Continuity mistake: In the scene at The Yellow River where the Indians are chasing Gregory Peck and the gang of Omar Sharif on their way to the draft, you can see the same sequence with some trees (filmed with the camera holding up) twice within a second. (01:26:15)
Continuity mistake: When Gregory Peck and Camilla Sparv are climbing the rock ladder at "Cañón Del Oro", you can see that they are climbing the same piece of ladder over and over again. They do it 3 times. (01:48:45)
