When Lin comes up the stairs to say goodbye to William, there is a guard several stairs lower than where Lin stops. At different camera angles, the guard is right near Lin and he changes up and down one stair.
Machinery inside the Great Wall is 'powered' by water wheels, upon which the water splashes prettily rather than forcefully driving them. And even worse, there can be no stream of water flowing above these mechanisms to provide a power source.
The "drone" Tao Tei's eye placement does not conduce to its position in the horde. As a protector and hunter for the queen, it would need the predator's forward facing eyes, rather than side eye placement, to allow for binocular or stereoscopic vision. This would allow the monster to see and judge depth especially during the great-height wall battles against the Nameless Order. Predators need this depth perception to track and pursue prey. Its current design suggests that IT could be the prey.
When William demonstrates his skill with the bow in the great dining room. Then he shoots 2+2+1. But you only see three arrows. One to stop the rotation of the bowl and two that the bowl balances on in the stone pillar.

At 0:01:45 -a horse is shot by an arrow in it's side even though the shooter is riding behind the horse.
The film shows a manned balloon being used to hunt the dragons. The first known aeronautical balloon was flown in France in 1783, nearly 700 years later.
While the Montgolfier balloon was the first in Europe, it is possible that one may have been flown centuries earlier in this fantasy/legend.

It is never explained why the Chinese government didn't deploy their "secret weapon" to defend the wall.
