At the end, when Topper is swordfighting with Saddam on a balcony, he jumps onto the railing and leaps to the floor below. When he hits the floor, he's momentarily concealed by a table in the foreground, then stands up. This is because a stunt double jumps from the balcony, and then Charlie Sheen stands up from behind the table--but after Charlie stands up, you can see the stuntman's foot rise into view as he settles on the pad he landed on. [This is a spoof on the stunt double techniques used in action movies and meant to be seen. Charlie Sheen pops out so far away from the landing that a child would know it was fake. Also, the stuntman is, as you rightly point out, in the scene at the same time as Charlie for a few frames, to accentuate the farce.]

Time

At the beginning, the commando team synchronise their watches to 11:40 p.m. The team leader's watch is shown with the second hand on the 6. The second hand does not move in the couple of seconds it is shown. The same watch is shown a couple of minutes later showing the same time. [Given the nature of the movie (Jokes every second literally) I believe this is a subtle joke that implies they really weren't that coordinated.]

Time

At the beginning, the typed text informs us that a secret plot to rescue hostages not known to exist has been started by the President. How is it that shortly afterwards the news media speaks of the "long-standing" hostage crisis coverage. They just heard about it. [True they have just heard about it, but it is still long-standing because it has been going on for a long time. The press doesn't need to be involved for it to be a long-standing situation.]

Time

In the first shot of the president where he exits the helicopter, the rotor blades have stopped turning and yet the sound of rotors continues. [The pilot is running the engines but has engaged the disconnector - essentially a clutch - which stops the rotors turning. It's a safety feature.]

Time

After Topper has re-encouraged Forbinger, the ammo belt on his M60E3 is almost depleted. However, in the next shot in which he appears, the belt is again at full length. [The whole sequence is a spoof of the Rambo films. This is an intentional joke aimed at the fact that Rambo's ammunition belt never runs out regardless of the millions of bullets he shoots. ]

Time

Topper tosses a grenade at the patrol boat captain, and it lands straight in his mouth. if you look closely, the scene is actually a reverse run of a shot where the man actually spits the greande out, as seen by the way the grenade 'slips' in. [The effect is intentionally visible as the producers wanted it to be blatantly obvious to make fun of the technique used.]
