Interceptors picture

Revealing mistake: When the Interceptor team flies in their cargo plane to Mexico to investigate the UFO crash, several shots filmed from the front show the six of them all in the cockpit (not in the body of the plane.) They're seated as they might be in a car, three across, front and back. The window of the cockpit looks remarkably similar to a station wagon windshield, down to the large rectangular front windshield, and even the rear view mirror is in place.

The Moment After picture

Revealing mistake: In addition to the chain and lock not being in a position to actually secure the entrance to the "Metro Christian Shelter", the board covering the entrance does not appear to be securely attached to the building on the right side. Furthermore, when the men move the board over, it is a rather thin piece of plywood/board that can easily be kicked in. (00:17:17)
