Continuity mistake: The chariot race begins with 9 chariots. During the race, 6 of them crash (including Messala's), but after Judah crosses the finish line, we see there are still 3 chariots behind him, making a total of 10.

Visible crew/equipment: During the chariot race, just as Judah (stunt double) flips over in his chariot in the wide shot, a low angle camera is visible on the track under a canopy, at the right side of the screen.
