move.
ChiChi
Oh, but actually, there is indeed a continuity error, and it occurs between shots. Sheik Ilderim is standing on one side of the chariot, then in the very next shot he is standing on the other side of the chariot. The suggested correction is wrong.
