In Ice Cold in Alex as they arrive in Alexandria, there is a 1954 86" Series one Land Rover in clear view, so either a gaff, or it took so long to get there, WW2 is over, and they arrived in the time of National Service!

But SoM is WW2 - by that time, I thought Austria was a separate country! He wasn't old enough surely to have been a captain in 1939ish?

In the Sound of Music, the Von Trapp Family escape the nasty Nazis by going over the mountains, when we visited Salzburg, the tour guide pointed out where it was filmed, and told us that going in that direction led straight to Germany!

In the film of Cinderella, indeed in all tellings of the story, the prince finds her via a glass slipper left behind as she flees just before midnight.
Everything that night, dress, carriage, glass slippers, was created using a magic spell that expires at midnight so how did the left behind glass slipper remain a glass slipper?
Its annoyed me since I saw the film as a kid.

And how is she the only person in the land that just happens to have that size of foot?
And does he arrive when he's supposed to as well?

Would I be able to pick up the plot without seeing Hot Dirty Housewife Nympho and Hot Dirty Housewife Nympho II first?

Mission Impossible, how come they aren't electrocuted on top of a moving TGV? or to put it another way, how does a TGV move at speed without overhead wires?

Amazon women on the Moon was built on inconsistency and plot holes. Great film.

The Fast and the Furious. Where do they get cars with 22 forward gears?

Well to be fair any car chase scene is the same - Bullitt famously.
How about mismatched engine-to-vehicle sounds? In the modern Italian Job the chasers are riding twin cylinder BMWs that sound a lot like inline-4 sports bikes.

Metropolis, set in the far future but e erything seems to be steam powered, except the biplanes.

Waterworld.
Dennis Hopper has his eye put out and doesn't seem to be in even the slightest bit of discomfort.
The planet is underwater yet Jean Tripplehorn still manages to somehow shave her legs.

... In Ayrshire, no less! (Yes it was filmed in South West Scotland).
To be fair, at the time, Eurostar was using it's dual voltage capacity and ran through the South Of England on the 750v DC 3rd rail as far as the tunnel. Full 25Kv AC OHLE only came later with HS1.
I think they took a piece of artistic licence on that one.
Still, hardly particularly realistic, seeing as it was a TGV, not a Eurostar (despite E* technically being a TGV)
