- Continuity: The spell book in the castle changes position on the table.
- Anachronisms: The band at the pub includes a tuba, which was invented in the 1830s.
- Revealing mistakes: When Jacob flies through the tower window and smashes into the floor, the handle of the “metal” ax in his hand bends.
- Revealing mistakes: When Wilhelm falls out of the the tower, a section of the ground bounces when he lands, showing the crash mat hidden under the leaves.
- Continuity: When the blob of mud is chasing Sasha, the extras in the background appear and disappear several times.
- Revealing mistakes: When Angelika cuts the ropes from Will and Jacob’s feet in the burning forest, the ax never strikes the ropes when they are cut.
- Revealing mistakes: When Jake launches himself toward the tower, the stretch on his trousers and shirt where the wires are attached is visible as he falls.
- Anachronisms: Cavaldi says the brothers sell “the oil of the snake.” Fake remedies were first called “snake oil” in the the 1800s in the American west.
- Factual errors: “Jack and the Beanstalk” was not written by the Brothers Grimm. It’s an old English tale, and not well-known in Germany.
- Anachronisms: When the general drinks wine as the forest burns, the overture to Rossini’s “La Gazza Ladra” (“The Thieving Magpie”) plays. The film opens in 1796, and the scene takes place 15 years later, in 1811. “La Gazza Ladra” was composed in 1817.
- Continuity: When Cavaldi is approached the bed where Will and the twins are sleeping, the twin in Will’s right arm is sleeping on her left side, almost completely on her stomach. In the next frame, when she reacts to presence by looks up at Cavaldi, she is lying flat on her back.
- Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, Will rides a gray Andalusian. When he and Jacob ride into the forest with the trapper, Will rides a fat gray mule. Jacob is on the same horse, with no explanation of why Will changed horses.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the Grimm Brothers reach Karlstadt, they tell the guard they came from “Kassel, near Frankfurt.” Kassel is about 200 km from Frankfurt, while Karlstadt is about 100 km from Frankfurt.
- Continuity: In the forest of Marbaden, when Delatombe’s valet pours his wine, the wine in the carafe is red, but the wine in Delatombe’s glass is white.
- Continuity: When Will and Jacob escape, none of the ladders’ rungs break. Later on, a few rungs have snapped.
- Anachronisms: Brahms’ Lullaby is heard throughout the movie, both in the soundtrack and whistled by the characters. Brahms was born in 1833, decades after the movie takes place.
- Continuity: SPOILER: Sasha loses her face to the goop in the well. When Angelika hands Sasha to the captain, Sasha’s face reappears for a split second. In the next shot, her face is gone.
