The Phantom

Continuity mistake: The Phantom and Diana take an airplane to escape the boat. Drax's henchmen shoot at it, touch the gas tank and gas starts flowing from it. You can only see gas two times, during close shots.

Dr Wilson

Continuity mistake: At the end when Billy Zane takes off his mask, the black makeup around his eyes "magically" disappears, even before the eyepatch section gets pulled from his face.

Continuity mistake: When the young boy crawls on the sea shore after being attacked by pirates, his hairstyle changes between shots.

Sacha

Audio problem: When policemen are pursuing the Phantom in the park, their motorcycle tyres makes sounds and sparkles on the ground as if it was asphalt, but it's dirt.

Trivia: Billy Zane was a fan of the character and took the film very seriously. He spent a year working out and doing weight training to build muscle mass, so he wouldn't have to wear a fake muscle suit. He'd also leave set in full costume and drive around, get lunch, etc.

Question: If Diana was able to recognize Kit even after years of not seeing him then how come she didn't notice he has the same voice as the Phantom, whom she had just been with the day before? He doesn't try to disguise his voice in any way.

Answer: She was preoccupied trying to escape from the bad guys and annoyed that a guy in a purple suit, was trying to save her, when she said, "I can do it myself." It was most likely later, in New York, when the met face to face. Kit and Diana, when she put two and two together. Again was too preoccupied trying to save the world to pause and confront him.

Answer: In real life, she would likely have recognized it. Movies employ a "suspension of disbelief." Audiences are expected to accepted something they know is not realistic in order for the plot to play out.
