• Crew or equipment visible: During a shot of the Himalayan mountains, stagehands can be seen standing and walking about behind the scrim on which the mountains are painted.
  
  
• Continuity: Two similar Christian religious statues are shown in the convent in the film. One is on the floor in the blue room where Dean first meets Sister Clodagh to talk business. It is hidden behind the nuns where they enter to speak to Dean. Another very similar statue, but bearing a cross (possibly St Faith), is shown next to Dean as he converses with Sister Clodagh. It has some packing material (straw) on it (19:02). Later on, this second statue is shown being unpacked from its crate by Dean and a servant to be placed above the doorway leading to the yard (27:27).
  
  
• Factual errors: The Order of the Servants of Mary is a Roman Catholic order of priests, a branch of which is open to lay people. It is also known as the Secular Order of the Servants of Mary (Servite Secular Order). There does not appear to be an order for nuns of that name.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning the bell for the future school and infirmary is rung. As the bell swings forward towards the viewer it partially disappears behind some scenery that depicts landscape which is supposed to be behind the bell.
  
  
• Errors in geography: An Australian kookaburra is heard laughing in a bamboo forest in the Himalayan foothills.
