Continuity mistake: When Fury and Stark are talking in the destroyed house, the butler is seen relaxing in the background with both arms resting by his lap. A frame later, from a different angle, the butler has his arms raised and he's watching through a pair of binoculars.

Continuity mistake: When Hammer brings the parrot, the handle above the cage is leaning to the left. A couple shots later it's leaning to the right side, with no one having touched it. (01:04:35)

Continuity mistake: Ivan doesn't have a toothpick in his mouth when he was handcuffed, his head covered with a hood, and put in a van. As soon as the hood is taken off and he walks towards Hammer, one suddenly appears in his mouth after an angle change.
Continuity mistake: Inside the waterfall, Ox takes out the skull, moves his hand from the top to the side of the skull. The angle changes and the hand remains on the side, but when the angle changes to behind Ox his hand is on top of the skull, repeating the first movements.
Continuity mistake: In Akator, Indy, surrounded by Marion and Mac, tells Mutt to find a stone. When Mutt comes back, in less than a second, Marion and Mac are nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: During the ants scene, Indy is about to grab a stick to the left of his hat. In the close-up the stick and the hat have swapped sides.
Continuity mistake: When Ox finds out about the stone that pours out sand, Mutt is up the stairs. Then the angle changes and he is down, starting to walk upwards.
Continuity mistake: Inside the waterfall Ox takes out the skull while Marion watches from behind. When the angle changes, her hand is suddenly on his shoulder.
Continuity mistake: Indy uses a huge rock to smash the stone where sand is coming out and hands the rock to Mac. From one shot, Mac falls backwards and sits down, but from a different angle he is standing up slightly crouched.
Continuity mistake: Ox takes out the skull, Marion walks behind him, moving to a corner on the right. In the next angle Indy says, "Ox, I think I understand" and Marion is suddenly gone, only to magically reappear a frame later.
Continuity mistake: When the Akator temple starts to move, the sand by the groups' feet keeps changing from sandy with a couple of rocks, to filled with weeds and leaves, and back to sandy.
Other mistake: Spalko is hanging from a tree to avoid the sting of the ants. When a CGI ant is on her knee she closes both legs and smashes it. If you watch closely you'll notice that when she closed her legs the ant was already over her thigh, so if it had been a real ant it would have been impossible to kill that way.
Continuity mistake: Inside the waterfall temple, the group walks by a room (with a passage on each side and a double entrance with steps in the middle) where natives appear and columns and walls fall off. The angle changes to a seemingly new room, but it's obviously the same place, with the camera angle slightly turned to the right. All the previous people are magically gone, the debris has disappeared, and natives are coming out of different places. Really odd editing. (01:30:35)
Continuity mistake: In the alien room, Spalko walks to Ox to take the skull away from him. In the first angle Marion is standing to the left of Ox, but in the immediate close-up she is behind him.
Continuity mistake: Mutt says, "We have to cross the waterfall," and extends her left hand. From the opposite angle, a frame later, he is extending the right arm.
Continuity mistake: When the Russians arrive at the barrier the sky is either sun setting, bright and sunny, or cloudy, depending on the angle.

Continuity mistake: In the opening senate scene, the Senator's jug of water keeps turning around and moving closer/away from the nameplate between shots. (00:11:35)
