Plot hole: Alain joins the Legion, goes through extensive training and eventually gets his photograph taken. That's how Galgani recognises him and sends two men to kill him. They arrive with a platoon at the fort just after Alain, Mackintosh and Luther. The photograph would have taken a while to get back to France and then the two men would have to go through the same training. So how do they both end up in the same fortress after they joined the legion long after Alain?
Continuity: During the ambush at the waterhole, the Arabs steal the Legionnaires' supplies by leading away the donkeys upon which the supplies were mounted. Why didn't the Legionnaires shoot the donkeys? Without them to carry the supplies the Arabs wouldn't have been able to take all before they withdrew.
Continuity: At the end of the film Alain (Van Damme) picks up a heavy machine gun and goes roaming about the ruins of the destroyed Legionnaire fortress. During one shot you see him opening fire on a group of Arab horsemen below. Strange thing that he never hit a single one of them at such close range! And even stranger, why didn't the Arabs return fire and kill him? He was a sitting duck out there on high ground.
Continuity: At the end of the film when the mortally wounded Macintosh shoots Galgani's henchman dead, he draws back the bolt of his rifle, ejecting the spent shell. A minute later when Alain (Van Damme) throws him a bullet to kill himself with, his rifle bolt is magically down in place again; he has to draw it back a second time to place the bullet in.
