Continuity mistake: During the final fight between Cain and Todd, Todd breaks Cain's arm at the elbow and wrist. In the next shot Cain is staggering backwards as Todd winds up for another blow. You can clearly see that Cain's arm is fine and resting comfortably at his side. (01:24:13)

Character mistake: After killing three of the 'new' soldiers, Todd says that there are seventeen left. He then kills about another thirty.

Continuity mistake: When the green snake slithers towards the boy, Todd throws a boot at the boys feet so the boy can hit the snake with it. The boy looks at Todd who motions the boy to hit it. The next shot shows the boys feet again, but no boot.

Continuity mistake: When Todd first encounters the humans on the waste disposal planet he falls down some stairs. He coughs up blood which is visible on his hand and on the ground. It cuts away from Todd and when it cuts back there is no blood at all.

Revealing mistake: When Todd is hitting the metal punchbag the first time, during the slow mo part you can see it flex as if it is made of rubber.

Other mistake: When Cain's eye is damaged in the fight the officer says he will only be good for cannon fodder, with no depth perception. So how can he be driving an armoured vehicle?

Suggested correction: He has been given a replacement eye, which takes care of the problem. He's just angry because Caine 607 didn't win perfectly and showed weakness by being out thought.

Continuity mistake: During the endurance test, Cain's running speed changes from around the same as Todd to much faster in the next shot.

Colonel Mekum: A growl? He heard a growl?
Rubrick: Well, he didn't say the word "growl." He said "a throat noise." But I asked him to imitate it and it sounded like... a growl to me.

Trivia: When the veterans are shown leaving the ship to go and set up an outpost on Arcadia, in the foreground you can see a nameplate on some debris. It says "Lewis", from the Lewis and Clark ship in Event Horizon, another Paul WS Anderson movie.
