Suggested correction: This is incorrect. Holmes carries a sword from the moment he and Watson leave the pyramid. He drops it to the ground when Elizabeth is shot and picks it up again to fight Rathe.

Big Game

Continuity mistake: The drawing of Waxflatter and his friends that Watson shows Holmes is totally different from the one Holmes shows Elizabeth in the room Rathe assigned to her. Also, it can be observed in the same scene that the hands on the drawing (supposedly of Holmes and Watson) are those of an adult (or even an old man). (01:10:46)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: After Professor Rathe dismisses Elizabeth, Watson, and Holmes from his office, Holmes turns towards Rathe whose arms are hanging down, but the next closeup shot of Rathe shows his arms crossed across his chest.

Mistakes

Revealing mistake: There are several instances where you can see that the bandages used to wrap up the girls are pre-assembled. When the first girl is "waxed" you can see there are no joins between the bandages, they are all in one piece - almost like a body stocking. You can also see this later with Elizabeth, and it becomes more significant because you see the bandages being wrapped around her head as normal, and then when Watson pulls them off, they come away in one piece like a balaclava, which of course shouldn't happen.

Trivia

Trivia: This is the first movie in human history to ever to feature a fully CG (computer generated) character when the knight emerges from the stained glass window. Computer graphics had existed prior (Wrath of Kahn), but never once to simulate an on-screen character.
