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 generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“My errors are by now natural and incorrigible; but the good that worthy men do the public by making themselves imitable, I shall perhaps do by making myself evitable.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
