During the movie the teletype text says, "Russian Border - Turkey" This film takes place during modern times and Turkey does not border Russia but Bulgaria, among other countries.
They could be referring to the Azerbaijan-Turkey border, as Azerbaijan is a member of the CIS, sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as "Russia", especially by Americans, but this would still be inaccurate.
Near the end of the film, when Interpol Inspector Michael Whittier is sitting in the ambulance, his shirt is open, he then is shown to be buttoning it closed, but in the next shot (from far away) his shirt is still completely open.
In the next shot, from up close as he stands his shirt is completely buttoned closed again.
With the Interpol agents coming down from the private plane, you can hear the engines powering down but when you look at the jet turbines, you don't see them moving at all.
Since the movie is filmed in Bulgaria, many road signs are in Bulgarian, not Russian.
Throughout the first few scenes Nika is in, her makeup is smeared.
After 47 lets her out of the trunk and gives her breakfast sandwich, her makeup is suddenly flawless, and she has much less on.
In the scene in the hotel room in Russia, when Nika gets up and stands on the balcony, Agent 47 is reading through papers on his target.
In them Istanbul is spelt 'Istambul'.
However, the name of "Istambul" is still used among many European countries.
Like many other movies portraying Interpol agents many mistakes are made concerning how Interpol works and operates.
For example Interpol officers do not directly conduct inquiries in member countries and Interpol's constitution forbids its involvement in several types of crimes, such as political ones.
When Agent 47 and Nika are in the car while she's eating her sandwich, 47 says, "Back at the station, you interfered".
The "you interfered" doesn't match up with what he's saying.
At 48:45 a wire or cable can be seen under the opposite side of the detective's car as he stands outside speaking with the Russian police.
Whittier states that the passage on the cross from 47's luggage is from Psalms.
It is actually a shortened version of Proverbs 3:5-6.
When the Interpol agents storm the Arch Bishop's chamber (after 47 kills Belicoff), they are shown with Israeli gas masks that are supposed to have a filter chamber on the mouth.
Interpol headquarters is located in Lyons, France and not in London.
During the scene where 47 shoots the two bodyguards in the bathroom, he shoots the fat bodyguard once, though two bullet holes can easily be seen - one on each shoulder blade.
After Agent 47 finishes talking to Nika in the car, the scene cuts to the car from the rear driving away.
The Audi that is driving away is an RS4 Cabriolet.
It is the same car Agent 47 uses while going to the Palace of Udre but not the car which he stole from Belicoff's man.
That was an Audi S5.
When 47 and Nika return from the restaurant, there is no chest at the bottom of the bed, however when 47 returns from Udre's club, he throws his gloves down onto a chest at the bottom of the bed.
On the northern hemisphere (Istanbul), when the sun is rising, it should travel from left to right and can be seen on the southern sky.
It seems that the rising sun in Istanbul-shot is filmed in the southern hemisphere.
President Belicoff speaks to a reporter in a middle of a large demonstration of protesters, supposedly in Russia.
But the sign on the building is in Bulgarian - "Ivan Vazov National Theatre", which is, in fact, located in Sofia, Bulgaria.
While Agent 47 is fighting under the train, during one of his punches you can clearly see it's not Agent 47, but rather the Assassin who was shot earlier.
Opening shotentering the house, camera crew is visible in the left window just after he puts down his coat.
When the female reporter starts to interview Belicoff in St.
Petersburg, what she says doesn't match her lips.
On the back patches of FSB uniforms, the Cyrillic letter "S" (C) is flipped left-to-right.
When Agent 47 gets a call on his cell when he's at the train station, the date on the cell is 10/5/07.
At the end of the movie, when Smith gets the text message on his cell from Agent 47 saying they're even, Smith's cell phone shows the date 8/15/07.
The train station is supposed to be in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The signs in the tunnels of the train station say it is in Moscow.
When Nika and Agent 47 are in the car and she's eating a sandwich, a moment later you see Nika and on the closeup on her face you see a blond hair sticking out of the right side of her mouth (was she eating a hairy sandwich?).
The camera changes to Agent 47 and then back to Nika and the hair's gone.
In the train fight scene, after Agent 47 kicks the other blade wielding agent out of the train window.
Agent 47 removes the (very bloody) blades he had already used, from the other dead agents.
However after he gets down, below train level, to begin fighting once again, the blades appear clean.
When Agent 47 first leaves St.
Petersburg for Moscow, the cut scene where "Moscow - Russia" is displayed on the screen is showing an image of the Kazan Cathedral, located in St.
Petersburg.
The interpol agents and St.
Petersburg police discuss intercepting Agent 47 at the St.
Petersburg Station.
However there is no St.
Petersburg train station in St.
Petersburg.
The train station shown on the map is the Moscow Station, located in Revolution Square whereas the Leningrad (the former name for St.
Petersburg) station is located in Moscow.
This is because in Russia, train stations are named after the main destination they serve (there is also a Kiev station in Moscow for example).
They were designed by the same architect.
When the interpol agent chases Agent 47 down the hallway of his hotel, he escapes by jumping through a window and dropping straight down into the canal below - however this is not possible in St.
Petersburg.
The canals do not run alongside buildings.
The way the actual city is set up, alongside each channel of the canal is a sidewalk, then a street, then a wider sidewalk alongside the buildings.
He would have had to jump nearly ten meters to make the water.
When Belicoff enters the cathedral, some Russian soldiers present at the ceremony are wearing old-fashioned helmets.
They are Eastern German helmets however, not Russian ones.
The light switch in Whittier's house (which is supposed to be in London), is a broad continental Europe style switch, instead of the smaller thinner switches you find for British lights.
This indicates that the scene was filmed somewhere else.
While pretending a Russian officer 47 has 5 stars on his shoulder strap.
There are no such ranks with 5 stars in Russian Army.
When 47 first interrogates Nika, it appears that the tattoo on her face switches sides during the scene.
This is because the camera is viewing the characters directly in some shots and views them indirectly in other shots using the large mirror present in the room.
While Agent 47 is posed as arms dealer Price, Udre Belicoff showcases several weapons.
When he picks up the assault rifle, he describes it as an M203 with under-barrel grenade launcher.
This is actually an M16 rifle, with M203 grenade launcher attachment.
He also suggests that the rifle shoots 7.
62 mm ammunition, when in fact the M16 shoots 5.
This is shown to be deliberate when 47 calls Udre out, saying "you've been wrong about most of these.
" Agent 47 tells "Diana" that Belicoff took a bullet through the nasal cavity when Belicoff is actually shot through the forehead.
At one point, Agent Jenkins informs Agent Whittier that Udre Belicoff was found dead "3 hours ago.
" A minute later, a television broadcast states that Mikhail Belicoff will "attend the funeral of his brother Udre, who died two days ago.
" The highest dome of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia is not the bishops office as depicted in the movie but simply part of the church's ceiling.
The interior shot of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in which Belicoff delivers a eulogy for Udre was not actually taken inside the cathedral.
The hall shown is much smaller and pillars can be seen that do not appear inside the real cathedral.
In some scenes you can see Nika's tattoo changing sides from her left cheek to the right cheek.
It happens e.
when she is first shown in the safe house after she was moved there by 47 from her apartment.
When Agent 47 kills Udre Bellicoff, he has blood splatters on the collar of his white shirt.
In the next scene, when he returns to the hotel and sits on the bed, there is no blood visible on his clothing.
