Factual error: The bad guys attach over a pound of Semtex to the hull of the First Lady's yacht. When it explodes, the blast shatters the windows in a house a mile away, yet apparently doesn't impact the hull. Even as the vessel burns for 5 minutes, there is no discernible list.
Continuity mistake: Serpentor's snake bites into Duke's chest on his left side. But when the doctor is treating him and he is lying on the ground, the wound is shown on his right side as Lt. Falcon walks up to him. It is back on his left side for the rest of the scene. (01:10:55)
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the film, the soldiers are filling sand bags with mud. Beletsky, whose hands and forearms are covered in wet mud, puts down his sandbag and takes out a photo of his girlfriend. In the next closeup shot of him holding the photo, his hands are suddenly clean and dry. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: Donna hands Taryn the picture of her dad, then rests against the chair, with the album by her chest. A shot later she is leaning forward and the album is in a different position.
Revealing mistake: Once Terri puts on her helmet at the hardware store parking lot, she's replaced by a stuntman in a wig.
Revealing mistake: When Frank Bauggs is falling from the building, he is a very obvious dummy. His body limps around too much. (00:50:45)
Factual error: In the farmhouse bedroom scene, the lead character wakes up and a close up shot of the alarm clock shows it is 5AM. Full sunlight is coming through the window, and an exterior shot shows the sun shining on the house and hay bales. The narrative lead-in just explained that it is early October on a farm near Dallas, Texas. The earliest sunrise occurs near Dallas in October is 6:40AM. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: Rick Latimer is at the bar with his buddies. He spots his ex-wife on a date with the divorce attorney and begins rambling. "This kind of sh. Happens", one of his friends says. The friend next to him, rightmost position, is smoking, and his hand is suddenly raised at the cut. (00:02:45)
Revealing mistake: A bunch of seedy individuals are gathered, weapons in hand. Unbeknownst to them, though, deadly ninjas are creeping by, with all the speed of fast-forwarded footage. The problem, besides how obvious the trick is, is that it also features a visible jump cut; you can see the foliage change position literally from one frame to the other during the same shot. (00:01:30)
Continuity mistake: When the pirates swears the oath to kill Dragon Mao, they drip blood on one of the pirate's hand. The blood stains on his hand differ between the shots. (00:02:50)
