The Delta Force corrections

When the Delta Force lands on a beach, prior to their assault, their landing craft is lit up like a christmas tree. The commandos wear dark uniforms and have blackened their faces, but they also carry bright white ropes around their chests. Some of them are scuba-divers, wearing yellow oxygen-tanks. In short, in the real world they would have been spotted within minutes. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

At the very beginning of the movie Chuck Norris asks Steve James where his friend is and Steve tells him that he is stuck in the helicopter but the flames are too high for anyone to reach him. When Chuck enters the back of the helicopter there are not a lot of flames between him and his friend, certainly not enough to stop anyone from reaching him. [It wasn't so much that the flames were that high or bad, but Steve mentioned that they were near fuel lines, and there was now the risk the helicopter could blow up at anytime.]

Just after the hijacking, the camera takes three different shots of Washington, DC, buildings. It takes shots of the Capitol, the White House, and the Pentagon. The Capitol shot has a time stamp of 2:10 AM, yet the sky looks like it to be about mid-afternoon. The next shot is of the White House. The sky is pitch black. The next shot is of The Pentagon with the time stamp of 2:15 AM. The sun is shining on the side of the building as if it were around 8 o'clock in the morning. [The times shown in the time stamps are all "zulu" time, which incase you didn't know is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is 5 hours ahead of Eastern US time, the time that is used in Washinton D.C.]

In the scene where the hi-jackers announce their intentions, all overhead compartments are wide open with no visible doors. [The plane was a Boeing 707, which did not have doors to close the overhead bins. There is no mistake.]

The captain had plenty of time to signal the hijacking on the control panel yet he waits until after the hijacker enters the cockpit to hit the switch which attracts the hijacker's attention. [The Captain of an airliner would not know that the his plane has been hijacked until the hijacker himself made his presence known inside the cockpit. As to pushing the hijack button after he has been told to make a course correction, this has been standard procedure since hijacking started to become common. If he pushed the button as soon as the hijacker entered to cockpit, the hijacker might have panicked and shot the pilot.]
