The casino's stage appears much smaller than the stage on which the revue is performed.
At the end of the first show, "Queen of the Night," we see Karima standing at the edge of the stage while the servants put wine bottles by the edge. In the next front shot, however, Karima is standing on the stage with a large space in front of her, not at the edge, and there are no bottles; the stage is different.
The sound is not synchronized with the mouth movements in many shots.
When Karima talks about the good people after getting out of her prison predicament, she is looking toward the side of the screen, but in the next, closer shot she is looking straight ahead.
When two customers in the hall get into a fight, One of Them punches The Other One with his fist, but we notice two mistakes: 1) the blow is clearly away from the victim's face; 2) the sound of the fist is the sound of a slap, not a punch.
