When Alan, Furmat and Tintin are in the ventilation shaft looking at the bad guys, Tintin's necklace/pendant disappears and reappears between shots.

Parker's hair during fight in Bank of London vault.

In the freezer, Onaha's hands are meant to be tied behind her back, like everyone else's, yet she slaps her thighs when Lady P hits the icicle with her shoe.

When the Hood and his men are in the mole, they start an EMP to knock out the security system.

An EMP would also knock out the lights and the rest of the power, but they are still on throughout the movie.

At the beginning, Alan's dad asked him if he was wearing his retainer (showing that it goes in and out).

Later, when Fermat needed to solder, they had to yank his retainer out, like it was cemented in.

In the opening rescue, people at the scene are waiting for the Thunderbirds to arrive, and then Thunderbirds 1 and 2 arrive at the same time.

Thunderbird 1 is much faster than 2 and would have arrived much earlier in order to assess the situation.

Contact is re-established with Thunderbird five seconds before it re-enters the atmosphere, at an altitude of around 100 miles.

Yet seconds later they confirm having established geosynchronous orbit, which requires an altitude of 22,300 miles.

After Thunderbird 5 raises its orbit to avoid re-entry, some of the debris is seen to be still accompanying it when it should have continued into the atmosphere.

Fermat's name is continually mispronounced as "Fur-mat".

The correct pronunciation is "Fair-mah" There seems to be no regard for time zones.

It's mid afternoon in Massachusetts when Alan is picked up from school but obviously night when the oil rig works are dropped off at the hospital in California.

It would also be morning on Tracy Island (somewhere in the south Pacific ocean) when they returned, not dinner time.

Before Tintin uses her powers to flip the catwalk at the Bank of London, Alan is hanging from the middle of the railing.

After the railing flips, Alan is instantly at the edge.

When FAB 1 takes off, Parker has a HUD (Head Up Display) coming down from his hat's visor.

In a later shot piloting FAB 1, the HUD has mysteriously disappeared, only to come back later.

When calculating a course from Tracy Island to London, Thunderbird 2's navigational computer doesn't give the shortest route that should have them crossing the Arctic.

When the Hood is plotting his course to London, he is clearly going to approach from the west, but the first scene of him arriving in London is from the east under Tower bridge (for no apparent reason).

In the next scene in Thunderbird One, Fermat reports that Thunderbird 2 is approaching London and on a map shows it coming from the west, but located around about Heathrow, roughly 15 miles from where we just saw it and in the opposite direction to Tower Bridge.

Scenes of the Thunderbirds entering London show them flying from the East- passing Tower Bridge, then the London Assembly building and so forth.

But maps showing their flightpaths, shots of the landings at the London Eye and shots of them passing over English coast and countryside imply that they're flying from the West.

When Thunderbird 5 was saved, it was seconds from re-entry, suggesting it was less than 100 miles above the Earth, yet seconds later Jeff Tracey reports that geostationary orbit has been re-established, which means they would have to be at an altitude of over 20,000 miles.
