Revealing mistakes: As the characters gather for the dinner party, fairly early on in the film, the camera tracks backwards across the dining room. The table has been pushed into the path of the camera by the time it comes into view, but the candlesticks are still shaking severely from the jerking appearance of the table (their shaking lessens as the take continues).
Factual errors: The opening narration declares that "In 1770 Captain Cook discovered Australia". While Cook was the first Englishman to visit Australia, Dutch explorers had navigated the country before him.
