When the soldiers are leaving the village the 1st time a man runs after the truck screaming to take him with and jumps on the truck. You can see others close to him. However, when the camera angle gives a long shot of the truck and village you can see there is no-one near the truck. See more...
Tony Gardner, special makeup effects artist was under investigation by Arizona State Police and Missing Persons bureau for effects work done on "Three Kings" involving a bullet traveling through a soldier's body. Arizona State Police originally believed that bullets had been fired through a real human cadaver, and filmed with a high speed camera. The Missing Person's division thought that the "cadaver" was obtained by taking a homeless person off of the streets of Phoenix, Arizona. Eventually, Tony had to write a disclaimer describing how he had achieved the sequences with makeup effects technology so that Warner Brothers could hand or fax the disclaimer out to all of the people flooding their offices with inquiries.

Before the sliding milk truck comes to a halt the impression of movement is cleverly created by zooming into truck. If you look at the wheels in the sand in slow motion you see that the truck is not moving. [The rules of the site are clear...if it requires the use of slow motion to be seen, it is not a mistake.]
When Troy Barlow tells the Iraqi that the music he is listening to is, "Very bad for him," the song playing is a "Marky-Mark" song. Marky-Mark was the name Mark Walhberg (Barlow) used when he was a singer in the early 1990s. [The song playing is Party All the Time, by Eddie Murphy.]
SSgt. Chief Elgin a "chief" which is a warrant officer in the Army. However, he is wearing Staff Sergeant rank, which is an enlisted soldier. ["Chief" is his first name. He's listed as Ssgt. Chief Elgin.]
In the scene where George Clooney and the 3 other soldiers practice "a dry run" for pulling up to the bunker, they pull up to a cow and pretend it's a guard. Then the cow steps on a cluster bomb and blows up spraying blood all over the uniforms of the soldiers. However, several scenes later, the uniforms are completely clean except for dirt. This continues for the rest of the movie. There was no time or place for the soldiers to clean their clothes. [After the cow blows up there is blood on their uniforms and it is still there when they arrive in the town. It is just hard to see because the blood is dark red on camouflage and has been dried by the wind from the Humvee drive. A refugee also exclaims something along the line of 'look they are barbarians covered in blood' when they arrive to the town.]
