Other mistake: After the main characters are talking in a bar, the camera shows a wire above a street. On the wire, there are 3 pairs of old shoes hanging by the laces. However, a closer look reveals that 2 of the 3 pairs are NOT actual shoes, they are just cardboard cut-outs printed to look like shoes and they have the same graphic. (00:36:25)
Other mistake: Near the very end of the movie, Bush has a college baseball game on between the Texas Longhorns and the Miami Hurricanes. We see a Miami player rounding third and scoring at home plate. But the TV announcer says, "and Texas takes a 2-1 lead." With Miami doing the scoring, Texas can't be taking the lead at that moment.
Other mistake: When Oskar finds the solved Rubik's Cube it cuts to a shot of Eli sleeping, wearing a large shirt/dress. However, this shirt/dress is the same one that she takes from Oskar's mother's closet later on in the movie and therefore, she wouldn't have it yet.
Other mistake: When Lawrence and Janet are on the way to the airport and going through the tunnel, the taxi is on the wrong side of the road. This is apparent when there is a shot of the taxi, because the double yellow lines are on the left side of the screen (passenger side of the vehicle).
Other mistake: In the opening scene, Ben is seen riding his bike over the Mass Ave Bridge from Boston towards Cambridge, at MIT. A few moments later, he is seen coming over another bridge (the John Weeks footbridge) from Boston into Cambridge, at Harvard. There would be no reason for him to ride into Cambridge over the Charles River at MIT and then seconds later be riding into Cambridge over the Charles River at Harvard.
Other mistake: When the Jeep crashes and John gets out, he sits on the ground behind the vehicle and picks up a shard of glass that's supposed to be from the vehicle accident. Given that all the glass on the jeep shows to be intact, the glass couldn't have come from the Jeep as insinuated by the audio and placement of the shard.
Suggested correction: The windshield broke when the Jeep crashed into the tree and the driver was thrown through it. So the glass of the Jeep is not all intact. That being said, the shard John picked up was a long way away from where the windshield broke.
Other mistake: The US Army and civilians are shown being transported around in several CH-46s. CH-46s are US Marine Corps transports. The US Army only operates the much larger CH-47.
Other mistake: When they pull the wooden stake out of the pilot's leg, there is no blood on it. (00:10:45)
Other mistake: During the scene where the German Soldiers mow down an entire village, there are many shots of people crying and whimpering before the shooting begins. One little girl starts out with a sad face but then gives a big smile after looking to her left. (01:54:45)
Other mistake: In the scene of the wedding rehearsal dinner, when everyone is toasting, there are people outside the restaurant's door just standing there looking at how the scene is being shot.
Other mistake: When the guy is playing a computer game in the second scene, he complains to one of his teammates not following orders. He is seen with his hands away from his keyboard, yet his character in the game is moving about. (00:03:00)
Other mistake: When Jas and Georgia are playing netball and talking to each other about how Georgia used Dave to make Robbie jealous, they are on goal attack and goal defence. However, they are only allowed on the first third of the court. However, they are both of the center third of the court, and in a netball game that would call for a foul.
Other mistake: By the moment that Lea discovers and reads the letter, this, with such typewriting, cannot be written by a six year old boy.
Other mistake: In the dinner shootout scene, The Punisher hangs from a chandelier upside down using his legs, and starts shooting people while spinning for about 20 seconds, but there is no apparent force which makes him spin so much in the first place; he doesn't even make a "first turn" with his body in order to start spinning. (00:08:00)
Other mistake: In Traitor, as Don Cheadle is preparing to fight in the Yemeni Jail house towards the beginning of the movie, the camera pans around him and his opponent. In the background, a spectator emerges and bumps his head pretty hard as he comes through the doorway, reminiscent of the storm trooper who bumps his head in Star Wars.
Other mistake: The way Chris finds the phone is impossible: the phone magically slips from under the bed, so it's within Chris's eyesight.
Other mistake: When Chris and Ben are at their construction site talking about Andrea's secret bank account, Ben is making chalk marks on the floor of the construction site while Chris holds a tape measure, however, no chalk marks appear on the ground where Ben is marking them.
