North West Frontier mistake picture

Factual error: Captain Scott is sometimes seen with a Mk VI Webley, a historical anachronism as these date from 1915 onwards, whilst the film is set in 1905. This is also a continuity error as sometimes (particularly later in the film when he is fighting van Layden on the train roof) he now carries a much more period-correct Webley (MK V or earlier).

Andrew Upton

Revealing mistake: Watch the back projection of the Great Northern desert in the train carriage windows. At one point a lorry appears, waiting at a level crossing for the train (that the film was shot from) to pass.
