Revealing mistake: Charlie and Rose get married in front of a pretty, but obvious, matte painting of a lake (with unmoving waves). (01:41:30)

Other mistake: In all of its appearances, the British flag (also known as the Union Flag and the flag of the United Kingdom) is wrong. The flag's X-shaped red Cross of Saint Patrick is shown as (a) wide, and (b) centered on its white background, whereas on the actual flag, it is (a) thin, and (b) not centered on its white background, but rather off-center in a counter-clockwise direction.

Rose Sayer: Dear Lord, We've come to the end of our journey, and in a little while we'll stand before you. I pray for you to be merciful. Judge us not for our weaknesses, but for our love and open the doors of heaven for Charlie and me.
