Factual errors: There is a soccer game on TV at the start of the film which according to the commentator features Celtic and Manchester United. Although it is Man U playing, the opposing team is clearly not Celtic.
Revealing mistakes: In the aerial view of the tidal wave flooding New York, we can actually see the cars being swept away in the bottom right of the screen even before the wave hit them.
Continuity: When Jack Hall sees the Library, we see no smoke rising from it. There is a fire in the fireplace but there was no smoke in the external shot.

Errors in geography: Relative position and the distance between Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan island.
