Goofs
During the ceremony in Ecuador, while the village elder is giving a toast to Jason, the positions of the two women with painted faces change from one shot to the next.
Share this
When Jason sits on the bench in the park, you see the shade of the bench on the left of him. After the wanderer speaks to him and the camera goes back to Jason you don't see the shade of that bench.
Share this
(at around 23 mins) Jason has been talking to Mr. Hamilton when Mr. Hamilton turns away and leaves. Jason looks to Miss Hastings to ask where Mr. Hamilton is going. Jason looks right of Hamilton, but Miss Hastings is left of Hamilton, meaning Jason has asked his question to an empty chair and a blank wall.
