In the mental hospital Rachel writes a note from right to left (presumably in Hebrew). The journalist reads the note from left to right.

Rachel is seen to put her sunglasses on twice just before greeting the welcoming party on the airfield.

At the beginning of the movie when Rachel leaves the plane with her two fellow Mossad agents, she has nothing in her hands. A shot from behind then reveals she's holding a beige coloured cardigan in her left hand. This then disappears when she meets the welcoming party.

The actress playing the younger version of Rachel Singer, Jessica Chastain, has a dimpled chin, but the older Singer played by Helen Mirren does not.

The fleet of Barkas B1000 mail vans parked in their depot bear the markings "DDR Post". This is incorrect; the postal service of the German Democratic Republic was always known as the "Deutsche Post".

The depiction of the train station Wollankstraße is completely wrong. The train station Wollankstraße was in fact located in the Soviet sector of Berlin but as the main entrance was located in the west sector it was used as a station for West Berlin operated by East Berlin personnel. So trains did not run through like they did at other transit stations but rather stopped there allowing people to embark or disembark. Also, the train station in the movie has overhead lines, while the real Wollankstraße is an S-Bahn station which uses a third rail, meaning that neither the station nor the trains are correct.

The Barkas B1000 ambulances bear the marking "Krankentransport" as well as a green-on-white cross sign. This is incorrect. Barkas ambulances in the German Democratic Republic were marked with a red-on-white cross and the words "Schnelle Medizinische Hilfe" meaning "Fast Medical Assistance".

The Ukrainian newspaper page that Helen is looking at has been written with many misspellings.

It is only on Rachel's third visit to the fertility doctor (and possibly even later) that he finally asks her if her periods are regular. In fact, asking about menstrual regularity would be among the first questions, if not the very first, that any fertility specialist would ask the patient.

During the break in of the Newspaper offices, Rachel uses a UV torch to highlight four fingerprints on the numeric keypad (1h26m). Assuming it's only a four-digit code (even though a five or six digit could apply) if the code used repeated digits, it would still mean there would be up to 24 permutations to try. But, whilst waiting for the office to close, Rachel watched a staff member use the keypad. The combination of seeing that person's finger movements and using the UV torch allows her, quite credibly, to work out the code.

The newspaper page with Helen's picture contains text absolutely not related to her.

Vogel uses latex gloves when examining Rachel in 1966, but this was not common in medical practice before the 1980s.

The necklace camera Rachel uses to surreptitiously photograph Vogel is impossibly small for a film camera of that time period.

One of the cars shown when the Rachel, Stefan and David are getting off the plane in 1966 is a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88.

The junction box where Stephan listens into the emergency call from Dr. Bernhardt's office is marked "DDR Telekommunikation". The term "Telekommunikation" wasn't in use in German speaking countries before the 1990s.

Returning from its mission, the Israeli squad is welcomed at Atarot air field in 1966. At that time, Atarot was actually in Jordanian hands.

The laundry minivan that services the asylum has the plates belonged to the Kiev region, not the Vinnitsa where the asylum is located.
