• Erreurs faites par les personnages (éventuellement des erreurs délibérées par les cinéastes): Frank mispronounces "espresso" as "expresso" - extremely unlikely for an Italiophile.
  
  
• Révélant des erreurs: During the "Tango Scene" the first time the piano is heard striking hard chords, one can see the piano in the background, but no one is at the piano.
  
  
• Erreurs factuelles: Several times during the movie, Slade handles what is supposed to be his U.S. Army issue M1911A1 .45 caliber pistol. But the pistol has a bright blued finish, white highlighted sights, and wood grips with a medallion. These features identify it as a civilian copy of the M1911A1.
  
  
• Continuité: Lt Col Slade sternly warns Charlie not to refer to his .45 pistol as a "gun", but rather to call it a "weapon" or "piece" in accordance with military custom. But later in the movie, Slade himself refers to the pistol as a gun.
  
  
• Erreurs factuelles: Twice during the hotel room scenes, Slade waves his pistol around with the hammer cocked while talking to Charlie. A real Army officer would never do this, since such action violates basic handgun safety practices.
  
  
• Erreurs factuelles: While Slade is explaining to Charlie the proper way to perform the military salute, he says the right hand should be positioned "at the hairline." Doing this would result in a ridiculous-looking salute. The proper position for the hand is adjacent to or just above the right eye. Additionally, in a proper salute the arm is raised and lowered in a fluid motion. The right arm is never "snapped" to or from the right eye as the salute is rendered. Finally, the outside of right hand is always canted towards the individual receiving the salute, in accordance with Army custom. Slade does not cant his hand properly when he salutes Charlie.

• élément de l'intrigue manquant: While Slade is test driving the Ferrari with Charlie, he makes several successful high-speed turns in downtown New York City. In reality, such maneuvers would be impossible for a blind man to perform without crashing, even with someone like Charlie coaching him.
  
  
• élément de l'intrigue manquant: It would be highly unlikely that Headmaster Trask would need to rely on witness testimony to find out who was responsible for the paint-balloon gag. The room containing the microphone to the loud speaker would be someone's responsibility. That would be a much faster way to get to the culprit(s). Additionally, a smart man like Headmaster Trask could have deduced that since Mr. Havermeyer made a seemingly backhanded remark about the Jaguar only one day prior to the incident, he would be likely to have something to do with it.
  
  
• Continuité: In the scene where Slade directs Charlie to get his dress blues from his closet, there is no Silver Star ribbon on the jacket. In all the later scenes with the dress blues there is a Silver Star ribbon.
  
  
• Continuité: During the driving scene, a left turn is made and a the rear of the car begins to drift. Application of counter steer (to the right) can be observed from the external shot, and then on the next camera angle from the inside of the vehicle, Al Pacino's character is seen recovering the steering wheel from the left.
  
  
• Erreurs factuelles: Colonel Slade believes that Jack Daniel's proper name was John. It was, in fact, Jasper.
