Goofs:

Factual Mistake
Despite the careful costuming, including vintage clothing, Gaby can be seen wearing a pair of 2015 Russell & Bromley sandals at one point.

Character Error
When Illya puts the engagement ring on the finger of Gaby, he puts it on the left hand. Russians wear engagement and wedding rings on the right hand.

Continuity
Solo's case officer says that Waverly is with British Naval Intelligence, but the end credits say he was with the F branch of MI-5.

Crew/Equipment Visible
In the retro torture room the swinging light is an incandescent bulb but with a LED inside the bulb producing the light. The faux incandescent filament can be seen, but it's not used.

Crew/Equipment Visible
About halfway through, when Gaby comes out of the hotel to meet Ilya, the car they're getting into has a camera on the roof, facing the sidewalk.

Factual Mistake
When Illya is being shown all the information on Solo via the projector, one of the newspaper clippings uses the font Myriad Pro. This font was first released to the world by Adobe in 2000, not the 50s or earlier, as suggested.

Factual Mistake
The Land Rover used in the cross country chase scene was from the late 60s (if not later). It had head lamps on the wheel arches and that change only occurred in 1968.

Factual Mistake
The vehicle that was used in east Berlin is Trabant 601s, which has two stroke, air cooled engine and does not sound like the one in the movie.
