Deliberate mistake: The atmosphere on Mars is only 1% as dense of that as Earth, so 175kph windstorms would feel like a light breeze. They would have very little effect on the astronauts or MAV. The writers of the book and the film were aware of this, it was a small cheat to let the rest of the story unfold.
Deliberate mistake: While Donnie is training at Front Street Gym, when Rocky repeats, "One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time," the closeup of two children watching from outside the ring is a flipped shot, note the backwards Nike swoosh logo and Everlast ring rope spacer. (00:53:05)
Deliberate mistake: The little red-haired girl boards a bus with other children who are headed to summer camp. As the bus drives away, there is nobody in the driver's seat. This movie maintains Charles Schulz's policy of never showing adults in his comic strips or animated television specials, but a bus driver could at least have been depicted in silhouette.
Deliberate mistake: When Quinn is texting the boy next door, he responds too quickly for it to be real. She sends the "So you think I can stop traffic, huh?" text and gets a response within literally two seconds. She then sends the "Did I wake you up?" text and gets two responses within five seconds. Texts usually take several seconds (at least) to be delivered and opened, so even with great service and lightning-fast fingers, this is obviously far too quick.
Deliberate mistake: The snacks in the vending machine were almost to the top of each display shelf, but an interior to exterior view showed the lab researcher's head unobstructed and a foot or so clearance between the snacks and the top of the shelf. (00:06:30)
Deliberate mistake: At about 1:49 in the movie, Glass is awakened by an attacking force of Arikara, and he fires his single-shot, muzzle-loading flintlock pistol at the nearest one coming at him. Then he runs to his nearby horse and flees, turning back to fire the gun a second time immediately. No reloading and no second gun on his person. It never leaves his hand; he's whacking the horse's rump with it to goad it on as soon as he jumps on it. And then he fires that same gun another time in a matter of seconds. (01:40:00)
Deliberate mistake: If the files on the hard drive are encrypted, as stated, they would also be locked against being deleted by a command, and Atlee would not be able to use a phone in close proximity to issue the delete command. He would need a massively powerful magnet or EMP to clear the drive.
Deliberate mistake: In the opening, the kids are looking up at the floor boards. Uniform light seeps through, but as it turns out, the house was small and swarming with an angry mob carrying torch. The light is not really compatible with that scenario, and in fact when the scene is shown later again, the lights are warmer and you can see the torches flickering. It's most likely a trick not to give away exactly what was hunting the kids in the basement. (00:01:00 - 01:11:20)
Deliberate mistake: The wrecker used in this film is a Western Star Model 4964. The manufacturer emblem (a chrome 5-point star superimposed on a large "W") is normally displayed at the top-center of the truck's radiator. Apparently, the film makers could not bring Western Star on board for an advertising agreement, or Western Star specifically objected to their logo appearing in the movie, because the Western Star emblem on the wrecker's radiator is carefully kept out of frame or otherwise obstructed from view throughout the film. For scenes in which a full frontal shot of the wrecker is unavoidable, the Western Star emblem is very deliberately covered up with dark green tape.
