Continuity Errors
As the four main characters drink their lagers, the size of the head in their glasses keeps changing; as they drive into the square, the location of which is in fact Cathedral Square in Tripoli, Libya, a 1956 Morris Minor can be seen; and as van der Poel/Lutz leaves, a Series 1 Land Rover and a Renault Fregate are in the frame.
The Austin K2 ambulance at the start of the epic climb of the final escarpment is the normal solid beam-axle, two-wheel-drive variety, whereas in the subsequent sequences it appears to be modified to four-wheel-drive with a differential front axle.
When the ambulance falls down the escarpment, to which John Mills character (Captain Anson) runs after it and tries to jump in the drivers seat another driver can be seen already sat in the seat driving.

Famous quotes containing the words continuity and/or errors:
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“Their errors have been weighed and found to have been dust in the balance; if their sins were as scarlet, they are now white as snow: they have been washed in the blood of the mediator and the redeemer, Time.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
