Factual error: Indy wakes up and has a bottle of Vicodin Es next to him, which was not introduced in the US until 1978, 9 years after the movie is set.
Continuity mistake: While on the boat, Helena does her 7 spades card trick. When she gives Indy a turn, you can see the bottom card is a black 2. When she fans them out, it changes to black king of clubs. Then, in the next shot, it changes to 8 of clubs. (01:16:00 - 01:17:00)
Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. She could be changing those cards by sleight of hand, while moving the 7 of spades into position for the final force. The mistake was not using the 3 of clubs for it.

Continuity mistake: When Voller grabs the Grafikos tablet from the chest, it's covered in sea snot. When he shows it to Indy, most of the snot is gone. Though a couple of drops dripped while taken out of the chest, the missing amount of moss is really big. This happens in a matter of 2 seconds, before Voller rinses the tablet.
