25th Dec 2005
Continuity mistake: Right before the chariot race, when Sheik Ilderim is standing at Judah's right side and tells Judah, "Be careful, don't let him near you," Judah places his hand on the Sheik's forearm as the fanfare starts. Then it cuts to a long shot, with the Sheik now suddenly on Judah's left side, and Judah removing his hand from the Sheik's forearm.
23rd Apr 2002
Continuity mistake: Judah Ben-Hur removes the large ring he had received from Arrius and gives it to Pontius Pilate to return to Arrius. Following this, he returns to the leper colony with Esther, and he reunites with Miriam. When Judah is told Tirzah is dying, as Judah searches the cave for Tirzah, he is once again wearing the large ring he had received from Arrius, on his right index finger. Then, that ring vanishes when he finds Tirzah.
Suggested correction: Ben Hur got the ring from Arrius, not from the Emperor. When he goes to the leper colony the first time he is still wearing the ring. Later he gives the ring to Pontius Pilate to return it to Arrius. Then, when he goes to the leper colony the second time he is not wearing the ring anymore.
Aside from changing the mistake's wording to Arrius, the mistake is indeed correct. Rewatch the scenes. Judah Ben-Hur takes off the large ring he had received from Arrius and gives it to Pontius Pilate to return to Arrius. After that scene, he meets with Esther, and they both return to the leper colony. Judah speaks with Miriam, his mother, and he's told Tirzah is dying. Then, as Judah begins to search the cave for Tirzah, Judah is now wearing the large ring he had received from Arrius, on his right index finger. That ring vanishes when he finds Tirzah. The mistake is quite valid.
9th Nov 2010
Revealing mistake: Double Deuce is in Jasper, MO, but this was filmed in California. After Dalton tells Tilghman that Brad Wesley was not afraid, it cuts to Dalton driving. In the background, at the left there's a sign for "Magic Mountain Pkwy" and at the right the California State Route 126 sign that reads "126 West, Ventura." After the Ford dealership is destroyed, another sign in the background reads "Los Angeles, Bakersfield" (the I-5 North to Bakersfield and I-5 South to Los Angeles). (01:25:55)

Suggested correction: The sheik actually moves around the chariot to the right side. No continuity error.
You can't assume that the sheik moves. It's not shown and the shots are so quick in succession the sheik didn't have time to move.
ChiChi
Oh, but actually, there is indeed a continuity error, and it occurs between shots. Sheik Ilderim is standing on one side of the chariot, then in the very next shot he is standing on the other side of the chariot. The suggested correction is wrong.
