Sacha

Continuity mistake: Macrinus walks over to where Lucius is bathing and places two coins that lie side by side. A shot later, they're stacked.

Revealing mistake: During the riot at the bleachers, a soldier grabs an arrow from the quiver, places it on the bow, tightens the string, and aims to shoot. The problem is, he's mimicking all the movements. He didn't pick up an arrow in the first place. Seemingly, someone forgot to place the CGI arrow. (02:09:02)

Continuity mistake: When Acacius arrives in Rome and meets with the Emperors, there is a man with a monkey on his shoulder, his face surrounded by bright light. An instant cut later, his face is in the shadows.

Continuity mistake: When Lucila reads two tablets, her right hand suddenly holds a stylus between instant cuts.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: After Lucius kills the wild monkey, he's got blood all over his mouth, beard, chin, and neck. When he stands up, he's spotless.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: Before the big battle between Lucius and Acacius begins, the soldiers arrive at the bleachers, where we see several shots of the people. Check the crowd, and you'll notice it's a flipped shot of the previous people. (01:33:32)

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: Glyceo grabs the sword on the arena floor and extends his right arm. An instant cut later, his arm is lowered, then it cuts back to the previous angle of his arm extended.

Sacha ★

Character mistake: When Lucius holds his wife's corpse in the sea, a wave crashes against her and splashes her face. The actress can't help wincing.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Lucius asks the doctor to give him the prison keys and send a message to the soldiers at Ostia, Lucius' arm is bent around the prison bars, except for a brief shot where it's suddenly straight; then the shot changes and it's bent again.

Continuity mistake: After the Virgil quote scene and the fight that follows, Lucius takes a bath. There's a close-up of him saying something about dying in the arena, and his hair is suddenly better brushed and drier. Then it goes back to the previous wet hairstyle.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Lucius addresses both armies at the city entry, he throws his sword on the floor ahead of him. He walks around, and from the opposite front angle, one can see the sword behind him. From the immediate opposite angle of his back, the sword is gone.

Continuity mistake: After Lucius quotes Virgil, he kills a man who collapses on a chair. When he lies dead, there's a leg or armrest on the floor parallel to his body. A shot later, it's perpendicular.

Revealing mistake: During the naval battle, after an underwater shot of a man being eaten by a shark, check the poop deck on the left, and you'll notice a bulky floor with wrinkles around where people fighting and falling bounce on, revealing a tarp hiding a safety mat.

Sacha ★

Deliberate mistake: When Lucius is shown Maximus' tomb, the painting on the wall reads, "What we do in life echoes in eternity," in plain perfect modern English language. Of course, it helps audiences relate to the first movie, but it's ludicrous, to say the least.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: During the riots night in Rome, Macrinus and Caracalla talk to Geta, his monkey on his shoulder. The position of the monkey is inconsistent in every single shot.
