Continuity mistake: When Jeremy Pivens interacts with the FBI investigators, after the 'wrong' suspected terrorists are killed, he starts to pick up an AK-47 leaning against the wall and its barrel is pointed 'up'. He is told not to and in the next shot is putting it back, but the barrel is now pointing 'down'. Not to mention the continuity flaw in the distance he appears to have moved in a millisecond.
The Kingdom (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Peter Berg
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper
Arabian police find a bunch of teenage terrorists and thinking they committed the crime, the team drives to the airport. As they are, a car bomb goes off and their car flips over. Another car, driven by associates of Al Hamza, comes and they kidnap Adam. The others follow him to an apartment building, kill the terrorists and save Adam. After all is said and done, Fleury discovers that a little girl's grandfather is Al Hamza. Fleury shoots him, but not before Al Hamza shoots Al Ghaza, who bleeds to death. After the team ships home, Adam asks Fleury what he said to Janet in the briefing room earlier in the movie. Fleury's response is "Don't worry, we're gonna kill them all." Back in Saudi Arabia, Al Hamza's granddaughter is asked what his last words were and she gives the exact same answer.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: I'm forty-two years old. I have two daughters and a son. Beautiful son. And I find myself in a place where I no longer care about why we are attacked. I only care that one hundred people woke up a few mornings ago, and had no idea it was their last. When we catch the man who murdered these people, I don't care to ask even one question. I want to kill him. Do you understand?
Ronald Fleury: Yes, I do.
Trivia: Throughout the movie, they refer to the terrorist bomb-maker by the name of Abu Hamza. Although this movie is a work of fiction, there is a convicted Muslim Imam preacher in the UK called Abu Hamza, who is being sought by the USA for extradition on terrorist charges, for bombing people in Jordan.
