Corrected entry: When the Hebrews are leaving Egypt, packed on donkeys carrying water jugs, wearing dusty sandals, the camera pans around to a blind man - wearing a watch.

Ten Commandments (1956)
Corrected entry: In the scene after Joshua has an altercation with Dathan about painting his doorpost, Joshua looks up at a crescent moon. However, it is a fact that Passover has been and still is celebrated on a full moon.
Correction: I'd like to agree with this one, but when it is celebrated and when it actually happened could be two different dates. I don't know of anything that states exactly what date in the Hebrew calendar the Tenth Plague was visited on Egypt, and celebrating it on the very-visible full moon makes for great consistency year-to-year.
This also happened when the fingers of the destroying mist on Passover night descended past a thin crescent moon. God told Moses in Exodus 12: 6 to eat and keep this first Passover on the fourteenth day of the Hebrew lunar month, so this would have been a full moon, as it still is for Passover to this very day.

Corrected entry: There is a scene with a Pepsi can on a rock. A worker must have forgotten to pick it up before filming.
Correction: According to the Pepsi web site, canned Pepsi went into full scale production in 1965, almost a decade after the movie.
Correction: I can find no evidence of a watch on the blind fellow. He does wear, on his right wrist, a leather strap, but so do the two children with him.
