Corrected entry: During the Task force tunnel raid, not a single person is wearing hearing protection. Delta Force, nor CIA nor FBI would be running an operation with naked ears. Also a Delta operator gives Emily Blunt a hard time by saying something like "stay in the back, keep your safeties on, don't shoot any of my guys", um, really? She is a SWAT qualified veteran FBI field Agent. I highly doubt a Delta Operator would say something so unprofessional to a Team member.

Correction: It is made clear that he does not respect her, and that her purpose is only to make the task force legitimate. It is not a mistake that he was condescending. Additionally, they may well have been wearing in-ear plugs to protect from the sound of firearms.

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the beginning of the film we see the convoy driving to Ciudad Juárez on the highway. In the reflection of the last car one can see the Russian Arm used to film the vehicles.

Alejandro: Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do, but in the end you will understand.

Trivia: Originally, Alejandro was meant to have much more dialogue, and his tragic origin would have been revealed earlier in the film. Actor Benicio Del Toro and director Denis Villeneuve ended up agreeing that the character worked better as a silent, mysterious type and that the revelation of his origin should occur late in the film. It is estimated that as much as 90% of his dialogue was deleted during rewrites.
