Visible crew/equipment: After exiting the turnstile, Sator looks through the window separating the two rooms and watches his past self interrogating the Protagonist in the opposite room. In the shot where his past self is shown hitting the Protagonist across the head with his gun (in reverse), the wheels of the camera dolly can be seen reflected in the window to the left of shot.

Continuity mistake: Just after the interrogation has been shown from Sator's perspective, it cuts back to the Protagonist and the other soldiers in the present.

Continuity mistake: When Sator is in the blue room after walking through the turnstile, he picks up Kat, puts her against the window, counts down from three to one and shoots her. Whilst he is counting down, he has his hand on Kat's shoulder. The camera then changes to a different angle where his hand is now on Kat's upper arm, and then moves onto her shoulder. Sator then pulls Kat away from the window with his hand on her upper arm. (01:24:58)

Continuity mistake: In Stalsk-12, Wheeler and a blue team soldier take cover inside a house in which chunks of rubble have been blown out of the wall. When the pieces of rubble begin to reassemble back into the wall, Wheeler runs out and the soldier attempts to run out but gets sealed back in. Right after Wheeler runs out of the hole, and the soldier begins screaming, he is shown standing upright. But in the next shot, right before the rubble chunks go back into the wall, the soldier can be seen now kneeling over the hole in the wall. (02:05:45)

The camera then changes angles and the oxygen tank is now in her right hand and the tube is suddenly attached to the tank. (01:30:02)

Continuity mistake: When the Protagonist and Neil first see the inverted vehicle driving backwards towards them, there is a bridge (with an Alexela sign) shown in front of them and just ahead of the bridge is a gas station shown to the right of shot. It then cuts back to the Protagonist and Neil, where Neil asks "The hell is that?" and when it cuts back to outside the windscreen again, the bridge (with the Alexela sign) and the gas station are no longer visible, presumably having driven past them. It then cuts to a shot focusing on the Protagonist, and when the shot cuts back to the inverted vehicle bumping into the wing mirror, they are suddenly behind the bridge and gas station again and are yet to drive past it.
