Continuity mistake: During the showdown's sword fight between Lansing and Faisal in the palace hall, there is a far-off shot in which the blade of Lansing's sword can just barely be seen bending off at an unnatural angle, revealing it as a prop. For the rest of the duel, the sword is shown intact. (01:16:44)

Continuity mistake: When Flash plays tag with Faust ("Now you see me, now you don't"), there is a brief shot in which he rushes at Faust - but not inside Hyppolita's palace, but in some high-tech laboratory.

It's simply the re-insertion of a previous cut, when Zippy Lad is criticizing the three failed applicants.
