In the scene where Avner and Steve go looking for Hans in the middle of the night, we see a scene where Hans is sitting on a bench by the water across from a city. First we see the city full of lights but a second later, in the middle of the shot, the lights disappear. [The shot takes place at dawn and the lights go out because the light level in the city reaches a pre-set point, as they would do. The lights going out is fully part of the setting.]
During the shot sequences, Avner his partners are using Beretta pistols model 92. This type of pistol was first produced between 1975 and 1976, so they could not be used in 1973 when the movie took place. [The hostage situation took place in 1972. The rest of the time frame is slightly vague. Most likely it would take years to plan and find the terrorists. That would easily place them into 1975. Given their connections, they could have access to first production Beretta's.]
Short before the assassination attempt with the phosphor-bombs Avner goes to a group of people and says "Entschuldigung, kann ich ein Licht haben?" to light his cigarette. He asks for light like a flashlight or a lamp instead of fire for his cigarette. He should have said "Entschuldigung, haben sie feuer?" which would be the correct translation of "Do you have a light?" in this situation. [He might have messed up being a human error, not a movie error. And also if he's holding a cigerette they could figure out what he meant.]
In the scene where the team executes the hitwoman on the barge, after the woman is shot through the head, there is a shot showing her lying dead in a chair. Disturbing as the scene is, it is still quite easy to notice her chest and stomach rise and fall as she breathes. [There is nothing unusual about that, and a properly trained assassin would know it. Death is inevitable after a massive brain injury (such as a bullet through-and-through like this one) but it can take a victim a minute or two to die. Their heartbeat and breathing will continue, but to all intents and purposes they are dead.]
