Errors in geography
In Schwedelbach, Germany, the background shows mountains. There's no mountains in that area, only hills.
When June goes up the escalator at the airport, just before she runs into Roy, the people behind her change from police to civilians and back again.
When Roy is driving June in the Volvo after shooting Rodney, he enters a parking building, and when on the top floor he slides the car to align perfectly in a parking space. In the next scene the car isn't aligned and some parking spaces that were not there previously appear as well as some tire tracks.
Towards the end, Roy and Simon are in the engine at the front of the train. June wakes up and goes to eat. Roy and Simon are later seen moving towards the front of the train searching for June who has gone to the rear of the train. Eventually Roy and Simon get to the rear of the train by moving forward.
When June tails Roy in Salzburg, her hair becomes layered and wavy.
When Director George and Fitzgerald interrogate June on the night she follows Roy from the hotel to the meeting, it is clearly daytime outside one of the windows.
When Roy drops the battery in the ice to cool it, it starts hissing and smoking, showing that it is hot enough to both melt ice and instantly turn it to steam (well above boiling). However only a few seconds earlier he had it in his bare hands, which would have caused 3rd-degree burns.
When the spy planes start bombing Roy's private island, June grabs her purse, which contains her and Roy's cell phones, and they dive into the ocean to escape. In the next scene, she received a call on her cell phone, which should have been ruined after being immersed in seawater.
When the Spanish segment is introduced the description says "Sevilla Spain", thus mixing languages. It should read "Seville, Spain" or "Sevilla, Espana".
The car referred to as a G Body Grand Prix is actually what appears to be a 1970 full size Pontiac Catalina or Executive sedan, a B-body.
It is impossible to drive to Cape Horn. Cape Horn is actually an island (Hornos), under Chilean sovereignty, seventy kilometers away from Navarino Island, last point where you can find both a car and a route.
While a person cannot drive to Cape Horn, there is a ferry, so one can drive onto the ferry and then drive off in Cape Horn. This could be construed as "driving to Cape Horn".

The CIA logo used looks nothing like the real CIA logo. This is because the CIA did not authorize the film to use anything looking like its real logo.
Miller describes the Zephyr battery as "the first perpetual energy source since the Sun", however the Sun is not a perpetual energy source. Powered by the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium, the Sun will eventually use up its raw materials and die.
The "eventually use up" is about 5 billion years, long after human life will exist on Earth, so effectively, the sun is a perpetual energy source.

It is practically impossible to drive from North America to South America by car. There is no road that goes all the way to SA, the Pan American Hwy stops in Panama at Darien Gap going south and at Turbo Colombia going north. The Gap is nearly impassible by vehicle.
"Practically impossible" and "nearly impassible" are not absolutes, and it was shown that Roy and June can be quite innovative.

The 727's flight deck has instrument displays seen on modern 737s. The real 727 is an old airplane, with almost no displays. Some modern versions have small digital displays, but not what the film shows. Yes, indeed the flight deck shows modern equipment, but it is definitely a Boeing 727, as can be seen by the fire handles, throttles levers, flap, speed brake and landing gear handles, Flight Engineer's station, and circuit breaker panel locations. The modern equipment only mean that this particular flight deck has been updated with modern EFIS displays.
The 727 parked outside the boarding gate at the beginning of the film has no passenger windows. It is a freight plane.
After June gets off the bus in Boston, leaving Roy on, in one shot, all of the writing on the overhead advertisements are in mirror image.
When June is in the Knight house talking to his parents, she walks past a photo from Roy when he was in high school. It can be seen that it is Tom Cruise's head superimposed onto another body.
Head rests are missing from the town car during the chase and gun battle scene.
During the running of the bulls, Roy makes 2 sharp left turns into the alley and is blocked by the truck. Moments later, the truck drives away, without having loaded or unloaded anything, or any other pedestrian or vehicle traffic to have caused it to stop, revealing that it only stopped there for dramatic effect.
June is told that the 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix has the "longest hood ever made". That is true of the 1970-72 models, but the car pictured is a 1969 model.
When Antonio is yelling in the phone during the car chase, he is saying something in English and yet the audio is in Spanish.
The engine sound of the plane at takeoff is for a prop or turbo-prop, but the plane shown is a jet.
When June and Roy are in the car, June says, "Put some tunes on the radio, mister DJ", yet her mouth clearly is closed when she turns her head during the sentence.
When Roy kidnaps June in the diner, a cameraman is visible in the right corner.
During the gunfight on the highway, a driver agent is killed in Julie's car and one shot from outside the car reflects the camera on its crane.
After the train scene when June is in the hotel room a crew member is visible in the mirror above the bed.
When June is taken to Antonio's home in Seville, Spain, the city is celebrating the festival of San Fermin. Part of that is the famous running of the bulls, which happens in Pamplona, not Seville. Pamplona is in northern Spain; Seville is in southern Spain.
San Fermín (Saint Firmin's day) is not celebrated in Seville. It is a local holiday in Pamplona only.
When bodies are removed from the train at the Austrian station, "Coroner" is on the forensic team's coats. Austria's official language is German, so the coats should say "Leichenbeschauer".
The end of the car chase in Sevilla winds up at a dock where Fritz and Simon are about to get in an airplane. It clearly is filmed at the dock for the Catalina Island Express Cruises in Long Beach, CA with the Queen Mary visible in the background.
Towards the end, a sign on the beach lists the distance in miles to Santiago and Cape Horn. In South America, distances would be listed in kilometers. The distance to Santiago is shown as "1279", implying that they are somewhere near Antofagasta, Chile, a Spanish-speaking country. Therefore, the sign should not say "Cape Horn" (English name), but "Cabo de Hornos" (Spanish name) instead.
(at around 1h 6 mins) June could not have had time to dress up and keep up with Roy, following him out of the hotel.
(at around 12 mins) Roy shoots at the first Captain, but the shot goes through into the cockpit and into the second Captain. Straight away, there is a sound as though the plane is going down, but in the main cabin, everything is perfectly stable.
While on the train, June comments after her phone rings that she cannot answer since that would allow it to be tracked. Cell phones when on are constantly transmitting and receiving radio signals, so it could be tracked as it was depicted.
Roy says they're "in the tropics", and the phone call is tracked to the Azores. The Azores are not in the tropics.
When Roy is flying the plane he issues a mayday call to ATC, he uses the suffix "heavy" with the call-sign of the plane. "Heavy" is given with the call-sign to denote an aircraft with a maximum take off weight above 255,000 lbs which is not true of either the Boeing 727 or Airbus A320.
June, a Massachusetts resident, tells Rodney that Roy rescued her on "the I-93". Identifying numbered highways as "the" is a California colloquialism. A Massachusetts resident would say "I-93" or "93".
As Roy drives away from the diner in the Volvo, he fumbles around for the non-existent column gear shift lever. That model has a console shift lever.
