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:
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
