Note the plain steel wheels, painted silver in the latter shot.

Dr. Phibes kills Dr. Hargreaves at a costume ball by crushing his head inside a frog mask. But one of the plot's main points is that Dr. Phibes is presumed dead following the car crash in Switzerland many years ago. So whose house is the costume ball at? If Phibes is presumed dead by all his friends and colleagues, why would they show up to a party at his house? Or did Phibes simply crash someone else's party, knowing (or hoping) that Dr. Hargreaves would be there?

He parks the car and exactly one minute later the same tractor drives towards him from the middle of town and heads off up the same road it had already travelled.

When Zira is being interrogated, she says that the planet was destroyed in 3953 or something. The interrogator, later tells the President that the Earth was destroyed in 3955.

Yet the planet was blown up in Beneath The Planet of the Apes at the end of the movie. So the timeline is impossible.
