• Errors in geography: The avalanche footage is from a different mountain than the one the Vikings are traveling on.
  
  
• Anachronisms: At the Spring Trade, white Pekin ducks are waddling around. This variety was not developed at that time and was not introduced to the Americas until 1873.
  
  
• Factual errors: Despite persisting belief, not all Vikings wore helmets and those who did had no horns on them.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: At 1:16 into the movie, where Ghost is walking with the Vikings through a camp, an extra on the right side of the screen can be seen hitting his head on a piece of the set, then ducking to walk under it.
  
  
• Anachronisms: In the beginning you see a white horse, but horses were not introduced to the America continent until 16th century when the Spanish conquistadors arrive. Also the horse is not of a breed that would have been used by the Vikings.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Ghost splashes into the water after escaping, the metal shield he was sliding on doesn't sink.
  
  
• Continuity: When Ghost escapes from the Vikings on his first encounter with them, he jumps on a shield and gets hit in the back by an arrow, as he slides down on the shield you can clearly see there's no arrow on his back until in a later shot of the same sequence the arrow gets trimmed by a missed sword-swing from one of the chaser on the "viking snowmobile"
  
  
• Continuity: (At 00:46:28) There is a wide shot of Ghost leaving the tribe after warning them about the Vikings being on their way to kill them all, and he is being followed by the mute character. In the first wide shot of the sequence you see them going right through the middle of the screen, the next shot is a close up of the same shot and you can see a trail in the snow ahead of them made by repeating the same shot. The next shot is made in some bushes but the next shot shows the same original wide shot with the same location but this time they are crossing on the bottom right corner, but you can still see the trail in the snow in the middle of the screen from the previous shot.
  
  
• Continuity: In the beginning of the movie when Ghost's Indian mother first enters the ship her face is clean, then filthy, then clean then filthy again.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the scene where Karl Urban's character leads the whole troop most of the time you can hear a wind blowing like a storm. Yet most of the time the snow falls as it would during a gentle breeze.
  
  
• Continuity: After the cracking ice scene, Karl Urban's character comes out of the water. The next scenes he is dry. Wet clothes don't dry during cold weather.
