Rocketeer picture

Eve of Destruction picture

Continuity mistake: During the driving sequence on the mountain road, the foliage shown is inconsistent. For example, when the guy in the BMW cuts Eve off and yells at her through the passenger window, orange autumn leaves can be seen reflected on his windshield. Shots outside the vehicles immediately before and after this shot show only evergreen trees in the area. After this, when Beamer Guy is shown talking on his cell phone, shot from inside the vehicle, the trees seen outside his driver-side window are significantly different than those shown in shots outside the car.

Flight of the Intruder picture

Continuity mistake: During the catapult launch for the SAM suppression mission, we can see two Shrike missiles on the right wing pylons. In the next shot, there is only one. At this point they still haven't reached the SAM site so they wouldn't need to fire one. A little later in another shot (right before they switch to active radar) we see two Shrikes again.

Toy Soldiers picture

Continuity mistake: When Luis Cali is strapping Billy Tepper in the office, he is standing in front of the desk, while Billy is standing on the opposite side. Billy is facing him (while bending forward), so the strapping marks on Billy's back should be vertical, from head to butt, or at least diagonal. But later when the guys are cleaning the wounds, the marks are horizontal.

Suggested correction: We never see a close up of his hand or what direction it's facing. Purely speculation.
