影片疏失:
- Anachronisms: A British sergeant wears a Sunderland Football Club scarf with a logo not designed until the 1970s.
- Continuity: Amount of water in the glass handed to Count Laszlo upon arriving at the army poster after walking out of the desert.
- Continuity: As Hana reads the note Almasy has written on the Christmas cracker paper - "the heart is an organ of fire" - we see that it is dated only "December 22". However, when we see Almasy originally writing the note in flashback, we see him date it "December 22, 1938".
- Continuity: Hana lays on a cot, an IV in her arm, donating blood. But when she rises off the cot just as the shelling begins in the next shot, the IV is gone.
- Continuity: Hana reads to Almasy the letter a dying Katharine wrote to him, which he keeps in his book. Yet, when we actually see her reading from it, the letter is not in the book.
- Continuity: Hana sweeps her wet hair off her forehead as she talks to Caravaggio; in the next shot, the hair is back on her forehead.
- Continuity: The fuse on the bomb physically changes between shots while Kip works on it. And, in the extreme close-up of the wires being cut, just one connected wire is seen.
- Continuity: The hair Katharine twirls and pins to her head at the campfire shifts position between shots, as does her shawl.
- Continuity: The headset Kip wears as he sweeps the road for mines disappears and reappears between shots.
- Crew or equipment visible: After Hana washes her hair she places a lamp on a table behind her, but her shadow is projected onto the wall behind the lamp.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Clifton asks Moose what a husband gives his wife on their first anniversary because he's not sure if it is cotton or paper. Moose says paper, which is true for Americans, but is traditionally cotton for the British.
- Factual errors: Extras in the Cairo market are wearing burnooses (hooded robes). These are worn in Tunisia (where the Egyptian scenes in the film were shot), but not in Egypt.
- Factual errors: German paratroops did not land via parachute in North Africa until late 1942. The fall of Tobruk was in summer 1942.
- Factual errors: Germany did not use paratroopers in East Africa.
- Factual errors: In the Tobruk interrogation center, the German officer wears the shoulder boards of a major and the SS collar insignia of a full colonel.
- Factual errors: Major Muller is wearing the rank insignia of SS-Standartenfuehrer, which is equivalent to full colonel.
- Factual errors: The Indian engineer that Hana falls in love with is a "lieutenant" commanding British sappers. Indians weren't given commissions in the British army. They were commissioned in Indian units, but he is the only Indian around, making this explanation unlikely.
- Revealing mistakes: The music that Hanna plays on the bomb-rigged piano does not correspond with the keys that she is actually playing.
- Revealing mistakes: When an Egyptian worker hits his head on the overhanging wall of the cave, the rock flexes.
