Alexander picture

Continuity mistake: When Alexander builds an altar for Titans to mark the furthest point he has reached, both him and Hephaestion are reasonably recovered from severe wounds they suffered during the battle of Hydaspes, which was the last battle mentioned. However, we can see scratches and minor injuries on many characters' faces that appear very fresh and would have disappeared without a trace in the time it took for the deeper wounds to heal.

Dear Frankie picture

Continuity mistake: When Frankie and Lizzie meet the Stranger on the docks Sunday at 1:00pm, it is quite overcast when the Stranger asks Frankie, "Right. You choose, where do you want to go?" The shot immediately moves to a hillside overlooking the docks and the skies are almost completely clear and blue. We know a narrow window of time has passed based on information on what transpires before and after this scene. (01:10:50)
