Deliberate mistake: When Dead Reckoning is firing the missiles at the end (towards the crowd that's being eaten by zombies), you can tell that they repeat the same shot of the missile firing three separate times, even though it's supposed to be three different missiles. (It's the shot of the exhaust coming out of the back of the launcher.) They try to mask it by cutting a little earlier or later each time... but it's obvious.
Land of the Dead (2005)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, Simon Baker
Other mistake: When the zombies come out of the river and start marching, look closely. The first zombies to come out wear wet clothes, but the ones in the back are dry.
Kaufman: In a world where the dead are returning to life, the word "trouble" loses much of its meaning.
Trivia: Robert Joy, who plays Charlie, was in Amityville 3-D. When one of the monsters came out of the well in that movie, it blew fire on him and burned half of his face, the same half that was burned in this movie.
Question: At the end, when Riley meets the 'freedom fighters', why aren't they bothered by the zombies who are still walking around, or the defences being completely useless, as the zombies tore the defences down or went through the river?

Answer: Riley feels that they have just the right to be there as the living do. Besides, those zombies survived all the missles and are coming to the city while Riley and the gang are leaving. So why waste the ammunition?
