Mistake Continuity: When Enders gets shot numerous times at the end, he lies in a crater left from a shell. He begins to cough up blood, and it drips down the left side (as we look at it) of his mouth and chin. The view then switches to one behind him, facing Ben. There is no blood around his mouth or dripping down his chin. The view then changes back to the original one, and the blood's there again.

Mistake Continuity: A group of soldiers approaches a minefield and one of them falls with his back on a mine. The explosion throws him in the air and you can see his uninjured back. Not even his shirt got a scratch.

Mistake Factual error: The movie is set in 1944, when there were only 48 states, yet we see many American flags with 50 stars, then 48, then back to 50 throughout the film.

Mistake Factual error: Just an observation here: Do you ever notice how the wound/kill radius on a lot of the heavy artillery explosions is like 1-2 feet. In one explosion (usually against the Japanese), the artillery does massive damage, i.e. takes out an entire bunker, but another round will land almost right next to guy and it does virtually nothing. I also wonder where all the shrapnel is, almost all the explosions in this movie create a lot of dirt or a lot of fire, but no shrapnel or its effects.
