- Revealing mistakes: For a split second when Casanova jumps from one building to another you can see the harness.
- Revealing mistakes: When Francesca Bruni jumps from the gallows to the horse, the stunt double is wearing a black wig, but Francesca's hair is auburn brown.
- Factual errors: The "university auditorium" where Casanova first sees Francesca Bruni is not a building in Venice, but the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, a town approx. 45 minutes west of Venice.
- Anachronisms: The flight with the balloon is an (minor) anachronism. The first manned hot air balloon (manufactured by the Montgolfier brothers) made it's first flight in 1783, when Casanova was 58 years old.
- Anachronisms: In one long shot of Venice at sunset, the viewer can clearly see contrails in the sky caused by passing jet planes.
- Anachronisms: Water can be seen flowing from a bilge pump on Paprizzio's sailboat when sailing into the port of Venice.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Francesca Bruni fires Bernardo Guardi through a note which Guardi then reads, "Your services are no longer needed". However, later in the film the inquisitor is informed that Bernardo Guardi cannot read or write.
