Suggested correction: And so how is this a mistake? Both weapons existed then. The soldiers could have simple picked the M16's off dead US troops from the war.

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie, Ho is referred to as "Captain Ho", however in the closing credits, his name is "Colonel Ho".

Continuity mistake: When Colonel Yin lays the almost-dead Franklin in front of Braddock's cell outside to pour gasoline on him and set him on fire, Yin lights the fire and you can hear Franklin scream However, you can see that the flames are coming from a few feet in front of Franklin's body.

Continuity mistake: At the onset of the movie, the chopper Braddock and his team are in is shot down over a lake and they have to bail. Each of the five men on board jumps and then their name is listed followed by a "Missing In Action" stamp on the screen. However, if you look closely in the chopper before they all get ready to bail, you will see another guy in the back with a hat on (and it is not Opelka, Franklin, or Nester) who wasn't supposed to be there. It looks a lot like one of the other Americans who was presumably killed in the firefight prior to the chopper arriving to pick up the remaining survivors, taking off and then being shot down.
