Troy

Audio problem: When the Greeks are sacking Troy towards the end of the film, you can hear a soldier yell "Aquí" twice. Aquí is Spanish for here. Most of the movie was filmed in Mexico and used Mexicans as extras.

Continuity mistake: When Achilles is burning Patroclus' body, the moonlight reflects slightly off his arms.

Continuity mistake: After the Trojans were ordered to push forward after the Greek's first attack, blood can be seen suddenly appearing on a few of the Greeks shields.

Revealing mistake: When the soldiers of Greece are collecting the wood for the Trojan horse, you see bits coming of the wood, revealing the white Styrofoam used to make the wood.
