Other mistake: When Chip Hazard's chopper is shot down, he jumps clear before it goes down. But he jumps up, and at the height his leap takes him, he should get his head chopped off by the rotors.
Small Soldiers (1998)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Joe Dante
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Denis Leary, Jay Mohr, David Cross, Gregory Smith, Alexandra Wilson
Audio problem: When the Commando Elite rip out through the clear plastic 'window' of their packaging, the sound made is that of paper ripping - a different sound to what the plastic being punctured would make.
Archer: Alan, friend of Archer, defender of all Gorgonites, Keeper of Encarta.
Alan: "Keeper of Encarta"? You were using my computer? If I find a virus in there you're headed for the microwave.
Trivia: When Brick Bazooka loses his legs to Alan's bike gear, he emits a high-pitched, half-choked scream just before he hits the ground. This is the infamous "Wilhelm scream" and can be heard in several other movies as well: in Star Wars, when Luke shoots a stormtrooper in the shaft-swinging scene; in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when an Elf warrior is thrown off the Helm's Deep wall; and in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, when a Gondor soldier fleeing from Osgiliath is snatched up and dumped by a Nazgul steed. The earliest movie I have heard the scream in so far is the 1954 horror movie 'Them' (when Ben Peterson is killed by a giant ant near the end).
