Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Starring: Vivica A. Fox, Joey King, Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when the mothership takes off the central saucer section is in place, yet we saw the queen alien fly off in it earlier on.
David Levinson: I've had years to get us ready. We never had a chance.
President Whitmore: We didn't last time, either.
Trivia: Brent Spiner performed the majority of his scenes alone, with no other principal actors on the set. In fact, Spiner is digitally inserted into some scenes where he appears with other principal actors.
Question: How did Patricia hit The Harvester Queen's shield?
Answer: This has always puzzled me about this film...the shields on the alien ships at times seem absolutely useless compared to the first film. I know that mankind had incorporated alien tech into its own but in 20 years you'd think the alien tech on ALL its vessels would be practically impenetrable...but when it suits the plot it's suddenly weak.
Upon entering an alien craft one of the characters even remarks that their technology has not advanced at all. And presumably there are different types of shield generators that react differently to different kinds of weapons that are fired at them.

Answer: It appears she hit it enough times that it got too damaged to stay on.
