Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (revealing mistake): While the Lebanese security chase after Saul (in about 9:07) there's a green sign of garage, the letters on the sign in Hebrew "shnap" , which is not the favorite language in Beirut. The shooting by the way was in Jaffa, Israel.

  • Goof (errors in geography): When Carrie is taken to the safe house in Nicosia, Cyprus, a view is shown of a home overlooking the sea. However, the sea is not visible from Nicosia.
  • Goof (factual errors): Brody is told that the reporter who turns out to be an Abu Nazir contact is "down the hall in the Senator's office". Senators and Representatives do not have offices in the same buildings.
