- Errors in geography: During the movie the teletype text says, "Russian Border -- Turkey" This film takes place during modern time and Turkey does not border Russia but Bulgaria, among other countries.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Many of the scenes showing Agent 47 as a child during training are taken from James Cameron's "Dark Angel". The child playing young 47 is actually Geneva Locke, a girl! She plays young Max, Jessica Alba's character in Dark Angel.
- Continuity: 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.
- Continuity: 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.
- Factual errors: Since the movie is filmed in Bulgaria, many road signs are in Bulgarian, not Russian.
- Continuity: 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.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): 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 mis-spelled 'Istambul'.
- Factual errors: 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.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: 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.
- Crew or equipment visible: 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.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): 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.
- Errors in geography: Interpol headquarters is located in Lyons, France and not in London.
- Continuity: 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.
- Factual errors: Michael Whittier said that a bullet that hit Belicoff was fired 4km away, however, no sniper rifle is capable for such a far shoot, the longest range recorded for sniper kill is merely 2430m.
- Continuity: 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.
- Continuity: 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.
- Errors in geography: 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.
- Errors in geography: 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.
- Revealing mistakes: 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.
- Crew or equipment visible: Opening shot: entering the house, camera crew is visible in the left window just after he puts down his coat.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the female reporter starts to interview Belicoff in St.Petersburg, what she says doesn't match her lips.
- Continuity: The AMT Hardballer(s) 47 brandishes differs through-out the movie. GI-plug instead of Full-length Guide Rod, different types of hammers, 2 different grips, standard/extended safety and slide stop. In the church his weapon is suddenly a totally standard AMT Hardballer.
