Factual errors

There is no jury system in Germany, it was abolished in 1924.

Revealing mistakes

Most of the supposedly German jurors obviously aren't native German speakers, as evidenced by their pronunciation of "Nicht schuldig" (especially the 'ch' in 'nicht' is a dead giveaway).
Tibetans wear a wide variety of religious hats, but monks do not wear hooded robes that could conceal one's identity; cowls are worn as part of the Christian monastic tradition. Thus a long-haired blonde woman would not be able to conceal herself at a Himalayan monastery amidst celibate monks with shaved heads without heavily altering her appearance.
A cooler for soft drinks has a banner in red with the wave insignia for a leading soft drink (Coca-Cola) with the words "Soft Drinks" upon it. An opportunity for a lucrative product placement was missed or rejected, but we can all tell what the placement would have been for.

Errors in geography

Tibetan monasteries don't use wax candles. Buddhists in the Himalayan region use lamps filled with clarified yak butter---"butter lamps"---as yaks have traditionally been integral to Tibetan culture and wax was not available. A monastery would have ornate metal lamp offering stands to contain the liquefied yak butter, rather than free-standing candles.
