The final shot of the creation facing the rising sun is horizontally flipped.
When Elizabeth is teaching the Creature to say her name, he puts his hand to his throat to feel the sound vibrations. When the camera cuts to a different angle, the hand is nowhere near the throat.
Victor, on a very tight schedule imposed by Harlander, is somehow able to travel to the front lines of the Crimean War (an active war zone) and back to England in a world before air travel.
Force sufficient to rock or push a massive sailing-ship embedded in the arctic ice applied over the few square inches of the creature's hands would surely buckle the iron plates and break the planks of underlying wooden hull.
Frankenstein's truncated human prototype, that he shows off in the operating arena, breathes, exhales, and gasps without any lungs or diaphragm.
After Frankenstein's right leg is blown off he supports himself with a cane always on the left side whereas the body weight should lean on the opposite side.
The cane is properly used on the opposite side of the injury to assist in supporting the weight on the injured leg.

When the creature is thrown off the ship, as he starts to get up from the ice several of his fingers are nothing but bone. When he later punches through the ice after being submerged, as he raises both hands his fingers are intact.
However, as seen on many occasions, the creature is capable of healing itself very quickly. This would include its fingers despite being reduced to bone.

Whilst standing on ice, the creature is shown pushing against the hull of an icebound ship, causing it to break from the ice and almost capsize. No matter the strength of the creature, this is physically impossible: any ice would lack a sufficient coefficient of friction to allow the creature to provide sufficient force to move an icebound ship weighing approximately 3,000 metric tons. Pushing against the ship would simply have caused the creature's feet to slide out from under him.
In 1857, Victor Frankenstein buys dynamite to blow up the Creature. Alfred Nobel did not invent dynamite until 1866, 9 years after the movie was set.
Modern rolled cigarettes have been produced since 1880.
Heinrich Halander smokes such a cigarette on the battlefield in 1856.
When the dynamite stick explodes, the creature's clothes should have been burned or torn to shreds even if he's indestructible..
The creature rocks the massive ship, shattering the ice around the hull, yet a single bullet fired into ice by his feet is sufficient the crack the flow on which he is standing and dump him into the water.
At 2:03:00 when the Creature asks Victor to create a female companion, he reacts with revulsion thinking of what would come next: "procreation, reproduction, a race of devils propagating upon the earth". Victor is a world class surgeon, it would be trivial for him to make a perfectly sterile companion for the Creature.
When the blind man meets the creature, he comments that the creature's hands and face are scarred but he hasn't yet touched the face so he couldn't know that.
Several characters, supposedly local to Edinburgh, never speak with an Edinburgh accent, or even a Scottish one. The most jarring is the executioner, in particular, who delivers lines in a cartoonish, "Dick Van Dyke" style English deep-south accent, which is wildly out of place for someone operating in 19th Century Edinburgh. The real "Common Hangman" at the time this movie is set, was a salaried city employee. John Brown a working-class Edinburgh local.
