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 last leg of Dennis Quaid's trek to New York, he is shown entering New York coming from the east by the Statue of Liberty through Staten Island. This is inconsistent seeing as how they began their journey at Washington DC. We see the GPS is working on several occasions - no way to get lost. [Actually a quick look at a map of the area will show you that the Statue of Liberty is south and a little west of Manhattan, which is the direction that Jack would be coming from.]
I'm pretty sure that the dog in the film is called 'Boomer'. This must be an Emmerich trademark as the dog in 'Independence Day' was also called Boomer. [The dog is called Buddha.]
In the closing scenes we see rescue helicopters, including Chinooks, flying into Manhattan to pick up the survivors. These came from Mexico? That's an epic journey for these helicopters - at less than 200mph - and they'd need refueling several times along the way, which seems equally unlikely given that most of the US is now iced up. [At the end of the movie when one of the astronauts in the space station comments how clear the air looks and we get a view of the United States, we can see that most of the upper portion of the country is snowed in while the southern part is snow free. The helicopters that were probably used were a UH-60 series Blackhawk helicopter and Ch-47D Chinook that is more durable and able to take on harsh weather conditions. Both have air refueling capabilities and since there are military bases that dot along the southern part of the country, there is a possibility of a KC-130 Hercules or another military refueling plane that could provide them with the fuel they need to get to New York and back.]
When the father and his buddy camp in the Wendy's they survive the sudden coldness because they put all of the gas rings on. But any kind of gas would be frozen. [This is not liquid gas in this scene. The temperature would have to be much colder to freeze natural gas.]
When Houston asks the space station to confirm that Northern Europe is clear, they look over at Italy and confirm that it's clear. Italy is part of Southern Europe. [They say "we're over Europe", not "northern Europe".]
