Corrected entry: The baddie makes a big point of saying that Ahab (the chemical submarine) is solar powered and only needs to surface to draw power from the sun. If it's only just finished being built in a concealed hanger inside a cliff, how can they expect it to travel round the world shooting missiles at cities when it's never seen the sun?

Correction: Notice that the hanger where AHAB is kept is lit? Well solar powered doesn't just mean the sun, artificial light can also be used, plus they don't say how much solar power it requires, it could also already have other power sources to 'boot it up'

Corrected entry: Remember the scene just after X jumped from the bridge? The cameras were attached to the car with metal wires, so they couldn't fall out, but just after X landed he asked "Did you get the cameras?" and you see that they did. How could they possibly have cameras that were professionally attached to the Corvete? Even if they were bulletproof and explosion proof, they couldn't take them off the exploding car...

Correction: My interpretation would be that he means did you get the footage from the cameras - it's likely they'd be broadcasting the signal elsewhere, rather than recording it within the camera.

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film they resolve they must destroy the submarine and hence all of Prague to save the world - Why oh why does Samuel L. Jackson, and all the other executives, drive to the middle of the soon to be destroyed city? It seems a waste that such important people would be willing to die for no good reason, especially considering they had 30 minutes to get away and weren't even aware at first that Xander was actually on the sub. (01:49:45)

Correction: The weapon is supposed to be more powerful than a nuclear weapon. Thirty minutes to get out of the area wouldn't be enough to be safely out of the area. They are militarily trained and go to downtown in hopes of discovering some way to neutralize or destroy the sub. It's a pretty cowardly military person who would save their own skin before doing everything they can to protect civilians.

I don't agree with the correction. Thirty minutes would be plenty, with the kind of resources Gibbons has, since he has plenty of planes at his disposal, but more than that; the bad guys earlier detonate one of those rockets inside their own basement and cackle madly at death being unleashed through a security glass door. All it takes for Gibbons, or anyone really, to be 'safe' from that is lock yourself up somewhere, probably even your car with air recycling on and get the hell out of there. It seems awfully uncharacteristic of Gibbons and the other top brass to just stand there on the bridge (with no hazmat suits or anything, and they knew well in advance the nature of the weapon) and be cheerleaders. The entry should be at least a Stupidity (although then #320720 becomes a Duplicate entry).

Revealing mistake: The Senator's Corvette explodes before it hits the ground. (00:09:10)

Question: This is regarding the scene where Xander is telling Shaver he wants "All of that, in here" referring to a vast array of weapons to go into the GTO. Where/How in the world did Xander gain access to "all of that"?

Answer: Xander and Shaver were back at the compound where they first met. The one where Xander finds out that Shaver is responsible for making the gun and darts that were used to knock him out. In that scene Shaver shows Xander some of the cool stuff that he had made, and Xander uses a few items later in the movie.
