Continuity mistake: As Richards and Buzzsaw are trying to overpower each other with the saw between them, the angle of the saw changes between shots. First, it's over Ben's left shoulder, then over his right as Buzzsaw talks. Also, when Buzzsaw talks, you hear the saw revving, but the chain isn't moving.

Other mistake: In the opening sequence of the Huey flying over the crowd, the uniforms of all five men stay unruffled, despite the doors and windows being open, which would allow the wind to pass through.
