• Plot holes: In the time and part of the world that the film is set in, racial and ethnic bigotry was overt, with an even greater emphasis placed on one's "purity". Those who were ethnically or racially "impure" were doomed to a life of utter misery and poverty at the very bottom of the social order. In short, there is no way that the film's Yu would have been mustered into the army, much less, become an officer.
  
  
• Factual errors: As the film begins Walter Fane states that he is a bacteriologist. Arriving at the cholera village he explains to the locals that he is an M.D. specializing in control of infectious disease. Those are not the same occupation.
