The Old Guard

Continuity mistake: Spoiler alert! At 20:54 Nile gets her throat sliced and it's on her left side, when she wakes up the bandage is in the centre of her throat. (00:20:54 - 00:22:35)

Suggested correction: You can see the majority of the cut is in the center of her throat. When her head was turned, her neck wasn't, so he didn't get much of the left side of her neck, but the bandage wraps around enough to cover the left side of her neck that did get cut.

Continuity mistake: When driving the silver Audi A6 the first time, the version they are driving is a diesel, seen by the exhaust pipes facing down towards the ground with a bend. In the next shot they are driving the petrol version of the same A6, seen by the exhaust pipes holes facing directly out from the car. (01:18:33)

Continuity mistake: After the initial attack on the church we seek camera shots of the interior as if Copley has access to CCTV images of the interior (rather than helmet cams), but Copley does not see anything that happens in the room again. The last soldier killed at the church gives a signal to the soldier behind him, but there is nobody following him.

Mistakes

Plot hole: Nile checks the gun Andy gave her and realises it's empty, which in turn leads her to realise that Booker was setting them up, because he gave that gun to Andy in the first place. No way that Nile, a marine, and Andy, a timeless warrior, somehow both missed the noticeable difference in weight between a fully loaded pistol and an empty one.

Suggested correction: That is only true if you handle the same gun all the time. Throughout the movie they shoot dozens of different guns, all with their own loaded/unloaded weights. Different guns are also made of different materials, and mixture of materials, which would change the weight. Different guns are also balanced differently, depending on the materials and manufacturer. The weight difference in a lot of the guns they were carrying between loaded and unloaded were between 3.5oz-7oz (which is not that much). With all the different guns they use and carry throughout the film, it is not a mistake that they wouldn't catch it. Also, Nile is used to carrying an M16 or M4, not the handgun used in the film so she would have no way to know the loaded vs unloaded weight. They would also not expect someone in their team to betray them, so there's no need to check the weapons (although you should check any gun that is handed to you).

Questions

Question: Booker gets in touch with Copley because he wants to hand over the whole team for research? If one was enough, he would have volunteered alone. If just two, he would have handed in only Andy and himself, so he needed the whole team? Why not negotiate another way of surrendering the team? Why take them to the first ambush? He could have also betrayed the team there, like he did with Andy at Copley's house. Why does Booker search for Copley later if they're in cahoots? Is there no other way of communicating?
