The top mistakes in Battlefield Earth http://www.moviemistakes.com/film2217 en Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:56:46 +0000 27506 After 1000 years have passed (without any maintenance) the Harrier jets still function like new. Amazing. 33570 The cavemen, who previously had no concept of the principles of flight, are taught how to fly a Harrier on a simulator in one afternoon. 33571 The barbarians find a working 1000 year old flight simulator. Beside the fact that the machine should not be working to begin with after such time, they were lucky enough to find a working power source in the barren wasteland. 30416 We see the nuclear weapon used to destroy the planet Psycho pulled out of a cruise missile. A warhead cannot be yanked out of the missile and detonated without the fissionable material being removed and built into an entirely new device. This a safeguard to keep them from being pulled out and used in exactly this way. 146859 Jet fuel takes about 20 years to degrade if it is left in a fuel tank. The AV-8 Harriers left in Ft.
