When he does a 360 degree loop in the helicopter the broken window and blood appears on his left side—the opposite window to that which he was shot through. 75528 The Army Sergeant that gives the Blue Thunder presentation's mustache is out of military regulations - much too thick and too long. 53615 When Cochran sabotages the Jet Ranger helicopter by loosening the nut on the bolt securing the linear actuator governor, the bolt is inserted in the wrong direction. The bolt should have been heads up to prevent it from falling out as it did causing the helicopter to crash. Moreover, the linear actuator is on the opposite of the engine from where Cochran disconnected it. 131040 When the SWAT officers are piling out of the van to get into the helicopters to chase Blue Thunder, the lead SWAT officers hair is too long at the back.
