Mistakes
In the opening sequence, an asteroid headed for Earth, and are told that this was the "Dinosaur Killer" 65 million years ago. The narrator says that it exploded with the force of "10,000 nuclear weapons." If we assume the asteroid that impacted was nine miles across (a typical number used for the impactor) and moving at 10 miles per second (which is actually a minimum speed; it almost has to be traveling faster than that) the impact should release something like 80,000,000 megatons of energy. Even if we assume a 100 megaton bomb, which is comfortably larger than any nuclear ever detonated, that's 800,000 nuclear weapons. See more...

Armageddon
Continuity: In the sequence where they are disarming the bomb. When the clock gets down to 00:24, the picture is reversed (the split second shot when they pull the clock out of the bomb). This one is better to go frame by frame on the DVD.
