Deliberate mistake: After the AN-12 launches from the carrier, you see U.S. Navy near the nose of the craft, and MG on the tail code (MG=McGuire Air Force Base). Also, during the flight shots, the plane transforms between a C-130 and AN-12 multiple times.

Directed by: Marc Forster

Continuity mistake: Just before the garbage truck mows down the policeman and continues through traffic, we see behind the cop a street full of stopped cars, and a building less than 100 yards away (the street starts at a T-intersection). There is no truck, and no way for it to have gotten onto the street at the speed it's going. (00:07:05)
Gerry Lane: If you can fight, fight. Be prepared for anything. Our war has just begun.
Trivia: Peter Capaldi, the new Doctor Who for 2014, is listed in the credits as W.H.O. Doctor. Just a fun coincidence, as the roles are too far apart to have been planned, but worth a look.
