Revealing mistake: On the collapsing bridge, when the Phantom saves the kid, they swing on a rope hanging from the middle of the bridge. From a wide angle, it's very obvious that there is no possible way whatsoever that the short rope reaches the safe edge of the cliff. When the angle changes to the edge of the cliff, the rope is suddenly hanging from somewhere right above the edge.

Revealing mistake: When the Phantom chases the truck, he holds onto a branch where he later stands to attack the truck. In the close-up, one can see it's an obvious metal bar to allow for a safe stunt.

Revealing mistake: When Diana is about to jump off the plane onto the galloping horse, her hair moves wildly. When the shot changes, she has been replaced by a stunt who looks nothing like her and has her hair fixed.

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.
