Clear And Present Danger

Other mistake: The first plane to explode has a very neat symmetrical blast originating from underneath the plane - which is in fact wrong given that only one charge was placed on the side of the plane. The plane would be badly damaged and probably jack knife through the side of the hangar instead.

Other mistake: In Columbia, Ryan gets an RPG shot at him while he's driving an SUV backwards. It blows up right in front of the vehicle, and causes fire to get into the open driver side door. Miraculously, Ryan isn't suffering from severe burns.

Other mistake: In Colombia, a heavily camouflaged soldier goes into a hangar and places a bomb on it and rushes out before it explodes. On his way out, he passes another soldier who is lying as close to the ground as possible. In front of this soldier is a line of fine wire, right in front of his face. The only thing I can think of for that wire being there is as a marker for the actor.
