Goofs

The foot responsible for tripping Ali when running down the street changes from the right to the left foot between cuts.

Ali's first assignment is to assault a police officer. During this, the cop's hat falls to the ground, and the position of the hat changes between cuts.

Early on when a man is being escorted to the guillotine in an Algiers prison, there is a cut from a long shot of the courtyard to a closeup, and two men wearing suits suddenly appear by the guillotine, even though there is no door nearby through which they could have emerged.

In the final scenes, showing the mass street protests, the French police are backed up by armored vehicles that are Soviet-made SU-100 tank destroyers. These were part of the Algerian military when the film was made in 1966 after independence, but would not have been present or used by the French at any time.

(at around 38 mins) After the Arab section of town is bombed, people are cleaning up the area. One man has a pick that he is using on the ground in front of the rubble. However, the action has no apparent purpose. There is no reason to be digging a hole; there is nothing below the ground.

The man appears to be using the pick to move or break up larger stones that are blocking access to a part of the collapsed building that may have been his home or may have trapped survivors. Also, in a calamity such as this, one does not always think or act logically.

(at around 41 mins) Fathia is looking at her hair in the mirror. However, she is looking into the mirror at an angle so the viewer can see both her and her image at the same time. She would not be able to see herself at that angle.

Actually, the viewer does not see Fathia's reflection (except her elbow occasionally appears. The image in the mirror is of the woman standing to Fathia's right. (Watch the towels in the mirror to get the proper perspective.)

One of the Arab workers is recorded after being "interrogated". The English Subtitle says that he states his last name as Smain (first name Ahmed). When his name is put onto the chain of command board, it is written as Ahmed Said. Later his sister is looking for him asking if anyone has seen "Said" per the English sub-titles.

Per IMDb Guideline, subtitles have nothing to do with the filmmaker, so their errors are "Unacceptable Goofs".

After the French officer is shot by his car, as he is being carried away, the actor is holding his head up. Normally his head would fall back when carried so soon after death.

(at around 1 min) When the policeman is taking away the child beaten by the peat, there is a woman grinning at the sight.

When Ali is first in jail, the shadow from the cell's bars appear on his face during closeups. During longer distance shots, there are no shadows.

When the French officer is shot from behind at an outdoor cafe, there are no bullet holes or blood in his uniform after he is shot.

When the French guard is shot and killed next to his car while searching for his car keys, there are no bullets holes or blood on his uniform after he is shot.

The rebels plant bombs in three locations in 1956. At one of the locations, the song "Rebecca" by Chakachas is playing on the jukebox. The song wasn't released until 1959.

There are numerous incidences of actors moving their lips without sound throughout the film. For example, when Ali enters the brothel and the Madame comes down the stairs, she is talking, but there is no audio. Another example is when the child comes looking for Ali on the steps, as he moves away, he is speaking, but there is no further audio.
