Syriana (2005)

Goofs

Syriana

Edit

Continuity

Benett is invited for a ride in a limo with tinted windows. Later on, the windows are clear.
After the missile hits the vehicle with the prince inside, the operator of the missile say "E.T.D. 22:44", but the clock on the wall still says 22:23.
During breakfast at the Woodman household, the level of cereal in Riley's bowl changes between shots.

Factual errors

(at arouns 3 mins) The scene is supposed to be located in Tehran, but on the license plate of Bob's car it is misspelled as Nehran (one dot failing). In Iranian movies and serials, cars have white license plates with all characters in one line, but this license plate is yellow with the text written on two lines. The Arabic numerals 4, 5 and 6 are different from the Persian numerals; this license plate shows an Arabic 4 and 6.

Revealing mistakes

Near the end of the film, a sign for Dubai International Airport, in black writing on a white background, is partially visible on a walkway from the terminal to a waiting plane.

Miscellaneous

When Bryan Woodman is handed the party invitation by his colleague, you could read the party will take place in "Casa Esperanza" (Hope House), Marbella, Spain. Upon his arrival, the Emir, who is the host of the party, calls the house "Casa de las Palmas".

Audio/visual unsynchronised

At the beginning of the movie, when the woman changes her clothes and puts pants on, she also changes from high heels to sneakers. When she walks away, her shoes sound like high heels.

Crew or equipment visible

When the team enters the Hezbollah controlled neighborhood by car, shots from inside the car, through the windshield, show another team shooting the scene on the left side of the road.
When Bob is in the hotel elevator in Beirut with Price Nasir, the camera's lens is reflected in the elevator's mirror edge.

Character error

Early in the film, a news reader with a British accent says "one hundred thirty". They should have said "one hundred and thirty." The "and" is usually omitted in non-British English.
