When Jesus emerges from the water after being baptized by John and walks off, his clothes are completely dry.
The movie is remiss in missing Jesus' first miracle, according to the Holy Bible: Turning the water into wine.
It had been factually proven by 1977 that, during crucifixions, nails were never driven through the wrists; however, during this crucifixion scene, rather small, thumbtack-like nails were driven into the palms.
This is a common error employed far too often by biblical filmmakers, stretching even into films produced in the 2010s.

Just before Jesus arrives at the place of the crucifixion, we see at the background that one bandit is already on the cross. The other (the one on the left of Jesus) while been lifted to the cross he is discretely but clearly bending his foot giving a thrust in order to take his place on the cross, a move that a condemned to die criminal would never willingly do.
After Jesus is supposedly flogged, he first hangs from the post by one arm, where it becomes clear his skin is not harmed at all. A Roman flogging would have left significant and terrible damage, yet there is no blood, there are no injuries. This is further clearly seen when the soldiers put the cape around him.
The boys who torment Mary Magdalene inflate either a pig or goat bladder and throw it on the fire to pop. An early version of a balloon.
As Jesus lies in agony at the end you can see all the fillings in his teeth, as well as the woman's just after he is nailed on the cross, when she opens her mouth in lament.
There is no explanation as to why Jesus wasn't taken to King Herod the Great (Luke 23), despite the fact that Herod Antipas is one of the main characters.
