Continuity mistake: In the opening battle sequence, Cobra Commander takes a bomb and sets it for 3:00 minutes. As he flies with his jet pack to the Statue of Liberty, it counts down to 2:58.

Then when the camera cuts back to a side view there is loads of rubbish and popcorn all over the place once again.
