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:
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It’s a remarkably shrewed and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
