Character mistake: Scarlett says that since McCullen is from Scotland, he speaks Celtic. Celtic is a group of languages, not a language unto itself (something a genius like Scarlett would most likely know); it would be like saying someone speaks Semitic or Germanic. McCullen would probably speak Scots or Scottish Gaelic, the official languages used in Scotland.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Corrected entry: In Paris, when Ripcord jumps through the train he exits out the window directly across the window he entered. This would be impossible since the train is moving perpendicular to the direction of the jump of the G.I. He should have exited the window to the right of the window entered (farther up from the camera), because the train was moving to the left (towards the camera).

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Corrected entry: After firing the nano-mite missile, Storm Shadow jumps out of the building, falls a couple of stories and catches onto the Cobra ship. However, in the next shot the Cobra ship is at the same floor Storm Shadow jumped out of, and he is just clambering into the ship.
Correction: So where's the mistake? The ship was climbing when Storm Shadow jumped, and it took some time to pull himself up and in. Just because the action sequence skipped ahead to keep the action flowing, rather than grind to a halt while we wait for the ship to climb, does not mean there's a mistake. It's an editing technique called pacing.

Suggested correction: Scarlett certainly took this into account when she suggested the words for Ripcord to speak. Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language so Scarlett was still correct, she was just simplifying for expediency.

No she wasn't correct. There is no such language as "celtic."
