Other mistake: In 1902 at the German cafe, Kaunitz spits in Clive's face, and Clive promptly hits him, causing Kaunitz to fall down the steps. After this, several German students close behind Clive are wearing decorative ribbons to show their affiliations. The problem is the costuming department has used ribbons intended to mount miniature British medals for the 1914 or 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory. These decorations didn't exist until 1918/1919 at the earliest. (00:36:01 - 00:38:01)

Other mistake: When Sir James examines a book on witchcraft in the Vicar's library, it is a photographic reprint (more contemporary to 1966) of a much older, original book.

Other mistake: It supposedly takes three weeks for the space ship to arrive at the 13th moon of Jupiter. Yet the people following their progress back on Earth stay in the same positions and clothing throughout all this time.

Other mistake: The fight at the end is unintentionally quite funny for the lack of enthusiasm shown by the extras playing the Burpers. They engage the British soldiers with some half-hearted fighting that's little more than jostling, and when they disengage the fight supposedly in fear and panic at seeing the "Men in Skirts" reveal themselves, most of them are quite slow and calm as they try and get through the narrow gate to escape.

The Illusionist (2006)

Other mistake: Watch the Crown Princes body after he's shot himself in the head at the end of the film. As Inspector Uhl tells the men who broke in what happened, the Crown Prince is still breathing very heavily and noticeably.

Other mistake: At the very beginning of the film, we see Christie commit a murder at the end of the Second World War whilst wearing the uniform of a Special Constable. Christie served during the First World War, and he wears the ribbons of the 1914 or 1914/15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal on his tunic. Unfortunately, whoever put them on put the bar upside down - they read from left to right VM, BWM, Star.
