The deciphered message does not match up with the original code; there are not enough characters in the original.

During a fight, Clive and his opponent knock a lamp off a table and fight to the other side of the room. When the fight moves back in view of the table, the lamp is back atop the table.

Throughout Tab Hunter's scenes, his deck shoes continually disappear and reappear.

When the bad guys first find the skeleton, its arm is stretched straight out. Next they are shown in closeup and the elbow is bent so the hand hangs almost straight down. Neither position is exactly the way it was when Clive found it, or left it. That makes four different positions of the hand.

The bad guys don't dig in the same place where Clive Stone buried the dynamite plunger.

The buried dynamite plunger could not have set off the charges and dynamite. It needs unimpeded travel from the top of the plunger all the way to the bottom, with a forceful push, in order to spin the internal generator enough to make enough of a current to trigger the blasting caps.

The skeleton's finger was supposedly held in place by an iron ring fastened to the rocks beneath, to point to the treasure. But when Clive Stone (Tab Hunter) moves it, the ring is actually attached to the finger and not the rocks.

A skeleton of a dead human propped up on the side of a rocky outcrop, in the open air, would not still be all together after two-hundred years. The connective tissues would have rotted away allowing the bones to fall, scatter and perhaps be carried off by scavengers.

Even though Clive Stone was marooned for an entire year, his trousers are only a little dirty and in like-new condition with no tears or tatters.

Matches suddenly appear when they are needed to set off the dynamite fuses, even though both Clive and Jamesina had nothing else on them, especially after swimming.
